Old car guy
« on: September 16, 2012, 11:14:06 AM »
Hi guys and gals. I am an avid modeller from the west coast of Canada, Vancoucer, who has been building race car and motorcycle models for longer than I want to remember. I bought a Wingnut Wings Sopwith Pup RNAS to build for a change of pace. I am nearing completion of the model, trying to figure out the rigging, and have become "hooked". The kit was a delight to build and looks magnificient. This is my first avayion model. I am very interested in both aircraft and automobiles from the same era. Fortunatley, there seems to be a good assortment of WW 1 era aircraft to build and I am looking forward to enjoying a new form of scale modeing.

Welcome. Nice to see someone who is interested in autos of this era as well. I find them very fascinating myself.

Welcome aboard! I think you'll find that it's hard to shake these winged wonders once you get started building them. At least I did.

Cheers,

Chris
