Just wanted to say hello to this site, as I have seen some amazing talent over the past few months. Getting back into the hobby since a 20 yr hiatus. Hopefully no one will be bother by any new technique questions I have. And with that, I'm looking to do my first ever full PE detailed kit and I'm wondering what everyone's opinion on your best experience with a retailer where I can actually get everything together.I'm hoping that it's not the norm to buy a it and then piece it together with aftermarket parts through several vendors. Thank you for any help and hopefully I'll have something looking good here shortly.

Hi Mike!

Welcome to the forums. There are lots of retreads like us, and lots of moellers with lots of skills they're willing to share. Looking forward to seeing some of your build blogs.

Sounds good, Mike. I hope to see your work soon. Ask away with any questions!
Sorry I don't buy PE normally, so I don't have a vendor to suggest, but I hope my response here bumps your question to the top of the forums again and someone else sees it.
Cheers!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I am debating even using PE myself and I'm curious if it really makes a difference. And of course now I have this new invention called The Internet lol so there's so much more available than 1993, right at my finger tips. If it wasn't sold at my local HobbyWorks, than I didn't know what it was. I do have a few pics of my first build after 2 decades. I never was one for historical accuracy and don't forget ind that my 11 y.o. already broke the hatch off. I assume this is the best place to post them?

Thanks again guys,
Mike
