Hi all! Been a couple years since I was last on this site having just returned from Riyadh recently. I would use my old screen name and PW if I could remember them… Long time aircraft builder (collector) but for some reason I now have 3 U-boat kits on hand? In work on the VIIC/41 at the moment but will follow it up with the 1/32 F-18D now that I found decals of my old squadron (VMFA-242). It’s good to be back in the States and able to log onto FSM again. Happy modelling! Scott
Welcome back Scott [#welcome].
Regards, Rick
Good to have you back!! Whoever you were. [(-D] Isn’t it weird how kit’s multiply when you’re not looking? “I swore there was only two of those.” Scratch head.

[#welcome] Scott and where you at in queen creek? I my self am out by florence juction about 10 miles from suppirior.
I just moved up here from Oro valley. I’m actually in Copper Basin or Johnson ranch/Queencreek…go figure?? Just off King HWY and about 14 miles from Florence. Went thru Florence Junction this morning on the way to/from Tempe. Any hobby shops near by? Figure I will keep Squadron and Discount hobbies busy with mail orders.
Nope closest LHS is hobby depot off valvista and elliot and then hobbytown usa off of gilbert and baseline, there aint squat out here tkes me 30min to an hour to get to mesa.
Yep… looks like I will be ordering paints and kits by mail order out here, don’t have any reasons for making a trip to Mesa or Phoenix. I usually get a better deal anyways from Squadron or Discount Hobbies.
I dont mind ordering from squadron or e-hobbyland, but i like to see and hold what iam gona buy. If i cant get it in town i’ll order it thoght. Hay you going to the modelzona contest this saturday if so i’ll be there, it be nice to actually meet people from the forum that are in the same state and BS.
Nothing beats being in a fine hobby shop but if I see a super sale from Squadron or e-hobbyland I try to pick it up. Can’t make the Modelzona show, need to run down to Tucson in the A.M. and pick up some uniforms and maybe do a little target shooting. But I hope to make it to one of the Phoenix IPMS shows.
