Hi everyone,
My name is Steve, I am fortyhuurrrmph years old, live in Kent, England and haven't picked up a tube of poly cement in...oooh, can't be that long, blimey, well, since about 1980.
Found the Big A, and what do you know? I'm building models again. Yippee! Working on a Tamiya 1/48 Do335 right now.
Just like to say in advance a big THANK YOU to all the members of this site who take the time and trouble to write the articles that have helped me get back into the hobby, I wouldn't have attempted it without your help.

RedSteve -
Welcome back to the "fold". As you've already discovered, this is just flat out the best place to be. Everyone is more than generous and supportive to us "returnees" to the hobby. Greatest place to be for sharing experiences and for help in improving modeling skills. Enjoy,
