Hi Dave
I just came back a year ago after a good bit longer  :-)
Got anything planned to build?


You'll get a most annoying set of hoops to jump through for a number of posts, it doesn't last forever  {-)

Is that something related to when you gave up modelling?


My initial desire was a Aerokits 34" crash rescue tender. The only model I completed and back when I was 15  %%
Sold it to the model shop to fund my first motorbike.
