| Hi everyone Thought I would finally get around to formally introducing myself. This is my third go around at modelling. Most of my first kits were done before I went off to college and have since met grisly fates. The second set were destroyed in Hurricane Katrina. So now that I've resettled in Tarheel country, I am on my THIRD pass at this hobby. LOL My current collection of completed kits is pretty small - about 12 planes total - mostly Italian fighters / bombers in a mix of Spanish Civil War and Italian markings, and a set of US early seaplanes. My UNCOMPLETED collection is now at over 100 kits (a fact that my wife CONSTANTLY reminds me of) and is mostly WW2 axis with a growing collection of modern era USA warplanes (EA-6 Prowler, F-4J, F-14A, F14D, F-15E, F-16 Block 50, AV-8 Harrier II+, A-10 Warthog, F-18E, F-18F, S-3B VIking, E-2C Hawkeye, F-111, A-37 DragonFly and an Ov-10 Bronco). On the workbench, I have the following: Hasegawa Fw 190 A-8 Hasegawa Me 262 A-1 Hasegawa Me 262 B-1/U-1 (x2 - one kit is an old Smer/Heller kit that is getting some Major overhaul) Italeri Hs 123 A-1 Airfix Hs 126 A-1 Revell / Lindbergh He 162 A-2 (x2) AeroPlast Bf 109 B & 109 E-1 Revell Ar 240 A-0 All in 1/72 Anyway, Just wanted to say hi.  Dwight |

| Wow, that's some "to do" list. You will feel like at home on this site. Wish you welcome to the forum and to enjoy yourself while your here. Sorry to hear about your two lost collections, though.

I tend to jump from build to build, and then paint several in sequence. Fortunately I have an entire room (around 12 x 14) that I can use for modelling. Two of the finished seaplanes are: Curtiss SOC-2 Seagull Curtiss SOC-3 Seamew I'll post some pics in a bit if i can find them. | ||
