Just signed up!

I’ve been a reader of FSM for years. So I guess its time I plugged in to the community!

I’m a lifelong aviation and history nerd, and been building models on and off for 40 years. Right now it’s mostly on! I’ve been an Air Traffic Controller for almost 30 years, and now, as I’m approaching retirement I hope I’ll be able to make some real progress on my unbuilt model stash.

When I look at the quality of builds around here I know I’m still pretty crude in my efforts. But I enjoy the hobby, and I love history.

Welcome aboard, we welcome modellers of all levels here so dive in and enjoy.

Welcome to the forums

Welcome to the Forum, Dave!

Thanks guys!

Maybe I should add I’m a 1/48th guy. I do all WWII, mostly aircraft, some armor and vehicles.

Welcome to the forums! Jump on in and have fun!

Hi Dave,

All you need here is a love for the hobby.

Welcome.

Still waiting for a 1/48 Tamiya Type 97 Chi Ha!

Yeah, good luck on that wait. I think there are around 4 or 5 Japanese armor subjects you can get.

Given the number of unbuilt kits I have, its probably just as well that I wait.

That’s ok, there room for all scale here, even the odd 48th kit [whstl]

Hah, yeah, I’m sure I’m the first!

Welcome to the Forums Dave! Glad to have you aboard!
