Greetings fellow modelers,
Wow, what an impressive web site. Many thanks armorama for this fantastic site.
It has been many years (20+) since I built a scale model and most of them were cars and tractor-trailers but I have always been fascinated with/by military hardware. I am certainly impressed with the detail in some of the kits that are available today.
I have chosen Dragons SS-1c "SCUD-B" w/MAZ-543TEL to enter into this new era of model building. I am sure that this kit will test my capabilities.
Regards,
SCUDHunter

:-) Thanks for a warm welcome.
Oh by the way I am also working on Revells 1:32 scale F-15 D/E but I didn't mention it earier because I thought this was a armor only site. My mouth is also watering for the Tamiya F-15 Strike Eagle "bunker buster" -- now that is one impressive kit.
Regards,
SCUD Hunter

Welcome Scudhunter! There have been quite a few new aeroplane builders started here recently! I may need to start building some anti-aircraft batteries soon!

Scud Hunter, welcome to Armorama. Yes, we do more than just armor here so please share your aviation work as well. Glad to have you here.

Yep thats what I thought when I first bumped into this sight, There are deffinately more armour guys here. You only need to look at the number of topics and replies, on the Armour board. However everything is represented here and everyone is encouraging. We have several aircraft group builds in progress and a campaign starting up soon on the aircraft board. So why not join in, I've found it's a great way to get the modelling juices flowing.
If it's at all possible it would be great to see some pictures of your F15. I used to build 1/72 modern but I now do 1/48 WWII. Those modern 1/32 jets are impressive :-)

Hi Scudman. I stopped modeling for almost 20 years as well, before I picked up again.
Nice to have you with us.
