I've been a long time lurker here and have really enjoyed reading the threads in all the forums. Some of the work you guys do just blows me away, honestly! If I can ever come distantly close to what I see posted here, I'll be happy.
I've gotten back into the hobby after moving out while I navigate a divorce. That's a story for another day, but in the meantime, I hope scale modelling will be a nice diversion to all that.
So a buddy of mine brought back a 1/144 F-RSIN Convair 990 from a hobby shop in Paris and gave it to me as a gift. Holy smokes. I guess whatever I attempt going forward will be a piece of cake. This thing is one hot mess. I'm doing my best with it. It's a fit nightmare so I'm using it as a good introduction to filing, filling and sanding. Maybe you more experienced builders wouldn't be as challenged as I am with it, but I'm just having fun and learning from it. As to how it turns out, well, who knows. I do know if I get that far, I'm going to have to put it on a stick as the landing gear is just trash.
Maybe if I can figure out posting pics, I'll bring this over to the airliner thread. I've got Eduards 1/48 F6F up next, which I think will be more like it.
I'll have lots of questions as I relearn this hobby so I apologize in advance for being a pest.
