Hello everyone!
This a reintroduction of sorts. I haven't really been building WW1 aircraft for the last couple of years. Barbara and I sold the big house in the trees in the Bremerton area(Wa. state) about six years ago.
We downsized to a senior mobile park in McCleary, Wash. (Google "nowhere" and you'll find McCleary!) In the model building area, I returned to the One True Hobby. Narrow Gauge Model Railroading.
Why, you say? Downsizing for me means less space and that makes for tough choices. I have my own hobby room, but it's a fraction the size of my former studio. There is simply no space for a lot of
dust collecting static models. With model railroading, your models are living and moving in their own environment. Of course, I chose to create the Southern Pacific Narrrow Gauge in 3/16 scale (Sn3) So, Everything must be scratch-built, just the way I like it. I am still interested WW1 aircraft, however. When I saw the Merit 1/24 Fokker Dr1, I had to have one. As some of you may remember, I have always had a low opinion of plastic model kits. But once in a great while, a real jewel emerges, that has real possibilities. The Merit 1/24 Fokker Dr1 is simply the best airplane kit in years. Of course, there are many areas for improvements. As a way back to WW1 modeling, I'd like to build one to share with the Forum.
Thank you All.
