Hey All,
Like a lot of other people, I am returning to the hobby after many (45+) intervening years. I made a lot of models as a kid, but was never really good at it. Just globbed a bunch of Testers glue and paints all over the kits and then played with them until they broke.
Now I am taking it a bit more seriously, and learning all the amazing techniques that I either never bothered with as a kid, or that didn’t actually exist back then.
I’m having a wonderful time!
I’ve built two kits so far (the Airfix 1/48 Bf109 E and the Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk1), and am currently working on the Airfix 1/48 Hawker Hurrican Mk1.
As these are basically practice kits for me I didn’t set my goals too high, but they turned out 100% better than anything I made as a kid. (once I get a photo host set up, I'll post some pics)
I’ve got a few more in the queue, as I work my way up to the Tamiya 1/32 P-51. I am going to be building that one in the color scheme of my dad's cousin’s plane. He was shot down over Pyongyang during the Korean War. His remains were never recovered, so I though it would be a nice tribute to build his plane.
Anyway, nice to be here and I look forward to getting to know you all and learning from you!
Cheers,
Mark
