Hi I’m Kevin and this is my first time of being a member of a model forum. My wife has recently purchased me a MIG 1/35 scale Russian Tanker resin model kit to help me start my modelling hobby.
I am looking forward to being a member of the forum and I’m sure there will be many questions as I progress in my new hobby.

Hello Kevin.
Welcome to the forum. Join in and have fun.

....and don't be frightened of asking questions. No matter how 'Silly' you might think them to be.

The lads on here will help all they can.

Cheers.
Ron

Welcome Kevin! We need more figure painters here, so doubly welcome. My wife has Co Durham connections - Ferryhill; miner's granddaughter.

Welcome Kevin,
there's plenty of figure painters in our 'band of brothers', so advice will be easy to come by
