"Someday, I'll make a plane that flies just like a bird"

Post by TheReluctantWarrior »

Greetings to you all.

Since I have gotten back into modelling after quite a long time(started at age six) and am currently working on my first Airfix kit, I figured I'd join and learn a few things about proper scale modelling.

(The topic quote is from the 1942 film "The First Of The Few.")
