thanks avro.....good to be here. I've been bang'in my head trying to get an avatar on here.....then I saw the post on how to do it. if I gotta go through all that baloney to get one on here...I'll do without, thanx! I don't have a photobucket account and don't plan on gett'in one. I got enough stuff in my computer as it is! like i told you on the phone.....hobby craft isn't all that bad....I built that Fokker Dr1, and i think it came out rather good. 1:32 scale is large enough to incorporate the rigging for the flaps and struts.....hoping to find others.
