A returnee...

[SimonR2800]

Hi all,

Just a quick post to say 'hello.'

I'm Simon, and I'm from Yorkshire, and I'm about to make a return to modelling. I've been away for quite a few years, but now the kids have flown the nest and I'm "on me tod" I thought it was about time that I got back into the hobby I loved when I was younger and pre-family. Not that this stopped me from buying kits by the way, I just never found the time to build them (I've over a hundred to work through! LOL) But at least kit-collecting isn't illegal.

I'm mainly into WWII aircraft (1/48 scale usually) but I also like 1/12 scale motorcycles and some car kits, noticeably NASCAR. I have attempted the odd AFV, too.

Anyway, I'm about to research a new airbrush or two and a compressor amongst other things. Any help, tips etc would be greatly appreciated.

See you around the forum when work and ale allows me to. Please note I don't combine the two.

Kind regards

Simon

Thanks very much Paul.

It's down to you and your YouTube videos that I found this place, and you've helped me decide which airbrush and compressor I'm going to buy (from Air-craft.net). Oh, and your Ultimate Thinners, Primers and Cleaners. I've spent a bl**dy fortune!!

All the best.
