After a lot of lurking & gathering of tips it's about time I showed my face.
I'm a born again modeller who used to make tons when I was a lad, mostly Airfix & Matchbox aircraft but also Tamiya armour as I hit my teens.
Beer, girls, football, marriage, buying houses, having kids e.t.c. put a stop to it all but about 2 years ago I thought let's make a kit.
One Airfix Beaufighter later I realised what I'd been missing for the last 25 years & since then it's been;
Airfix: Harrier, Sea King, Hurricane, Sea Fury, Me109.
Revell: Wellington, Skyraider, F-16, Sopwith camel.
I'm currently making the Airfix Britten Norman Islander & I'm going to make it the RAF Northolt Station Flight version that slowly buzzes over my house most days hunting for undesirables!
Also got a nicely expanding stash including a couple of 1/48 kits for when I feel a bit braver.
Anyway that's enough waffle from me & thanks for all the tips I've managed to glean from lurking!!

Welcome to the forum Neil! You'll find a lot of kindred 'returnees' here who'll be able to help you build that stash!

Hi Neil and to the ATF. In my experience a stash will grow faster than you can build them.
