Hello everyone, My name is Les and have recently found myself in a bit of medical bother at work and have been signed off now for two months and may find that I will be unfit to drive trains again, so have had to find something to occupy my time at home. I bought the airfix 1:350 HMS Illustrious which has got my interest going again after years away. Its such a big model that I have made a total mess of it with hand painting and spilling plastic weldall over it.
I have also watched Paul's videos on painting the BF 109 so will try that when I manage to buy a half decent airbrush.
Look forward to learning more about the hobby from all the experts on here ( I have lurked a couple of times) and looking at the superb builds.
Thanks Les

Welcome along mate. Sorry to hear about your medical issues, but on the bright side, you now have time to become a model hermit!
