Hello from Seattle, Washington- USA
« on: October 02, 2016, 01:31:50 PM »
Hello out there, I have been getting back into the hobby after about a 20 year lapse! (I'm 37 years old)   When I was younger I built a little bit of everything: cars, jets, tanks, battleships, WWII figures, etc.  These days I have an interest in biplanes and other WWI machinery, and just ordered my first biplane- a Roden Fokker Dr. 1, based on the helpful recommendation from this site.  I look forward to participating in the learning and exchanging of techniques and ideas from everyone on here.

Welcome to the Forum. I am looking forward to seeing your work on your Triplane! For a first build the kit is relatively straight forward. If and or when you have questions you will get all of the answers you need!
