Greetings Fellow Modelers

Posted by VMCJ-3 on Thursday, July 24, 2008 2:21 PM

Greetings Fellow Modelers !

Well, I thought it was about time to get with it as far as Computer Forums. Since I'm undoubtedly a "Senior Citizen" of the modelers group (58 yrs) and modeling since I was approximately 5 years old. If nothing else, what most of you consider a Historical item, I remember when it first came out ! (Some benefits to being an old codger ! )

At any rate, my main interests lie with 1/144th scale, Aircraft mostly. But thankfully almost everything is starting to be produced in my beloved scale. Plus it goes without saying it really is a Great time to enjoy this hobby....other than the ever rising prices !

Enjoy Gang, and Semper Fi.........................Bruce

Howdy, Bruce. If you like 1/144, have you seen Pavla's WWII Airfield set? Looks great, it's RAF specific in some ways but holds promise.

Gents,

Thanks for the warm greetings. As soon as I figure out the procedure on this forum for uploading pics, I'll throw up a few "Smurf Models" for everyone's amusement.

Cassibill - I haven't seen the WWII Airfield set yet, but I'll have to go digging, Thanks for the tip.

Take it easy, Gang, and keep building..........................Bruce

There's a card model for a hanger that can be used as a template.

Matador Models makes white metal cockpits and some airfield trucks.

As for Pavla's "U144-01 RAF ground equipment set WW2 part I", that makes me hopeful for a part II. If you get ahold of one before me (good chance since I'm a student and thus generally deal hunt with Mom's money and maybe pick up supplies when I need them), let me know how it is.
