Greetings from Akron, Ohio, USA!

Post by eclarson »

Hi all,

My name is Eric Larson, am 58 years old, and have been building models since the age of 7 or 8. I build primarily aircraft although I've been known to do a 1/48 Tamiya armor kit from time to time for a change of pace. My interest runs the range from WWI to modern jets and helicopters which as you can imagine makes for a rather large and diverse stash. :) I prefer 1/48 scale for single and medium-sized multi-engine aircraft, and 1/72 for larger ones. I've also got a good stack of 1/32 Wingnut Wings kits but have only built one so far.

I'm also a semi-regular contributor to Airfix Model World magazine with my most recent article, on the Academy 1/48 F-4B, appearing in the September issue just out today. I'll post a few photos in the appropriate section.

I look forward to being part of this forum!

Cheers,
Eric

Hey Eric,

Welcome aboard and good to see you here.

A word of warning. Eric will try to infect everyone with his Wingnuts Wings disease. He is constantly trying to convert me, but I'm not falling for it. :)

Thanks Jim!

LOL! One of these days you will succumb to the call of the Wingnut. :)

Oh, and thank you to all the others for your warm welcome.

Cheers,
