Hi All, 406 Silverado kindly invited me to join this motley crew.  He has assured that there will be no bandwidth issues on this forum (joke).  So, many of you know me from other forums as I recognize many names here. For those that do not know me or know me not so well, please read further. I currently live in the Detroit area and I started modeling in the mid 1980's. My earliest memories of the hobby are of the Monogram kits such as the B-17G, A-1 Skyraider and P-47 bubbletop, the Revell 1/32 109G , P-40E and P-51B for a few--and of course the Testors Silver Plated P-51D Moonbeam Mc Swine! I build mostly military aircraft. Favorite Genres are WW2 allied and axis a/c. I love a pretty blue nosed P-51 as well as a Mottled up Messerschmitt, and when I can figure out the right cockpit color, I've been know to knock out a few Nakajimas, Mitsubishis and even a Kawanishi now and then. Korea was never my thing (unless we are talking F4U-5Ns that is). So, after WW2, I skip a few decades and then my interest lie Vietnam Era subjects and US Navy jets through the end of the Gull Grey and White era... I tend to enjoy vintage kits--Monogram, Airfix, old Revel USA -- you know, raised panel line jobs. I don't care for the complexity and high parts count of modern toolings, but I do not shun them entirely and Tamiya has occasionally shared time at my tool table... But wait, there's more! A few years ago I suddenly grew tired of painting with Olive Drabs and RLMs. I discovered pretty colors with metal flakes in them! I found that a model (other than a P-51) could be pretty and shiny! I picked up an AMT 1967 Chevy Impala SS at the LHS (mostly because of the box art, which as most know, is the most important aspect of a kit  ) and build my first car. And yesterday, I finished my 2nd car, a MPC 1970 Super Bee, which I will post a thread on later. So, that's a little about me. I look forward to interacting with you guys (and gals?) in the following days weeks and years. I hope I can add something to the discussion. Chris |

What a wonderful introduction post Chris!! I share some of your interests although rather backwards. As I build mostly automotive but am up to working on my 5th aircraft. You won’t be sorry you accepted Joe’s invitation as this is a truly wonderful place to share the hobby!! Jump right on in! Can’t wait to see what’s on your bench

A true pleasure to have you here with us Chris. You're gonna fit right in with the friendly crowd that we have here that is engaging in conversation. You'll get asked alot of questions and sometimes the conversation may stray away from the subject being posted about but it's all in the name of getting to know one another better. This is an environment where Silverado becomes Joe and cbaltrin becomes Chris kind of deal. Recent Posts and Bookmarking threads are your friends here to keep up with all that's going on. Welcome aboard brother,  |

Hi Chris! Welcome to MSC! Glad to have you aboard!
I guess you've noticed all the old familiar names on here. I've only been here for a few weeks and I feel like I've always been here. Very nice place! Still learning my way around. Looking forward to seeing your builds here.
Stay safe.
