So as a guy returning to the hobby, what would you recommend as "gotta have's" as far as basic supplies. I already have a Model B Wren airbrush, zona saws, wire gauge drill bits, exacto blades, etc... but what are recommendations regarding new glues and finishes compared to the '60's. (Wow is THAT a loaded question!) I gotta get me some new bare metal foil...the stuff I have is antique! At 65, I know I need some magnification equipment too!! Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, D

I'm a new guy from Eastern Pa. Built models all through the '60s while simultaneously falling in love with (full-sized) Studebakers. I'm getting back into the model world because 1.) I really MISS it and 2.) I'm going to build a pink and white '56 Ford convertible for my 75 year old neighbor who talks about "my old Ford" all the time. Looking forward to see what I have been missing for 50 years!!
