    Hi from Florida, USA..

    Hey guys. Ed here.. Been away from the hobby for several years and working on a few things. I cannot believe how far this hobby has advanced in terms of injection molding, kit technology and these things called 3D decals.. lol

    These kits have sure gotten pricey, but the level of detail is incredible. Seem like a fun time to be in the hobby! I do miss the brick and mortar stores that have all closed down in my area. Not a single store where I live and we had great ones years ago.

    Anyway, I like modern post war jets, US Navy, Airforce.. Russian... Working on a Revell F-15E right now that I just more than likely ruined gloss coating. lol...

    Anyway pleased to be on this site, thanks for letting me join!

    -ED

                Welcome Ed. Yes I think so. Some parts are open to non subscribers....best £10 I've spent on the hobby though..... Plus it means no having to put up with ads like some sites.

                    Spent a couple of months in Florida, a small place, Stuart, near Ft Lauderdale!! Had a great time. 96 degrees at 6pm in March, just unbelievable.

                      There is an yearly subscription of GBP10 (about 12 freedom tokens). This will give you full access to the whole site and you'll be able to start threads, post photos and all the normal forum things.
                      I hope this does not scare you off and lookforward to seeing your work.

                            Welcome Ed, looking forward to your future builds, That F-15E sounds nice...there's something about an Eagle that just sticks with you once you've seen one..

                              Hi Ed and welcome
                              Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
