is this an expensive hobby to get into?

[101stAirbornefilms]

@potaoesNgravy Yes but it is very fun.

Good Plane. I've ONLY built the 1/48th Monogram Kit from 1977. Is there any truth about Tamiya releasing a 1/48th B-17?

[101stAirbornefilms]

I don't know about the B-17 from Tamiya, I haven't heard anything about it. The Monogram B-17 is a nice kit though.

VERY NICE "Golf" Model. I also LOVE the 1/48th B-24 & B-29 from Monogram. My favorite from them is probably the 1/72nd B-36.

[101stAirbornefilms]

I bought the B-24 but never finished it.

[DanBell47]

When funding permits, I'll pick up one at my LHS.

If I remember correctly, it was a nicely detailed model. i haven't taken it out of the closet for a while so i don't remember specific details but it has a nice interior.

I used to be an avid member of IPMS/USA, and IPMS/Orange County, Ca. That's until I discovered how you get treated, depends on how many trophies you've won, and who you're swapping spouses with.

[101stAirbornefilms]

the only reason I'm a member is to enter in the contests, I'm not part of any local group or any of that crap.

[DanBell47]

You're doing it right. Believe me, don't let those cliques talk you into ANYTHING. Once they got a hold of your mind, it's ALL downhill from there. Believe me, I know.

[101stAirbornefilms]

Thank you for telling me this, I had no idea how evil they were. by the way do you still make models?

[DanBell47]

Yes. I LOVE aircraft & ships. I haven't tried armor yet, but I'm willing to give it a shot. I'd say for every 10-15 aircraft, I'll do a ship, just to keep from becoming burned out on aircraft. As long as I have my workbench, I'm a winner.

[101stAirbornefilms]

I love making armor and dioramas mostly and sometimes some aircraft.

[DanBell47]

From what I see, you work is incredible.

[101stAirbornefilms]

did you watch some of my other videos? of the dioramas? well anyway thank you, also you said you like to build aircraft I am currently working on a P51 mustang in 1:48 scale.
