" Hello " from the Great Plains, U.S.A.
« on: November 26, 2013, 08:10:06 AM »
I am a 62 year old "Novice" modeler, brand new to WWI aircraft. I am using modeling as a bit of self-administered therapy, and for my own enjoyment.
I am a disabled Vietnam era veteran, and hopefully I'll be able to learn & make friends here..........

Hello olfogey and welcome to the forum community.

There's certainly never been a better  time to venture into WW1 aviation, whether it be in terms of the models and accessories available or the support from fellow modellers.

Best wishes

Nigel
