Hello to all. This is my first time on the forum although I've been a member for about four months or so now. Although relatively new to IPMS I've been building models since 1961. I began with Monogram cars but switched to building WW2 aircraft with the Lindberg, Aurora, Airfix, Revell and Airline kits. That's pretty much what I've been building since, with an occasional foray to the solid wood Consolidated and Dyna-Model kits. I'm also the secretary of a controline club here in South Jersey. What started my serious return to plastic models and joining IPMS was a request to be the contact person for the P-47 SIG by a member of the Millville Army Air Museum who is also a modeler. I've had some great conversations with John Ratzenberger. Although I haven't had much time to peruse the website because of family committments, what i have seen is great and the help I've received has been fantastic. Anyway, hello again to all and happy modeling. Ed.
