I found out about this board on one of the model car boards I post on when a link to one of the posts on your "off topic" section talked about the '50's and '60's stock cars.
I build exactly that kind of model almost exclusively now but I got my start back in the fifties with the Aurora, Monogram, and Hawk plastic aircraft kits. I've been an aviation buff ever since I figured out that those weren't noisy birds I was running out to look at go over my parents' house.
I had a family friend that was stationed on a carrier that would bring me prints and models and take me to the movies, not to mention let me ride in the back of his convertible and monopolize his girlfriends when I was 8 or 9.
I gravitated to the car kits when I was around 12 and got into the race cars a few years later when I started going to the track to see the real cars and meet the drivers.
I've done research for the diecast and plastic industry and wrote some articles for the racing press but now do a lot of photo work for my son's website and other boards I post on combing fullsize people and models.
Here's a few of my photos to show you what I do. I'm really looking forward to sharing with the members here and learning even more about one of my favorite things WW2 Warbirds.
