Hi everyone, I'm joining up because I'm about to get started on a new build for my brother-in-law, but it's been probably 20 years or so since I last built a model (and they were fairly sorry jobs of it, what with all the detail and attention that most 12 year olds have) and most of my recent experience is on a full-scale aircraft (an RV-7).
