  You will find Advice and Praise as well as everything else right here. Glad ya could make it! Tanker-Builder

Hi, Baron. Yes! My grandfather was indeed in VMB413. In preparing for my build, I just discovered that the squadron was the first to fly PBY's for the Marines. It makes me all the more excited to dive in!

Welcome back to the hobby and welcome to the forum, J!

My grandfather flew B-25's in the Pacific theatre during WWII. Since I was never able to meet him, I've always had an interest in WWII aircraft. I just purchased a B-25 kit to dive back into building and would love to connect with other aircraft enthusiasts...

 

 

 

Was your grandfather in VMB-413 in the war?  Which kit did you get?  I look forward to seeing your build!

Best regards,

Brad

 

Thanks, Ben! I've been overwhelmed with just how welcoming everyone is. I'll be sure to post progress pics and am excited to learn tips and tricks from everyone!

Welcome to the forums.  You'll find plenty of help friendly here.

My Father flew C-47s for a time in WWII until he got grounded and I had to ride on one during VIetnam for a trip to Bangkok.  Deffinately an experience to remember.

Welcome aboard.  A friend of mine's grand father was co-pilot flying TNT on the Doolittle raid.  I built the Accurate Miniatures Doolittle raider B-25B kit for him with his grandfather's markings.  Nice kit.  Which kit/scale did you get?

Welcome aboard.
