Hello from Birmingham Alabama
« on: June 24, 2017, 11:46:06 AM »
Hello everybody.  I can't tell you all how excited I am to have found a place with so many great people and is such a great resource.  I recently found Des's website and it really caught my attention and I had to try modelling for myself.  I just finished my first model, a 1:32 scale Fokker Dr.1 and can say I without a doubt that I am hooked.  I'm about to start my next model, a 1:32 Morane Saulnier type N.  I've always been fascinated by these old airplanes and have a particular interest in French aircrafts and being as realistic as possible.  I'm looking forward to getting to know the people on this forum and learning as much as I can to pass on the knowledge to those coming after me.

Welcome to the Forum, Phillip, and to WWI Aircraft Modelling. Learning here is not just limited to new members, the degree of knowledge available makes it of benefit to all; enjoy the experience!
    As an aside I have many fond memories of Birmingham and Alabama from my visits there on exchange flying exercises with the State ANG Unit in the early 80's; beautiful country and wonderful friendly folks!
Cheers,
Lance
