I think I can... I think I can... I think I can...
Has anyone ever come into model building as a ''beginner'' and done quality work comperable to G-Pete's Ziroli P-38?[link]http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_8175750/anchors_8175750/mpage_1/key_pete/anchor/tm.htm#8175750[/link]
I think I can... call me nuts if you like, but that is exactly what I want and hope to do.
There's plenty of threads to cover everything I thought of and seemingly everything I didn't. Quality of detail I can do, and I would enjoy it immensely.
I have very little money, so it would take me forever to build it, giving me tons of time to think, plan, research, etc., etc., etc.
Keep in mind I don't mean overnight skills in flying it, just building it. I'll let you aces fly it for me! lol
What do you guys think? [sm=confused.gif]
Well I will tell you that you wouldn't be the first to want to start this way , from the top down as apposed to from the bottom up , Me included , I started building warbirds right out the gate , my first build was a spitfire built from a set of plans , after about a yr and half I got it to the close to being completed stage , the only advise i can give you is be very patient read and gather as much information on every step that you can learn before you proceed measure 3 times cut once , AND TAKE YOU TIME ! it is 10 times harder and the learning curve can be expensive both time and money , can it be done Of course ! would I do it again probably not , frustration can and will set in to the point of giving up , the likely hood of you succeeding are greater the more experience you have , however if you do decide to go this route then i wish you the best of luck , just remember YOU CAN'T QUIT
