Hello.
This place looks to be a weatlh of information, knowledge and traffic. I'm sure I'll be doing alot of reading for a while, to get up to speed on things.
I'm trying to get started in the scale modeling hobby. I've never had the pleasure of doing a model before and just recently started looking into it.
US Navy aircraft of any era is what really does it for me. I recently put several aircraft into a hat and drew the F4U-2 for my first piece. I am eager to get started, but currently waiting for some missing parts (34 to be exact).
I am not going to limit myself and say that aircraft is where I'll stay. I would like to experience the majority of aspects that the hobby has to offer.

Welcome!! that first model usualy is a random thing. I was 7 built the f18 prototype. Never have figured out why. Don't even remember picking. I do trying too put it together is the back seat of a car at night going home. It was blue, my favorite color and liking the swing vote in my decision. See you around!! Picked a scale yet?

welcome to the forums. you will find many of us still choose our builds at random, sometimes with a poll, and sometimes just by closing our eyes.

Hi Keith, and welcome to asylum. You'll find this place a wealth of information. I wish they're been a place like this when I first started (late 60's-pre computer).
