From my cavern..

Post by Morlock »

Hi All,

I joined a little while ago. I have built models off and on since I was a kid, I started on bagged Revell kits and Hasegawa as that is what the local toy stores stocked. I mostly do 1/72 aircraft of different eras and sometimes enjoy making up my own colour schemes/versions/users etc. I tend to upset some modelers because I favour the desk top model style where the canopies are painted a solid colour and I have not been too concerned with accuracy for quite some time.

I also play guitar. Never know what to say in these things.

I have one question, is there a spot on this forum for requesting parts/decals from other members?

N'owt wrong with painted canopies! One of our esteemed but sadly no longer with us members was a great advocate of this technique 👍
Welcome to the forum 😄
Best wishes

Welcome Aboard !!
And I have adopted the painted canopy look also, for the few that I actually build, so you are not among strangers.

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.
