Newbie to this family of modelers

[Andy-J]

Hi im newbie to this forum
but i did model in the past
But Alas at present i'm not building due to early stages of a form of ALS
But my task in the military was as part of a specialist unit tasked with the
Researching
Locating
Recovery
of mis/kia aircraft and crew of ww1 - ww2 with the odd coldwar accident originally Allied but also Axis on occasion and we also had deealins with the little surpises some still had on board names like tallboy and grand slam cookie
one of the former which i was a witness to its ability i was lucky to be far enough for me to survive but close enough for it to see and feel its power sadly some of our unit were to close..
I signed up as I'm hoping with treatment I'll can regain enough of the ability to model some of those planes i found
Some my say I had a hands-on history lesson of the actual models i built growing up one thing for sure I was moved and surpised by the ages
The Yougest a observer of 14 of RFC WW1
Oldest 87 RCAF WW2 he snuck in on a flight after the landings sadly the wrong flight
So to my fellow modelers i say keep on modeling
