Hi all. As I'm venturing into the world of WW1 aviation following a couple of WnW gifts from Santa, thought I'd better join up and learn a few things as I'm a long time armour modeller. Here's a few of my recent builds..









I used to dabble in aircraft as a kid but left the hobby in my late teens, only returning about 8 or 9 years ago and concentrating on armour since then.
 A couple of months ago, I won a Wingnut Wings Camel kit as a prize in an IMPS comp (for a NZ Sherman - go figure!) . I did have a go at the kit but found it to be a completely different kettle of fish to my usual builds and while it didn't end up as anything great, it was certainly a great learning experience.
My wife bought me a couple of kits for xmas and I'm determined to make a real go of these, hence me making an appearance on this forum. I expect to learn lots.....

Hello Gary and welcome to the forum, thank you for posting the photos of yout tanks, they are beautiful looking models. You have come to the right place to find out information on how to build WW1 aircraft models, the forum has some very talented members and all are willing to share their knowledge, they will answer any questions you wish to ask. I'm looking forward to your participation with the forum and its members.

Hi Gary,
 Welcome to the forum. 
You won't find a better place on the planet to ask for help and guidance when it comes to WW1 aviation subjects.

Good luck with your WNW builds 

Cheers,

Welcome aboard Gary. I have several good modelling buddies who build armor subjects more then WWI aircraft and transition between the two seamlessly, I'm sure the skills evident in your models here will move to your WWI Aircraft quite nicely. Enjoy the Forum, there's all the information, encouragement, and advice you could want here, and more!
Cheers,
Lance

Welcome to the friendliest and Most Informative WW1 aircraft Forum on the Net! Like Lance said looking at your armor kits I am sure you will do well with any subject you build!

Hello Gary and be warmely welcomed! Your armour models really look great, of course I like the Tadpole most. I am very keen on seeing your steps into aviation modelling. I personally build everything from WWI that is in 1:35 or 1:32 scale (so ships are out..), planes, tanks, figures, and I love the different challenges.
Best regards
