I'm Don from North Dakota and just joined to learn a lot more on modeling WW 1 planes and different techniques. My current project is building a 1/32 bessonneau hanger. The height and width is scale but I'm only building half the length, leaving the back open to do my diorama inside the hanger. I have a Sopwith Pup to build. I am really looking forward to all of this incredible knowledge here

Thanks for the welcome!  I should add a little more on myself,  I'm 61 and retired and am just starting to build again after a few years layoff.

Don,
    Welcome to the best on-line Forum for the WWI Aircraft enthusiast, you'll find all the knowledge and support you need here. Be sure to open a Build log of some sort on your project, sounds very interesting!
Cheers,

Hi Don! Welcome Aboard! (I take it it's a Naval Pup!) I hope you find lots of inspiration and help on the site! I am really interested in your hanger, so if you could post pictures I'd be really grateful! All the Best, Marc

Welcome to the Forum. The Hanger sounds like an ambitious and very cool project. I have scale plans but have never had the nerve to even think about enlarging them and building one!
