Greetings all.

I'm a new member to the website.  After seeing the fantastic mag that Fine Scale puts out... how could I NOT join?  The pics, tips and techniques on this site are fantastic, and I look forward to spending a lot of time browsing here.  Love it so far. 

About me... I'm a mid 50's guy who recently got back into modelling after leaving it when I was in my early teens.  Sure is a lot of difference now.  Kits are better, techniques are GREAT, and tools/paints are a lot better too. 
I'm married with 2 grown boys who are out on their own.  I retired from the USAF in '91 and although I most love WWII era planes, I love anything that flies.  I'm a former glider pilot with nearly 2000 hrs in the cockpit (health stopped that one ).

So far I've completed a P-47, done as Hun Hunter XIV, P-51 Shangri La, P-51 Petie 2nd, and a Do-335 A12.  All Tamiya kits.  Waiting in the wings are two more '51s I'm going to do in Tuskeegee colors and a B-17G that will be "escorted" by the Tuskeegee planes.  Got some other kits on the shelf too...

I'm planning a pretty large display that will be one of each aircraft I "guarded" while in the USAF, but that is gonna take a LONG time to get finished.  LOL.  Gone for me are the days of throwing a kit together in an evening.  :)

Time to get back to the building table now......
