Hi all. Been lurking for a while, collecting a stash and supplies, and am getting back into the hobby after a decade and a half or so. Been soaking up knowledge from these pages like crazy. Wow, the internet sure changes the learning curve! Learned more in a couple days of reading here than five years of pre-internet self-teaching.
Seems like a real nice bunch here – I hope to stick around for a while. Prepping for my first WIP post: an old PM Models 1/72 Fokker D.XXI – in Finnish colors, of course. [;)]
Thanks all for the warm welcome! Hope I’m up for the 1/72 challenge I’ve set up for myself!
Hi Trabi! Great job on that DXXI and pilot! I’m going to have to take a close look at those photos. I see you built 1Lt Sarvanto’s FR-97 - “ace in a day”. Due to the decals that come with the PM kit I’m doing Nissenen’s FR-98. Mine will require some significant mods to get to the accuracy level of yours. But I’m working on it…
Wish I could read your other comments wihtout Google Translate. [:P] I’m an American with Finnish immigrant great-grandparents. Think of me as a Finn-o-phile (my wife is a Finlander too) and I spent college studying Talvisota and Continuation war. Never been able to pick up much of the language though. [:S]
Ha! You got me! [:D] Your nickname mislead me. [t$t]
If you need help with Finnish Air Force planes, please don´t hesitate to ask. I´m not expert with them, but I have several fellow modelers who are. And also I know few people from local aviation museums who can help. As you propably guessed they are modelers too.
