Hello from Illinois
« on: February 28, 2017, 08:50:17 AM »
I discovered this site a couple weeks ago. I am reading a World War 1 history book and was searching the internet for world war 1 planes and came across this site. This site has inspired me to purchase a couple of model kits. I have purchased the Special Hobby Morane-Saulnier Type N 1/32 and the Eduard Weekend edition Roland C.II 1/48 after reading some starter suggestions on this site. I haven't built a model since I was a kid some 40 years ago so we will see how this goes. I've started the Morane-Saulnier over the weekend and am having lots of fun. I am sure this first model is going to be very rough when finished but it will be a start to learning the ropes. Thanks for the great site, keep up the good work.
Dwayne
