    Newbie from Manchester

    Delighted to get back to this. First model kit, Matchbox bi-plane from Ringway Airport (dropping someone off) aged about 8, mid 70s. First Tamiya in Blackpool about 79. Just bought that kit again. How can such a love remain dormant for 40 years?

    It can, Dan, it really can but when it finally awakes, it's fun as it was in our childhood.

        Welcome to the forum!
        Thanks Andy! Flakvierling has been waiting in my brain somewhere, I have learnt great patience in those years

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

                    Welcome Dan. I restarted about a year ago and probably my best decision was joining this lot. Friendly, helpful with a small dose of madness. Seems to work well!!! Dive in, look forward to hearing more of your builds.
