New to this hobby

Posted by Loz on Monday, June 2, 2014 6:25 PM

Hi. I am from Gold Coast Australia and new to this hobby. I have some experience in building model wooden boats but no experience with plastic. I have always been interested in war planes and love the modern jet fighters. Would have loved to have been a fighter pilot but unfortunately I was too tall and my feet would have stuck out the jet intake. So I will attempt to construct some models and go off in a dream and fly them. I am presently waiting for my first kit which is an Academy Sabre F 86. Hope you will be patient with my constant questions

Welcome to the Forum, Loz. We're glad to have you hear as part of our Australian contingent--which is actually quite large.

Don't be afraid to ask questions.

Welcome to the forums Loz. It's great to have you here. Do not hesitate to ask plenty of questions. It's how we all learn to improve our modeling skills.
