Hello from Pennsylvania!
« on: April 17, 2021, 01:14:05 AM »
My name is Scott Uehlinger, and I am a retired CIA/Navy Officer who began modeling as a child.   I returned to the hobby in 2012 and have been building quite actively.   This past year I have gotten into WW1 aircraft - previously I was intimidated by the Rigging rests, but now am quite adept at using EZ Line.    I have long read WW1 history, and have been to Rhinebeck as both a child and adult.   Not far from me is the Golden Age Aviation Museum, here in PA.    They fly a Fokker triplane (with an original Oberusal engine), a Curtiss Jenny and a Sopwith Pup, among others.    They are building a SPAD XIII replica as well.   They also have many other original aircraft of the interwar era, and is WELL worth a visit.   I do TV News, National Security commentary - youtube my name and you can find some clips.   I am a frequent poster on Britmodeller.com - and will post some of my WW1 aircraft here as well!

Welcome Scott!  You must be near me in PA, as I have been to the Golden Age Air Museum, just an hour north from my home in Lancaster.  Great place!  Sounds like they've made good progress on the collection since my visit several years ago.  Like you, I returned to the hobby about 10 years ago after a long layoff, and I also visited Rhinebeck as a kid in the late 60s, and again more recently.  Nice thing was that the next generation there hadn't changed things much.  It was like stepping back in time in more ways than one. 

I look forward to seeing some of your models posted here.  I build 1/32 WWI aircraft (plastic and paper) and 1/48 WWII aircraft, mostly.  Enjoy the forum!

Best regards,

Bob
