Hey Sarge, glad to hear there are some other old farts here. Had my 85th last Sunday. Salute. 14 BravoHey SargeWelcome to the site, from an old fart older than you.
Where do you add birthday?? 85 last Sunday.Must be the very oldest participant. ??
That you've gotta prove. There are a lot of really old farts on this board. There is a place to add your birth date. With that comes benifits such as, well, nothing really, but everyone will know how old you are.
And, welcome aboard. ALWAYS good to have newcomers. Post some of your builds so that all may see your handy work.
Great. My Dad was a Navy pilot WW2. one of my uncles flew B25's across North Africa and up through Italy to the end of the war. He taught me to fly when I was a teenager. Love those old WW2 vets.Up until recently we had WW2 vets on this forum, and some immediate post war vets as well. We had a forum member who flew missions over Germany in B-17s and one who even flew in B-36.
Welcome! When were you in SE Asia? Were you fixed wing or helicopters?My ID is one of my call signs while flying in SE Asia back in the 1960's. I was a Army Pilot.
I have been modeling WW2 Aircraft since the 1970's. Mostly 1/48 and 1/32 Allied aircraft. I have over 100 built on shelves in my garage and another 100 built back in their boxes.
I enjoy hearing young people discuss modeling as it seems to be fading out. Anyway, I am new here and finding my way. Must be the very oldest participant.
Cheers

Take your time!!Army14Bravo, You have me by four years, but I'm catching up.
Hello I don't remember 70. You will understand when you catch up with me. That is a nice collection of aircraft. Did you build those? All my built models are on shelves out in my garage covered in dust. No other modelers in family including grand and great grand kiddos. I am presently slowly working on a 1977 Matchbox 1/32 scale SBD. Practically no detail on this thing. I built one back in the '80's finished it in French markings. Did a lot of cockpit detail on that one. I think on of the grandkids took it but I have some old pics of it.Welcome aboard from a not so old fart - I'm only 70.
Pictures would be nice. Get the dust off and show your work. I know it has been a while but still. Always nice to see a guy making an effort to build a model. And please show us what you are working on now.Hello I don't remember 70. You will understand when you catch up with me. That is a nice collection of aircraft. Did you build those?
