Hi all I am just getting ready to start scale modeling again I'm 44 and interested in WW2 and sci-fi and gunpla and cars and boats I'm from upstate NY and looking for a group of like-minded people to chat with and share my passion for scale models and also table top wargaming and diy diorama building
 
Welcome to SMA !
Thanks, I'm actually looking for a good WW2 USA naval ship ( USA Indianapolis or submarine) and for aircraft (either an f4u Corsair or an RAF Super marine spitfire mk II or V) for armor USA tank (I'm thinking m3 e8 Sherman or a heavy tank or tank destroyer) let me know if you have any suggestions for me

Hi and welcome to the forum. Pantherman
 
Welcome to the madness. Be sure to share your builds. Lots of good people here.
 
Awesome resource I'm thinking f4u-a -or f4u1a for the plane and uss gato sub for naval ship plane from academy and sub from hobby boss I think
Welcome back! Folks returning to the hobby after real life caused a pause is a very common thing.

Regarding the Naval aircraft theme...I built a Tamiya 1/32 Corsair earlier this year. A VERY high quality kit that I cannot over recommend. Only negative thing I'd say is that building it with wings folded gave me trouble, but the fault was probably mine not with the kit. There are a few different versions, from birdcage to late-war, I chose the -1A variant.

Here's detail of the kit, I find that looking at the instructions before buying is very helpful.
