gregdam Posted September 10, 2020 #1 Posted September 10, 2020 Glad I found this forum, I used to belong to another one but it seems to have closed. Working on the Heller plastic Victory and things are going well, just have a lot of questions because I am starting the rigging. I will start a "building log" when I have more time this weekend, eager to explore this website more, have already seen one member from the other website here. Take care everyone and be careful.
