Hi All
Hello, I am about to enter into the world of all things (military aircraft) plastic after 35 years!!!! Having seen the amazing work on here for the last six months, the plunge has well and truly been taken!
I have been steadily building up the various tools and equipment needed to practice the black art and have the following in the stash;
Revell 1/72 T1 Red Arrow Hawk
Revell 1/72 Harrier GR7
Airfix 1/72 Gloster Meteor MkIII the very old boxing, early 70s methinks
Airfix 1/72 Buccaneer S2B, the Operation Granby one
and Finally
revell 1/32 Eurofighter Typhoon (single seater) this is what started it with SHMBO and my Daughter buying this monster on my birthday, without any paints, glues etc.
What I wanted to know is what to start with...obviously not the Typhoon! its a pig of a build as I understand.
All suggestions welcome
Thanks

Re: Hi All
Hello and
to the forum.
If you want a gentle start build, I'd go for the Hawk (don't forget to post your progress).
Just my opinion, most important thing is to enjoy yourself.

Re: Hi All
Thanks for the welcome guys, the general consensus is that I should build the Hawk, so be it! I will make a start this weekend and attempt to show my ham-fisted efforts. Don't expect anything accurate as it will be OOB with the nearest colours (acrylics and paint brush) I can find in the box under the bed.
