Hi there !

Hello all

I’m a passionate about history in general, especially military history. I’m in my early 40’s, a long time lurker to this site but quite new to the hobby (started modeling seriously just barely over one year ago), so I call myself an “advanced newbie”, as I have acquired some experience with assembling and painting plastic models, but I’m still very much in the “newbie” part of the spectrum. Meaning I still have a ton and a half to learn !

So far I’ve been making mostly 1/72 WWII era aircrafts and two (quite old) 1/35 vehicles : Italeri CWT Chevy Truck and Tamiya M5A1 light tank. No cars yet, but I have the AMT 2009 Corvette in my stash.

What I’m building at the moment are : the very old Italeri Hetzer tank destoyer, with which I’m trying to make a small diorama, and my first ever 1/48 aircraft, Revell TBF Avengers (reboxing of a venerable Monogram kit from the 60’s).

Looking forward to talking with you guys !

Welcome Jay! Be sure to post some pics of your builds!
