After a three decade hiatus, I have restarted the hobby to make plastic models again.  Last month I pulled an old kit off the shelf and made this old Fokker ... the Fokker DR.1.

Great to be back.  Love hearing from you all.

Welcome to the Forums Steve! Giad to have you with us.

Nice looking build Steve. If you have any questions/problems, just ask. The members here are very knowledgeable and ready to help.

That came out great!


I too have a DR1 in my stash, are those Maltese crosses decals or painted? Either way they came out beautifully.

I pretty much build whatever I like at the moment but I do have types I tend to stick to: 1870s-WW2 warships, armor and any type of military aircraft (though I haven’t done a plane in over 40 years!)

Welcome and I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Welcome back to the hobby and welcome to the forum, Steve! Nice forum handle, too, that was a great movie.
 
Is that Fokker the old Revell 1/28th scale kit?  Whichever kit it is, that's a great finish, nicely done!
 
I look forward to seeing more of your builds!
 
Best regards,
Brad

Welcome indeed!

I share a soft spot for WWI aircraft.  I agree with Brad that you are showing us a Revell kit, either the big 1/28 kit or the little one in 1/72.  The interior detail says it must be the big one?

Three decades or three months, welcome back!  I hope you find the modeling to be peaceful.
