GliderGuider Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hi all, I've recently returned to this wonderful hobby after a break of 20 years. In researching or seeking advice on the kits I've made so far I stumbled across this forum, and it's really inspired me and got me well and truly addicted again! I'm especially interested in early WWII aircraft, but I'm planning to do a few later war types as well in the near future. And I'm starting to get quite excited at the prospect of participating in some group builds as I improve my skills. As the user name implies gliding is one of my other interests. Mainly radio-controlled gliders at the moment, although I've also done quite a bit of "full size" gliding too. Fortunately 1/72 and 1/48 scale kits will take up a bit less room than the gliders do! I'm looking forward to learning heaps more from everyone! All the best, Matt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan G Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Matt I have also just returned after many years away. I am also looking forward to developing my skills and to learn from others. I am in Brisbane and have attended the Riverside Scale Model Club. My original intent was to focus on 1/72 twin engine WWII aircraft but this has already been slightly altered. I am currently working on a 1/72 Airfix Hudson. This is a challenge as the kit and the research I have done, including the only flying example (Temora Hudson) do not align. I have already a list of modifications I have made to make a reasonable A16-112. This challenge is invigorating. I am looking forward to everything I will have to do and any advice I may receive.
