Scale Model Aircrafts

Why don't you teach your kids how to build the models, rather than buying them already built? Maybe they'll spend less time playing video games. Not that I think that you have anything to do with the site (:-)), but I suspect anyone who starts his message with "Hi Guys", and then gives us a pitch about some site!

Is there a connection?

;-)

yeah, did you buy then ready made or build them? home built are great but pre-built will do if that's the choice.

Yep, sounds like an advert to me. Imagine that.. grins.

you something about my collection. Have

I wish I could but I still don't know how to create those kind of models. It needs a lot of hardwork and experience. Thanks for the advice :-)

I'm an aircraft collector but I'm not good enough creating my own models airplanes. So I just keep on purchasing them from different sources. :-)

You really ought to start somewhere or you never will make your own. Try starting with a simple kit or two. I started a long time ago with really simple Aurora kits but there are some snap kits out there now that are fairly accurate. Shucks, some come pre-painted. They might be a good starting point and you can obtain some paint and tools to alter the schemes to something else you might prefer. I've bought a couple of the 'Postage Stamp' planes, stripped them and re-painted one so far for a scheme I wanted more.
