Greetings from Finland
« on: March 27, 2015, 06:35:32 AM »
Hi you all!  :)

I'm writing this from Helsinki, Finland. I've been modelling since I was kid, although I had looooong break (about 15 years) and returned to this hobby 4 years ago. I've been always interested about great war aviation, and after some WW2 and modern jet models I bought WnW S.E.5a. It was such a wonderful model to build that now I have couple more waiting in the closet  :)

Anyway, I've been following this board for a while and looking at your wonderful builds, at same time trying to learn from your techniques. This board has been a big help to me, so thanks to everybody!

I will put some photos of my S.E.5a build to completed models section ASAP

- Janne

IanB, I'm afraid you're right...  :)

Thanks to everybody for your kind words! Currently I'm building a MiG-21 for my friends son, but after that it's this madness again :) Fokker DVII or Albatros DV, now that's a question...
