Hello Again...
Posted by Wingman_kz on Wednesday, January 9, 2008 10:06 PM

I haven't been active here for a long time. It's been almost 5 years since I joined. At the time I had just returned to modeling after a 40 year or so absence. I had no idea how modeling had evolved. My main interest at the time was automotive modeling and I found other forums that dealt with it exclusively and just gradually drifted away from this forum. There were no problems, hard feelings, arguements or other reasons. I just stopped coming around.

So, I've spent the last few years building cars. Not a lot, things move slowly here. Actually became more of a collector of kits than a builder. I got tired of lugging them around every time I move and have sold most of them just keeping a few favorites. But in that time I've learned much more about paint, airbrushing, scratchbuilding, etc...

Now I'm diverisfying a bit. Just started my first A/C kit in close to 40 years. Not sure it was a good choice for a re-intoductory kit. lol  It's the Revell 1/48 F-14A. Oh boy. But I'm going to do it however it turns out. After this one's finished, and maybe a couple more, there's a 1/32 Trumpeter Corsair waiting on the shelf. Wish me luck.

Anyways, my name is Tony. I may need a lot of assistance. lol

Sign - Welcome [#welcome] to the forum Tony.  I have the same F14A kit in my stash.  Keep us posted on how the build goes.

Thanks guys! I'll try to post some updates. Just getting the basics together right now, testing fit and painting the cockpit.

Oh, and trying to learn how to shoot MM Acryl. :-)
