What site like this would most aircraft modellers visit? I'm looking for one with lots of international visitors so I can find some Irish airplane modellers.

Not to take the wind out of aeroscale,but Aircraftresourcecenter.com and Hyperscale.com are pretty high-traffic aircraft sites as well.

Like Mike, the first place I think of when asked about aircraft modeling is ARC then HyperScale next.

Always the first place I go for Anything aircraft related is Aeroscale. If you prefer a good argumant over accuracy then Hypertension is good. Hyperscale does have some fantastic models posted and many of my customers showcase their models there

Aeroscale everytime over Hyperscale for me.
While there is undoubtably some fantastic work posted on HS, the forums often degenerate into arguments and appear to be more of a platform for a few inflated egos than a modelling site at times.
If your looking for a site with international vistors then Aeroscale has a greater spread of worldwide posters, viewers and members, HS being more USA centric.
If you compare the amount of people online at the sites then Aeroscale has far more vistors than HS too.
Right now, HS is showing 58, Aeroscale 197.

Aeroscale, period.

I've never been afraid to ask a question on Aeroscale, and for the most part everyone is more than willing to help each other out. I've met quite a few good friends here. None from Australia thank God.

Agreed. Most interactive site for positive feedback and assistance I've found.

LOL!
Sorry D, I'd totally forgotten you had learned how to read the message boards.


What I meant to says was........there are a bunch of great guys (and a couple ladies) here on Aeroscale, especally the Aussies. Mainly because they're always drunk.

ps: Just kidding Australian people.
