Hello,

Was in a pawn shop to buy my son a Banjo for Christmas and found a Paasche airbrush compressor that looked brand new and it was on sale! I couldn't pass it up. Needed something to paint so I bought small 1/72 scale hellcat model. Finished that and then built a quick snap together mustang. Now I'm about 90% complete on a 1/72 Acadamy Hellcat. My first attempts have not been museum quality. Joined group to help improve my building skills.

Having fun getting back into a hobby that I hadn't been involved in for over 30 years.

Welcome to the madness. Lots of help here, don't ask me how I know. Just ask, and pics of builds are always welcome.

Welcome Paul. Welcome Sign

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

Howdy !

I just read your profile page. I like carrier based aircraft too. My favorite is the TBF Avenger.

But when it come's to building kit's, I will build ANYTHING !

Hi Paul! Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you aboard.

You've come to the right place. I've been building for 71 of my 77 years and build anything that strikes my fancy and my wallet says OK. Wink Learned a lot here and continue to learn something new almost every day.

Enjoy!

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
