That are of the same caliber as AF's car modeling board?

AF unfortunately isn't much help in the aviation area (but teh best in automotive :smokin: ), even though they're both plastic different techniques for painting+assembly are used.

If you know any sites - let me know.

Try the Fine Scale Modeler magazine's forums: A bunch of armor/plane guys there.

Great!

Thanks for the help guys - some awesome stuff on those pages.

One thing I want to get into is weathering, stuff you'd see on a plane that's been flying around for a bit, like exhaust, dirt, paint flaking, bullet holes (WW2 stuff), etc. Need alot of help with that kinda stuff though.
