Hi all, from North Kent
« on: May 10, 2012, 08:57:00 PM »
I've been modelling all my life, since I was a wee lad rushing to Woolworths to spend my pocket money on that new Airfix kit. Since then I've had spells of different Auto Modelling, Armour, Figure painting and of course aircraft.

Recently I was browsing E-Bay and saw an Eduard Nieuport 17 with a few minutes to go and under £5, so I bid, won it and I'm hooked, buying far too much, and building slower than ever.

I've browsed boards for long enough, so I'm going to try to join in and hope to have fun.

Welcome aboard, Ken.  I don't think you could've picked a better subject than the Ni17 to ease you into WWI modeling.  It's a wonderful kit.
Cheers,
Bud
