Another Newbie from the USA

Howdy y'all!
I'm a retired USAF pilot. Flew F-111s, instructed in T-37s and T-38s. After retiring from the USAF I worked at the local airport until I had to take a disability retirement due to bad back. Along the way I've flown R/C aircraft, played around with R/C cars, and when 21st Century Toys came out with their 1/6th scale Stuart I was into customizing GI Joes and their "cousins" so I had to get the tank. Then 21st brought out their R/C Stuart so I got one of those, too. Eventually I found out about the 1/16th scale tanks and I bought an M-41 and a Panzer III. Now I have one of the new 4x4 military trucks on order from Gear Best ("processing"). I'll probably add a M-4 to the collection pretty soon.
Good to be here!

Instead of going to the doctor's with this bug (modelling), folk bring it here for treatment. 
Once you have the M4, be prepared for an inward rush of competing potential 1/16 armour purchases 
My brother lives in Sandwich, Mass., and his wife's brother-in-law used to have fun servicing Air national Guard F16s. I was all ears on a visit there back in 1994... as planes were my first love as a boy..
Enjoy. Remember feel free to ask questions and submit photos of your armor. Great group to share your hobby with
