Hello from Athens
« on: December 01, 2013, 06:12:53 AM »
Hello everyone
my name is Nikos and I'm from Athens, Greece.
I'm modelling for a lot of years now, mainly braille scale armor models.
The last two years I also started a completely different modelling experience for me… The WWI  airplanes.
I was always fascinated by the old bi-planes (or tri-planes) with wonderful wood grain and rigging stuff but I never try to build one.
My already build list is :
1/72 Finnish splinter Fokker D.VII
1/72 Sopwith Camel
1/72 Fokker Dr I "Strip Down"
I'm currently working on 1/48 version of the "Strip Down" Fokker Dr I from Aerobase kit with lot of extras and next is the Lt. Wolf’s Albadros DV.

Thank you and I hope to learn a lot from you.

Nikos
