Hello from Va, USA
« on: April 07, 2014, 11:26:48 PM »
A long time RC modeler here wanting to get into scale German models in particular.  I am also an Artist so hopefully my background will help me with the finer details of scale modeling.  I look forward to reading as much as I can to try and begin learning all the ins and outs of this fine art.  I have a good dual action airbrush and compressor so that much is taken care of, now to start learning everything from which glues to use to what filler, paints etc. and I am off to the races.  I have a couple of 1/72 kits on the way as I type this; a  Fokker Dr.1 and DV.III.
