Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, January 6, 2004 4:10 PM

Hello all

I'm new here,
Let me introduce myselve a bit...
My nickname here is JG3~Thijs ( JG3 is from the online-squadron i fly for )
I live in the Netherlands, and i've been making kits for a year and a half now.
The kits i build are german ww2 airplanes, most of them revell/monogram because the Tamiya kits are to expencive for a student like me Shy [8)]

The's are some pics of the last 2 kitplanes I build.
a 1/32 BF109f4 from revell(originaly the 1/32 g4 of revell (which happens to be a F4 of III./JG3 my online squadron)

and a 1/48 Revell BF110g2/r3

What you think of those planes? Smile [:)]

PS: Happy new year all and have fun building kits this year!

Hello and welcome!

I think your models are great! I especially like the BF110-you have done an excellent job on wheathering the aircraft. Approve [^]

I've been thinking of building one myself, how did the build go? Were there any fit problems?

Really nice to see your work-I hope we see more in the future Smile [:)]

Thijs,

Great-looking aircraft!! It's hard to believe that you've only been building for just a year and a half.

What part of the Netherlands are you from? I work for a company that is based in the town of Veenendaal. I've been there a couple of times, and I really enjoyed it. You have a very beautiful country over there. The thing I liked best about The Netherlands is everyone speaks ENGLISH as a second, or third, language!!! And they speak it very well. That helped me out more than anything else.

Anyway, good luck on your future modeling endeavors, and welcome to the forum!!

Thijs,

I hate to admit it, but you're correct - it IS easier to teach you guys English than the rest of the world Dutch. I understand that learning English is mandatory in The Netherlands. The language that is mandatory to learn in the states is English. Other languages are optional, and very few students here partake in learning a new language.

Getting back to the topic, I can't wait to see your Ju-87B-2. What markings are you going to use for it? Good luck!!
