Start Things Off

[Goose]

To start things off in this section I though I would post a short dialogue of model building experience so we can get to know everyone involved in the site and hobby.

I mostly build 1/48th aircraft and 1/400 ships.
I started 13 years ago with a 1/72 B-25A Mitchell
I've since built in 1/48th SBD Dauntless, F-6F Hellcat, F-15C, AH-64A, F-101B, F/A-18A, Learjet 24D, P-61, UH-1C, A-10A, AV-8B, F-105D, SH-2F, A-6E, F-4J, Spifire MK21, F9F-5, F-117A, F-14A, F-8E, B-29, F-14D.
In 1/72 I built
F-4, YF-22.

Currently awaiting my attention is a 1/72 alpha jet, 1/48th F-4G, F-16A
Resources are pretty slim and expensive in Trinidad. Kits typically cost 120TTD ($20 US)

I've gotten to a skill level where they come out pretty pleasing.
How about the rest of you?

Okay, here is my list. Pretty useless, but anyway:

1/24
Ferrari Testarossa - 10% built

1/48
F-16 Fighting Falcon - unbuilt
Su-25 Frogfoot - unbuilt
F-80 Shooting Star - unbuilt

1/72
AJ 37 Viggen - half-built
Tornado IDS - half painted
C-47 Skytrain - half painted
UH-1B Huey - completed
FW-190 - completed and broken
Spitfire - completed and broken

And I've ruined a whole bunch of 1/144 fighters. As you can see I was just getting started, when I gave up on the hobby. Mostly due to lack of time and dedication, and also a non-functioning airbrush.

Well, I've been building the little ones since I was a little one myself...about 35 years I guess...
I've only been serious about it for the last five or so and I'm still getting better...still not entirely pleased with the stuff I do.
I currently contribute to 2 magazines, SAMI and the new Model Aircraft Magazine.
I really couldn't tell you how many or what I've built, just too much of the stuff, but on the work bench at the moment are A P-40E and a T-38 Talon both 1/48th ( favourite scale).

Webmaster sir, you've got to get that airbrush working, it's the only way to get good reults.

Hey webmaster are you intending to complete the unbuilt or interested in selling them?

[Webmaster]

I think I'll keep them, maybe I'll get a period of sickness, unemployment or without internet somewhere in future and will get back at it. 

Why? Are you interested in buying?

Hello Guys,

I'm not really a modelling type,  but I have a lot of aircraft from the absolutely awsome crafted "Jetfighter collection", from the Metal Armour collection. They are absolutely awsome in detail, and also very detailed are the helmets you can buy with them.

But as allready said, these are not handmade.......wel, exept for the standard it is standing on....
But for me a very nice collection aircrafts for a reasonable price.

Hope you enjoy.
Best Regards.

Don't worry, the name 'Tomcatters' outdates the Tomcat. Back in 1948 VF-31 was established with the name, based on its Felix the Cat mascot. They inherited Felix from earlier squadrons.

[Viggen]

I mostly built jets in scale 1/72.

F4 Phantom
J53 Draken
JA37 Viggen
J29 Tunnan
Spitfire
A4 Corsair
F18 Hornet

And then there was three in scale 1/48.

F14/A Tomcat
F16 Falcon
JA37 Viggen (This is the only one i saved).
