Greetings from Los Angeles..
« on: April 20, 2012, 08:25:38 AM »
actually about 20 miles Northwest of Los Angeles..

My Name's Dean and I recently got back into Model Building, after 20 years away from it.. it is Fun soo far and I find that i am reacquiring My skills and learning new skills as well..
I have just started with WW I Aeroplanes, and have yet to complete the first one (Eduard  "Weekend" Fokker Eindecker 1/48 scale).. I am taking my time..
actually I have decided to build a few WW2 airplanes to get my comfort level back up to snuff....(I do not want to screw up my first WW I Aeroplane..)..

I have a Gotha G.IV (Roden 1/72 scale) I really want to build, but will not attempt it for a number of months...

Anyway Thank you for allowing me to join this Group.. I know I will learn plenty here and improve my Modeling skills at a faster rate... I promise to not ask too many "newbie" questions, all at once anyhow... ;)

Take care & Thanks!!

Hi there!

Gotha isn't much bigger than a 1:72 Mosquito anyway :)

Hey Dean
                    Go ahead and build a WWI type - Fokker DrI's are good ones for cutting your teeth on.
