Let’s see now–I’ve got every issue of Fine Scale Modeler from the very first (and some even in hard bound) and have been modeling on and off since age 9–anybody remember the Strombecker kits?? I concentrate mainly in 1/48 WW11 aircraft but since I’m a Korean war vet (RB-36’s) I stretch a little further with F7F, F8F and will be building the P-59A Airacomet soon. I’ve won some contests with honorable mentions, third and second places but am still striving for the number one spot. One of the reasons I feel I haven’t gotten that spot yet is because I’m STILL LEARNING and that is what makes this hobby so fascinating. Jack R.
Welcome to FSM Jack.
Good to have another model veteran come and join us here.
Enjoy the forums !!!
Welcome Jack, I hope we can help or you help us for that matter.
Welcome, Jack!!
Good to have you here - I’ve got an idea - why not post some pictures of your contest place getters - we’d love to see them.
And I envy you for your complete collection of FSM - My collection only goes back to 1982 or so up to the current issue.
We all know much about modelling, but you’re never too old or knowledgeable to learn from someone else…all you gotta do is listen…
Cheers mate

Welcome to the forum, Jack. The wealth of information grows here by the day. Glad you can contribute your experiences. Have fun !
Welcome Aboard Jack!
I wish I had that many FSM’s left! Well let me re-prhase that…I wish I had all the FSM’s that I have purchased still…Speaking of which I rescued a few from the bathroom trashcan…Geesh if my wife is going to pitch my reading material she needs to learn to do it where I wont find it…or make it so I cant save it! OOOps I better hush she might see this. Geesh those issues were only a year old! LOL

Nice of you to pop in Jack! This is the one place to ask questions and learn new stuff, but I’m sure your experience will be useful to us too. You’re the first person I ‘know’ that ever flew in the B-36… Memories of the 1/72 Monogram kit… What a beast that was!
Looking forward to hearing from you soon again,
Domi

Welcome to FSM Jack. We hope you can share some of your experiences with us here.
Many thanks for your welcomes-----and if I ever figure out how to transmit photos of some of my projects into the Forum you modelers will be responsible! In the meantime I did have some of my photos published in the Member Gallery some time back such as a Curtiss P-36,and a. SnJ/AT-6. Once again, thanks for the warm welcome!
Wow, every issue of FSM and some in hardback? That’s a VETERAN modeler for you!
I feel so young…
