Hello all!
I have been a 'guest' here for a while, and I like what I see!
I am interested in all models 'odd', and that is where I have got my moniker from:-
Hopefully the pic will show, it is one of my favourite aircraft, the AD Sparrow scout from WW1. It was my first scratch build, and I loved doing it as it was so weird. It was in 1/48th, and the only aftermarket were the engine, transfers and wheels
I do vacforms (sometimes, but in the past did plenty), a few scratch builds, but love doing things somewhat left-field, and small. My favourite subject is WW1, either aircraft or ships, but do have a tank in the stash too.
I was first introduced to kit building in Aden, in 1964 (ish), when Santa gave me a Fokker Friendship. I was so impatient to get it built, I stuck it together with sellotape. I called it initiative in later life.
I look forward to posting stuff, and getting to 'know' you all.
All the best, Ray
And it's HELLO from me

Re: And it's HELLO from me
Well, a very hearty Welcome Aboard !!!
That is quite an intro, setting the bar high, and now we'll hold you to it
Being a WW1 person, I am quite fascinated by the aircraft and what you accomplished - maybe you can recreate some of the build steps, with pix, and explain your scratch-build techniques ....
