discussion Hi all

[EdStep]

Morning all, brief intro:

I'm Ed, ex-RAF engine man (91-00) worked at (8Sqn EROS) Engine repair and overhaul, (3Sqn) Jag major servicing, and onto (TPF EUTF) RB199 engine test house at Marham. Loved model building in my younger days but not touched a kit for around 30 years. Restarting again having just ordered the Kitty Hawk 1:48 scale Jaguar and have a big list of kits to get through

Hi Ed welcome to the group. I'm a big fan of Jags and the Kitty Hawk builds up nice but does put up a fight. Look forward to seeing it. My effort but still needs a RAF pilot

Ed,
a lot has happened in the last 30 years to the modelling world - new materials, new makers and a choice of subjects that is truly amazing.
There's a wide range of modellers here, and just a query will give you friendly advice & help.
Welcome to the forum!

Ed,
a warm welcome from Italy by someone who re-started after 35 years. It's a complete new world, as someone has already pointed out.
Your mentioning the RB199 brought to my memory a Varsity test I had to pass: the input data where those of an endothermic engine and at the end of my calculations the outcomes where so high I thougth I completely failed the test until the day after, when the professor told us we worked on the RB 199 data :cold-sweat:. Of course, my career went in a totally different direction, but that's life...:thinking:.
Welcome again.
Andrea
