Hi all,
New modeler, or old modeler picking up the hobby once again.
I built some 1/32 Revell aircraft models in the 1970's as well as some ship and armor models. Tired of wasting time looking at meaningless stuff on the internet, I've decided that I'm going to get back to something that I really enjoy.
Times of changed in these few decades my experience revolved around Pactra enameled paints, a Badger airbrush powered by an adapter to a auto tire (I lived next door to a gas station so propellant was free) and two very good,comprehensive hobby shops that were stocked with everything I could need and some beyond my imagination.
Today, sadly there are no model shops anywhere near me in the Boston area - and like many things the hobby largely seems to have moved online. I'm okay with that, but don't particularly waiting days after I buy something.
I have just started a Hasegawa F4U Corsair, 1/48 scale and look forward to reading threads in this community, picking your brains to tips and tricks and over time contributing back as my knowledge allows.
