Welcome Finger Four.  There is always plenty to absorb about a/c models.  You will probably find here anything you're looking for.

Welcome! I'm fairly new here myself but I've quickly found that this is the right place for asking questions, learning, helping others and just generally hanging out. You'll love it here. They're good people.

You'll probably find answers for every modelling question possible, unless you're trying to miniturize a working nuclear reactor or particle collider. Ahh hell, wouldn't suprise me if there's a few that could help with that too.

              Welcome Sign

Bill.

On the bench:  Lindberg 1/32 scale 1934 Ford Coupe and a few rescue projects.

In queue:  Tamiya 1/35 Quad Tractor or a scratch build project.

Welcome !!   Your screen name implies that you have somehow lost the fifth finger.

Was it a horrible Dremel accident???

Perhaps a bad slash of the old X-ACTO ???

Or are you like me and just glued the finger to something.......  I hate it when that happens !!

Anyway.... welcome to the forums. Be sure to post pictures of your builds. Jump on in and have fun ! WE all do.

Except when my wife makes me wear a helmet during "modeling time" ! 

 Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"

No, no. the "finger-four" is a flight configuration developed by the Luftwaffe during the Spanish Civil war, though I think other countries used it around the same time. I'm sure he has all of his digits (You do, right?).

Depends on what the definition of digits is....

Do we have another Luftwaffe Fw 190 contestant in the house???? Could it be? Youre definitely in the right place pal. Good to have you on board. Lots of Luftwaffe addicts in here. If you poke around in here a bit you'll find a couple of really cool group builds going on. Have fun in here. You are in good company, Joe

I checked out some of the German camo in the Aircraft thread and haven't seen such fine mottling anywhere since I had scarlet fever...

Which RLM shades was your scarlet fever done in. Now that would be an illness to show off.
