Hello

  I'm not new to this forum and FSM website. I have followed this forum and subscribed to FSM for many years.  I have been modeling for over 40 years off and on. In March I had some health problems and was forced to retire. Not a bad thing from my point of view. I now have plenty of time to work on my 200 plus model kit stash.

   My favorite subjects are 1:32, and 1:48 scale WW2 aircraft. I also build post WW2 era aircraft to present aircraft and Armor subjects From WW2 to present. My current project is Trumpeters 1:32 scale TBF-1C Avenger.  I’m using Eduards BIGED for detailing and doing some scratch building also. I hope to have it done before I pass away(just kidding).  I have seen modeling change a lot over these 40 years.  I still use the local privately owned hobby store for most of the things I need.  If you count in the price of shipping and handling I still can get supplies and kits within a dollar or two from over the internet, and also the convenience of getting things when I need them.   

  I look forward to communicating and building friendships with many of you. Many of which have been on FSM forum for many years  helping many fellow modelers with questions and solving modeling problems.

Welcome Sign  Recalibrate the plasma coils to emit an inverse resonant tachyon pulse which will create a harmonic phase echo in the local subspace field. The secondary gyrodyne relays in the propulsion field inter-matrix have just depolarized. (Remember, it’s not technobabble if it’s said by an engineer.)

Enjoy some laughs and kick back … We’re all barmy.

It's just sometimes my eyes are bigger than commonsense.

Ditto (aka ditto)

Like you, I am a retired guy.  I build mostly WWII aircraft also, and focus mainly on the  Pacific theater - US Navy, IJN and some USAAC (or USAAF, as I have seen it written lately).  I have some Vietnam birds in the stash, and I'll be doing a ship or two as I go along, and maybe a space build sometime.

Again, welcome aboard!
