Greetings from Akron, Ohio!
« on: April 18, 2012, 06:50:09 AM »
Hi All,

Eric checking in!   I can't imagine a better place for a dedicated WWI modeling forum...thanks Des!

My modeling interests span all eras of military aviation and have ventured into WWI only within the past few years.  My usual scale preference is 1/48, with WWI represented by a decent stash of Eduard and Roden kits, but I'm also a huge fan of Wingnut Wings and have half a dozen of their kits awaiting my attention.  :)

I don't have anything from this era on my workbench at the moment but will post a couple of my completed projects (which you may have seen on other forums) just to get settled in.

I'm also a contributor to Airfix Model World magazine with recent projects being those they have asked me to do.  My first article for them, published in the May 2011 issue, was Eduard's 1/48 OEFFAG Albatros which was my third (and last) WWI build.  Picture will be posted in the Completed section.  There's at least one WWI project on the horizon for AMW but I've got a couple more modern aircraft to do first.  :)

Cheers,
Eric

Welcome aboard. Heck, on my third WWI model, I was just happy to finally get the rigging to look half way decent! I'm really looking forward to seeing that OEFFAG Albatros image.

Cheers,

Chris
