OK, just joined the forum and thought Id introduce myself. Trouble is Im useless at intros.

My name is Penny and Ive recently returned to scale models after a very long lay off. As a kid I would model 1/72 aircraft. Had some lovely aircraft but probably my favourite was privateer, which I would love to do again some day, if I can find it in 1/48.

I have also painted warhammer figures, mainly Khorne Chaos, but Im guessing from the title of this forum that this would be a story for another forum.

So, my aim is to build 1/48 US Naval aircraft. Why? I really dont know. I have military in my blood, USAF, RAF, Royal Marines and Royal Navy but no US Navy.

I am a "fun" modeller, this meaning that although I aim to get better with every kit I do it for fun. Im a long way off creating anything that i suitable for public display, but I do think I get a bit better as I go.

So, Ive mentioned US Naval aircraft but in reality, with the current financial climate, Ill do anything I can get hold of cheap.

Im currently building
Accurate Minitures B-25B Mitchell Doolittle bomber
Matchbox Kaman SH-2F seasprite.

I am also havng a nightmare with an Inpact Hawker Fury.

In reserve I have the following

Revell F-117A Nighthawk
Tamiya Sea Harrier
Inpact Flycatcher
Auroa Tiger Moth
Revell F14 (1/144)
Revell Eurofighter (1/144)

O, suppose Id better mention the little bits. Im 38, female, working for a living

Hi Penny,

Welcome aboard. Hope you have fun with building & then posting the finished results, no matter how good or bad you feel your creations are!
Give the campaigns a go they're well worth it(if a bit addictive) and you gaet some good feed back which is always a good thing.

Have fun.

Paul

Welcome aboard. Post photos of your work when you get a chance.

Welcome Penny, you'll find lots of help around the forums. If in doubt ask.

WELCOME Penny! We think alike. I do this hobby, because i like it, and try to improve my skills in this area. And for me a type of salvation. Instead of getting off work and being up to NO good, I look forward to coming home and working on a project. RONNY.
