Hi guys! I'm a new member. I think this site is really great. I am an avid WWII modeler, usually planes and armor. I am looking forward to learning from and sharing with all of you.

I tend to gravitate towards any WWII aircraft in 1: scale. I have a gallery at hobbytalk.com in the model section.

Here is a link to my gallery:

I will post some pics here when I learn the ins and outs of this forum.

Nice. Do you use an airbrush, looks like it.

machine shop tom · 04-14-2007, 10:24 AM

Yes, I use an airbrush. This is the first batch I have used one on. The Me109 is the first model I have used a double-action airbrush on. The Avenger and Wildcat are modeled after planes that flew from my Dad's CVE.

The Spitfire was built by my 10-year old son. He hand painted the cammo.
