Hello From Manitoba
« on: February 04, 2017, 11:51:08 PM »
Hi my name is Marshall and I have just began modeling 1/32 WWI aircraft. I have been modeling on and off since 1972 at the age of six and have done everything from cars to ships and everything in between. Since my reintroduction into WWI aircraft I picked up and started a WNW Albatros DV and I have a WNW Sopwith Snipe (early) on the way. I'm looking forward to learn more about this segment of the modeling world and all the new tips and techniques that go along with it.

Welcome to the Forum Marshall, you've picked the best place to learn and enjoy the WWI Sector of the Hobby. Whereabouts in Manitoba? Nice to see more Canucks here, greetings from sunny downtown Cold Lake, Alberta!
Cheers,
Lance

Welcome to the Forum Marshall. I think you have made a wise choice for your first WNW kits. The Snipe is a very well engineered kit, even for WNW, and for a British aircraft the rigging is very straight forward. No double wires  8)
