    Hi folks

    Just a quick intro.
    Like many I guess, coming back to modelling after a very long absence due to work, family and more work.
    Bit of background, ex military, aircraft fitter then flyer. Then!!! Office work!!
    Son has memories of me making models from his youth so thought now I've retired I need a hobby so he bought me the Airfix Sea King as I have several hours in the things. (back seat). Which reignited the spark. Haven't started it yet as I am busy assembling new kit to make a start. (Already have a Challenger 2 stacked waiting for the confidence to kick in).
    I'll be mooching about the forum initially scouring for tips for us new starters to digest. Then the stupid questions will probably be asked. I apologise in advance!!
    Once I get my feet under the table I'll probably get stuck in the forum and hopefully share my failures and successes!!
    Enough for now.
    Waspie!

                            First question. Is there a work round the upgrade in respect to having to sign up to a 'PayPal' account? Tried to Upgrade last night but every time it tried to force me to register for a PayPal account!

                            I had an extremely bad experience which involved Interpol and UK fraud agency regards PayPal!!
