I haven't built a model since I was a teenager so the Chow Hound is what I picked to start with again.

Hi David,
A lot of us went for years without building models only to come back. My gap was 1985-2014-ish on either end. So, welcome back! I'll be looking forward to watching your build.

Welcome again, David.

I'm glad to see you figured out how the blog works.

I'm excited to see another Chow Hound coming along.

I'll be following you closely.

Cheers,

Can't have too many B-17's! Looking forward to another build. And that is a pretty good kit even after 40 plus years of production. You will find some fit issues with the nacelles but dry fit, dry fit, dry fit and you can get good results. Have fun and don't get discouraged when the bad days happen ('cause they will!). You will get a lot of encouragement from the fine folks here.

Welcome to the forum David. I will follow your B17 build; it is always nice to have another returning modeler in our ranks.
