I am particularly fond that this forum exists, if for no other reason that I learned to plastic modeling when I was living at RAF Mildenhall when my father was stationed there in the early 1980's. So I've always thought that the Brits did it best. But I really have not done any since I left for college. Obviously I've rediscovered it, hence I'm here. I've always liked working in 1/48th scale, it allows detail I think... My father was a special forces aviator. He flew the MC-130 for his entire 23 year career. He was and is my hero and he's cultivated an interest for unusual aircraft.
