Aloha y'all! I'm getting back into building model aircraft after a 25 year hiatus. I built many models as a kid, mostly armor and aircraft without any specific plan. Now, I have goals. I spent 15 years as an air traffic controller in the U.S. Air Force and plan to build most of the aircraft that I controlled.
First on my list are the F-4E from Ramstein Air Base, the OV-10 from Sembach Air Base, and the T-37 from Randolph Air Force Base. Although I wasn't a controller at Randolph, I watched them fly there every day and always thought they were beautiful. My scale-of-choice is 1/48. Other aircraft on my list include the A-10, T-38, F-111, B-1B, C-130, SR-71, TR-1, F-15, F-16, A-7D, F-117, KC-135, KC-10, B-52, C-141 and C-5A.
There's a lot of talent here, and a lot of knowledge and experience, so I hope that I'll be able to make some posts in the near future with models that are half as good as those of you who post your amazing models!!
