Welcome to the Forums Travis! Glad to have you aboard.
You have come to the right place. The members here are not only very knowledgeable but they are ready to help you with any question or problem that you might have.

That will make it a lot easier to get the right answers more quickly.
I've built all types of models in the 71 years that I've been building. My favs are WWI & WWII planes followed by all types of sailing ships. If a model strikes my fancy, and my wallet says "OK", I'll build it. Love the hobby.
Sit back, relax and build away. Be sure to post pics of your builds so we can watch your progress and know the best way to help you.
