I'm new to the hobby and am awaiting the arrival of my first 1/35 kit. I have been in the model railroad hobby for years, 1/87 scale and decided to try something different. I'm jumping in feet first and will be building a Hobby Boss Leopard 2A6M. As I live about 40 miles South of CFB Gagetown I felt this would be a good place to start. I noticed youtube videos on how to build kits. Would this be a good place for me to start and if so are some better than others? As you can see I'm open to suggestions and tips you might like to pass along. Thank you for your attention to this.
