Hello everyone - a getting older, young retiree here taking up modelling, and hopefully doing it better than in my youf !!
Interesting story about me getting going again - we visited RAF coningsby down the road a bit, and saw the typhoons, and the BBMF all sitting innocently on the concrete. The typhoons fly over us all the time, so it was nice to see them taking off and landing - and then I got home, saw a metal corgi 1:72 typhoon "for spares and repair" on ebay really cheap, so bought that, and started hand painting it in the RAF BoB colours - then needed decals, for that, then bought another one and started painting that in Blackjack colours, then bought 3 or 4 revell and airfix typhoon kits and then needed an airbrush etc etc. Three compressors later in one week (2 returned to Amazon) and here I am hooked, and getting poorer rapidly.
