Hello all. I took the hobby up again after a 20 year break by buying a 1/48 Tamiya P-51D on a whim. What a difference between that and the $4 Monogram kits of my youth, I don't think I could have found a better kit to return with.

I have managed to drive my fiance a little nuts with my "new" hobbby, collecting a tiny stash of kits already, buying every kind of tool I run across, and constantly reading build blogs looking for new tricks and skills to learn. I stick to 1/48 WWII aircraft, concentrating mostly on US planes.

Aeroscale has been a great resource to me, I love the friendly atmosphere and there are some fabulous blogs to follow. You guys have taught me a lot. Glad to be back building again!

That's definitely a good kit to get you back in the game, welcome to the family Paul

Welcome back Paul, and welcome to the best scale modeling forum on the inter web, or for that matter in the entire universe!
Don't be shy about posting progress pics or asking questions, the folks here are awesome.

Cheers, D
