Welcome Jay, There are other builders on here with the same want to build what they worked on or flew in.

Steve

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Howdy !!!

SkyCopJC
 My immediate goal is to build kits for every aircraft I've guarded or flown in throughout my career (a semi-expansive list that only keeps growing).  It's impressive how difficult a feat that's turning out to be.  After that, who knows. 

Heres a site that you will spend most of your waking hours searching for those elusiive  kits 

oldmodlekits,com

Theres always somthing on there that I can't live without. 

Welcome aboard... dont let the stash grow too big......Is a million kits too big?

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

Jay ;

 Pros ? What Pros ? We are all just folks who like playing with plastic , resin and paint . After all , look how much we spill all over those pieces of plastic and call it weathering LOL.LOL. No , we just love to model and welcome more folks to the barn . T.B.

I'm happy to help however I can. My modeling experience may be very limited, but I've been up close and personal with just about every US bird WWII-present out there.

Hey all!  I'm not one to post intro's, more a board lurker but I figured it's time I dive in head first and reap the benefits of everything happening here.  I tinkered with a few models as a kid, like most I suspect, but never had the cash or time to make a hobby out of it until recently.  I'm active USAF and getting later in my career so I have a smidge more time to dedicate and what I thought was some cash to invest into a life-long desire to get serious about modeling (Until I started buying the paints and airbrush equipment, and more paints, and more equipment, and more kits...you all well know how that goes).  My main interest is in building modern military aircraft.  My immediate goal is to build kits for every aircraft I've guarded or flown in throughout my career (a semi-expansive list that only keeps growing).  It's impressive how difficult a feat that's turning out to be.  After that, who knows. 

Anyhow, long intro made slightly shorter, I'm enjoying all the wisdom I see so far and look forward to leeching much more from you pros in the future!
