Howdy Miss charlotte,

Well, to be honest, alot of this stuff concerning models, aircraft etc, comes from having looked it all up before at one time or another.
Plus, I keep a favorite links list that has info on most anything to do with aircraft, plastic models, cardmodels, tips and techniques etc.
So its really nothing for me to see a "need" and be able to open my favorites and go either straight to it or go someplace that is close or will put me close to what i am looking for.
I only use google for searches and after you use them awhile you discover you can ask for one thing, but with the addition or removal of one word, you can get even more results. I have learned to be specific in what i search for in google....and, when being too specific doesnt get the results i want, i get less specific, or add a word you know is contained in what you are searching for.

One recent instance was the Gloster gladiator thread, instead of just searching for "gloster gladiator", i instead searched for "Gloster gladiator Malta" since i knew that the model in question fought there. This gave me results i wouldnt get with the first search. Then by right clicking on any photos i see, and choosing properties, i am able to gather more info, maybe a name contained in the link or file name, then i can search that name in conjunction with my original search for even more results.

The internet is exactly what it says, a "net', links that are all interconnected, if you follow one, it leads to another and then more, and those lead to more and more. Its all a matter of how far you want to follow and what "turns/decisions" you make along the way that determines where you will end up.

But when the "ride" is over dont be suprised if you happen to come to this link:

Have a good day all,
