Title: Hi from St. Paul Minnesota and Berkeley CA
Post by: ebergerud on April 17, 2013, 09:52:00 AM
I've only done one proper biplane but have an Academy 1/32 Nieuport and a WNW Pfalz in the stash. I would have more but I do a ship/plane/tank cycle and get my rigging fun doing ships. But we'll get one biplane done this year I think and when I get over my fear of short run Eastern European kits (based on experience in my case) I'll try to track down a Morane Saulnier N.

For the rest of it I teach and write military history - WWII and Vietnam. I'm a member of the Great War Society. Am looking forward to the 100th anniversery - hoping it will keep the market strong for WNW and others doing 1/32 in styrene.

Welcome aboard! I like to build in cycles too, as it keep me fresh and motivated. I'm no ship modeller by any stretch of the imagination, but one of these days I'm going to tackle that 1:72 Matchbox HMCS Snowberry kit that's taking up so much space in my workshop.

Cheers,

Chris

Great to see you here, Eric!  I truly enjoyed reading "Fire In The Sky" and learned much that I didn't know before, especially the missions and activities of the USAAC in the SWPA.  What a fantastic read!
