Good morning to everybody!

I've been reading from this forum for a long time and I've been amazed by the huge choices of themes available as much as from the great expertise of the people who writes in these threads. So I decided to try this community aiming at being helpd and helping in modelling doubts. I'm an Italian modeller very fond of aircrafts: propeller or jet is not a matter for me!!! I do love P-51, P-47 and Macchi C.202 as much as F-86, F-4 and F-14 ( I reveal you a secret. There is a very beloved of mine: Starfighter, especially in Italian Air Force service! But, please, don'y tell it anybody. Thanks!). As you can easily understand my interest in aviation world basically starts from WWII and arrives to the present, going trough the Korea, Vietnam and Cold-War periods. Those are the highlights, of course. There is something else. Because of some reasons as my money, the room inside my house and the "tradition" of my modeller's career (I started when I was 12 and my parents couldn't spend so much money for my "small plastic pieces". Now I'm 45 and my soul really needs to "re-start" that career!), I prefer the 1/72 scale. I believe that I will ask you many and many things about this hobby of mine, because times changed and the tecniques I could use thirtythree years ago are much more different from the actual ones. The same is about the materials. So I would like to ask you a lot of patience with me in advance, because I'll probably ask you questions about apparently easy things. For me those "easy things" will be more than precious! I apologize for any mistake I wrote. Sincerely. CARLO

Welcome Sign And nice to see a fellow 1/72 modeller, the one true scale!

I know there are a few other italian modellers on the board, bsyamato and Italian Starfighter (guess what is his favorite aircraft?) So you are not alone.

Thank you very much for your welcome, guys!

Very nice from you!

As Italian modeler I'm glad I'm not alone in this forum. But let me say that I would feel not alone anyway, because your help is a way to let me feel "in friendship" and in good company.

I hope I'll be able to build some model good enough to show you on the forum, but I bet that the first three-four-five models I'll make will be good for my office rubbish-bin and for my funny memories only!! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

I'm n ot a good modeler. Not actually.

All the best!

Sincerely.

Welcome Sign

Carlo,

Welcome to the forum. I, too, returned to my modelling career after a long absence.  I am trying to catch up with the others here, skill-wise.  It is good to have company.  Please don't be afraid to post photos of your work, as you will find the people here are most kind, and very helpful.
