Welcome aboard! Those old Aurora kits still stir some very fond
memories in me too. However....if your thinking of getting back into
modeling after a long time out there are now MUCH better kits
available. The Aurora kits have pretty much been relegated to
'collector' status now - and with good reason! If your into 1/48 scale
try out the recent releases from 'DML/Dragon' and 'Eduard' instead of
trying to make a silk purse from a sows ear with those ancient Aurora
things!
Good luck and happy modeling!
