Hello all !!!! I must say that it is awesome to be part of a group of people that have the knowledge and skills that you all have!!! i hope to excell at the skills that i do have to be at the level that you people hold!! There seems to be so many questions that pop up during a build, and having the support of the forum will make it so much more enjoyable... I have only really been modeling about a year and a half and have mostly modeled aircraft, but i have recently put together a few armor models and am really hooked!! well, the one question i do have is that i am starting a build on a dragon kit , #6233 251 AUSF. D 3 n1, does anybody have any advice on building this kit???? thank you in advance!!!

welcome aboard shannon! im afraid i dont build much armour, but your in the right place for advice, hints and tips, and a freindly atmosphere. one little bit of advice though, we love to see pics of whatever people are building, at whatever level of skill, and im sure the armour guys will help you out
happy building, phil

Welcome Shannon. Nice to see another of a growing number of Hoosiers on the site.
From Marion here.
Start a topic in the AFV catagory with specific questions and you will get almost immediate help.

Oh, another Hoosier! Welcome to Armorama! Which side of the state are you from. I'm from Muncie (actually Yorktown). We have a few other Hoosiers here as Shaun has pointed out and hopefully the others will pipe in.

Your modelling story seems exactly like mine. I started about 2 1/2 years ago doing aircraft, migrated to modern armor and am only going back to do a helicopter.

I can't give you much advice on the Dragon 3 in 1 you are working on as I haven't really done any German armor. All I can say is enjoy what I hear to be a wonderful build. We all look forward to your updates and contribution. If you need ANYTHING at all email me or send me a message.

Again, welcome to the Big-A.

Hello from another Hoosier. Here is a great review article on your kit. Not a build guide but offers great information and insight.

Most welcome to Armorama. You'll soon find everyone here is more than willing to share techniques and ideas as well as provide reference and support. Great experiences ahead. I haven't done the Dragon 251 3 in 1 kit, but if you use the "Search" in header, you'll find plenty of info ( I came up with 67 references in Armorama on that subject). Enjoy,
