Hi, everyone!

Keyworth,
Hello again, sorry it took me so long to check back after asking you a question. I had not heard the name Polar Lights before. I take it that's the Jetsons as in the cartoon show? Your mention of that reminded me of a model I did as a kid related to a TV show. There was a show with mariannettes (sp?) called, I think, "Fireball XL-5". They had some sort of craft, I think a space ship, and I did a model of it.

I am finishing a Guillows balsa/tissue P-40 right now. Then I will be back to plastic. I was going to do a half-track next, but now am not sure; have a few unbuilt kits to pick from.

Happy modeling.

Welcome aboard!

Best of luck on your entries! You'll have to let us know how it goes. I'd ask what the entries are going to be - but wouldn't want you to give anything away.

Would you believe the Polar Lights Jetsons kit?!?!? It was a lot of fun to put together. I have to new Polar Lights Godzilla kit as well, the BIG one. Got a few a/c projects in the wings as well. I'll be going to the Atlanta Model Expo in a couple of weeks and hope to have a couple of contest entries ready. How 'bout you? By the way, I hit the big 5-0 next Wednesday.

Hi, Keyworth,

My situation is more the converse; have done no modeling since I was 6.... Not exacly, but am getting into it in recent years on and off, and more steadly lately. ( I am 46 now. A hobby really helps counter work stress!)

I particularly enjoy USAFF in WWII as well, but like you, not without other interests. A friend of mine gave me a Squadron/Signal book on a WWII Russion fighter and said he ordered the kit for me. I think he is the one that has made me more aware of the Russion air craft from that side of the war. Just something I had not thought about otherwise.

Do you have something right now?
