Newbie from California
« on: November 26, 2015, 02:43:49 AM »
Hi Everyone! My name is Alan. I am from Santa Rosa, CA.
I have been dragged kicking and screaming into the unknown element which is WWI aircraft. My favs are kerosene burners. Sorry.
The last time I built WWI aircraft was as a kid. I built a few of the old 1/72 Revell kits back in the 1970s.
I now like to build in 1/48 normally. The first two kits I have in my stash are the Eduard Albatros D.III and the Roden Fokker D. VII early.

Welcome aboard Alan,
I warn you, it's addictive! Any questions just go ahead and ask, you won't find a friendlier and more helpful bunch anywhere else!

Welcome Alan!  It's s'ok, this place is good therapy for those that enjoy kerosene-powered lawn darts and hair dryers.  ;)

Welcome aboard from another Northern Californian, Alan!  I'll be at your local model show in March, so I probably meet you there.
Cheers,
Bud
