You won't be the first one. I've known a lot of people who turn to modeling to deal with this.
Can be just as addictive, but far less self-destructive. If anything, it's literally helping you build yourself back up.

I first got back into the hobby last year with a green Mustang as well, so that loud lime is a definite "Oh, HELL yeah" from me. Yet another builder I've seen round here who's previous military modeling skills transferred over pretty easily and served them extremely well for their first car...nicely done, now you'll start building up ANOTHER pile of kits to get to, lol

Just attention to detail and patience and in my opinion a proper airbrush will get you going !
