I didn’t retire from the service but spent 4 yrs in the USAF(Korean Conflict–1951-1955), was a flight line mech., first started out on T-33 jets after school at Amarillo AFB Tex., then had the chance to transfer over to B-25’s and get on flying status($50 bucks extra on the month,living high off the hog),my wife and I were stationed at Moody,AFB, Valdosta,Ga.,little humor about the wife but she always said she had enlisted also. To get back to the other things I would appreciate any help on modeling ,figures, etc. that you can give,since I have plenty of time on my hands now, as I said before my wife has passed away, the kids have left home and the dog has died. Let me hear from you anytime.
From the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mtns.(Morganton,NC), best regards,
[#welcome] to the forums! Pull up a keyboard and stay a while.
Sorry to hear about your wife and dog. I hope the kids come and visit! There are lots of great people here and who collectively know everything about models!
Welcome to our little corner in the model world [#welcome] Post often and share your wisdom.
You’ll never be alone here. Toss up a hello or a question and there is allways someone here that can help and say hi. Don’t be affraid to hit the PM (private message) icon at the bottom of a reply to talk to that person either. Allways nice to have another pilot around too.[;)]
Good point and once visiting the armor forum, you will eventually join the Dark Side? What is that? Ask any A/Cer who was once a prop builder and now a trackhead. [:D] Plenty to learn and share here. Welcome aboard.
[#ditto] My condolences as well.
You’ll find this place is a great place to find help with modeling tips, advice & even adivice on everything else since we’re one big happy family here[^] [#welcome] to our whacky world[:P]
Ahhh yesss…the Dark Side. I once spent my time strickly in the aircraft forum… One day after reading most of the same post and nothing really happening in the forum I felt this eiry pull, tugging at my very soul!.. I watched in horror as my mouse acting on its own much like a weejee board move slowly to …the…armor forum!! Once there I saw post after post, picture after picture of these neat armor vehicles…Tanks!..Armor cars!..Tanks!.. Flak 38s!..and…Tanks! Oh my gosh could it be!!! am I getting interested in this stuf!!! NO! NO! I like planes and jets and propellers!! But the pull was just too much! I was getting sucked in like hair down a drain. Then it happened, I asked the question…Hi guys I’m new to armor where do I start!!! Then their Grand Emporer who goes by the name …tigerman answered [ in a low raspy voice ] [}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)]…welcome to the Dark Side!!! OhhhhhhhhNooooooooo!!![:O][:O][:O]
