Welcome to the ww1aircraftmodelsforum.
This is the new forum home for WW1 aircraft modellers wishing to discuss WW1 models and modelling with fellow enthusiasts.
This forum is a logical extension of Des Delatorre’s WW1aircraftmodels.com website and has been created to meet an often- requested wish for a dedicated discussion forum on a site solely dedicated to WW1aircraft models.
Those of you familiar with the Great War In the Air Forum will know that Des was also co-owner of that site and Moderator of the modelling boards. What is not widely known is Des and co-owner Andrew had a major policy disagreement on the future direction of the GWA site. Des pushed for growth in the modelling coverage while Andrew- who is not a modeller- was uncomfortable and preferred his vision for the GWA as a history-focussed site. It was a conflict of history vs models. It became evident the two directions were not compatible.
The fact is the GWA forum is an aviation history site and its models coverage is an afterthought rather than a primary focus. Hence the need for a web forum for WW1 modellers where models and modelling is the sole focus of the site.
So, a warm welcome to the ww1aircraftmodelsforum. This forum will be a unique site dedicated solely to WW1 model aircraft. It is a forum that has been built by a modeller for modellers, We hope this will become your new home for discussing WW1 models and your participation is encouraged.
Feel free to discuss all aspects of WW1 aircraft models and show your work.
Now, please come in, make yourself comfortable and meet new and old friends in the new forum home for the exciting world of WW1 aircraft models……….
