Oh no.....Here we go again....
Guys we need to find him a Lohan fix.

Ah another Canuk graces us. Welcome to the madness , love the Avatar is it a 1/72 Arrow?, been looking around for one of them. Good way to keep warm out there in Winterpeg, on the computer reading over all the posts from this lot . You'll learn alot from some, other are well just Hope you have a good job cause like the other members have said already it can get very addicting and hard on the CC.

Welcome to the forum. Looks like the canuks are slowly swelling the ranks

One word of warning... Participating in this forum will drain your bank account and crowd every nook and cranny of your house.

Enjoy your stay.

Thank you all for you kind replies .

Yes this can be very addicting and heavy on ones cc. I am also into slot car racing and now have 150 slotcars plus 2 race tracks,so I know all about addicting hobbies.

Merritec - yes it's an avro arrow but not diecast or 1/72 scale. It is how ever a very large hand crafted Mahogany Model about 20 inches in length 1/28 scale.

I presently have 14 hand crafted Mahogany Models all in markings and colour schemes of the RCAF.

Hi Avro, Funny , I have just been reading about the Arrow project. Very interesting development and history to it. Anyway welcome and have fun. You now face a major challenge. How to hold on to your money. There are people here that will tempt you with all manner of too good to say no too Aircraft models. I had a small humble little collection of 1/72 planes when I joined up. Now I cannot move for the little metal monsters. Be warned they breed while you are at work. Sometimes they arrive in little cardboard boxes that are left on your doorstep by the postmen. AND BEWARE of the irate lady indoors!!
You started with the best diecast on the market imho, the Swordfish. My advice is try models from different makers and see the relative merits of each .
If you want a particular model, check out the forum for advice, it will save you buying a dud.

Welcome Avro, to a world full of advice, fun, knowledge, and irreverence. You will find after a short time that the forum is nearly as enjoyable as collecting D/C itself.

We're glad to have you. I think that you'll find this hobby to be a very fulfilling and enlightening one. I know that I have learned a great deal about military aviation since I've been involved. I think that you'll find this forum to be an oustanding resource and support group . If you ever have, any questions don't hesitate to post. There's always someone here willing to lend their opinion.
