Title: Hello from Virginia
Post by: Mark on November 23, 2013, 01:48:05 AM

I'm Mark and I live just outside Richmond, Virginia . . . in the new world  :)

I'm a long-time armor modeler but have been fascinated by WWI aircraft for quite some time. I finally bit the proverbial bullet and purchased WNW's Fokker D.VII F. I've started work on the engine and cockpit and am loving it so far . . . so much so that I just ordered Roden's 1/32 Fokker Dr.I.

I'm sure I'll inundate this board with questions as I progress and I'm sure that I will make many "historical" errors on my builds at first as my reference library is severely lacking in this area.

I'll post some in-progress photos here as I move along. Wonderful forum!

Regards,
Mark
