Greetings from Italy. My name is Daniele I live in the north est of Italy near Venice (I'm sorry for my poor terrific English), I'm new to scale modeling, but not the hobby itself. I have been building and flying for almost 25 years, I've scratchbuild all my planes. In the past I've build sport scale projects and at the moment I'm rebuilding a damaged jodel d9 1:4 scale, including many details as I can,

At the same time I'm working on BT drawings of ?Hurry? to enlarge them to obtain ?The Last of The Many?; my shills are not at the level of the modelers of this forum , so I'm learning from all of you.

Thanks to all for sharing building an finishing techniques.

Good construction, and good flights, to all.

Regards

Daniele

Welcome Daniele. I'm glad you found us. You have come to the right place to learn scale. I recommend you start a thread and post the details of your repair of the Jodel D9 and if should should run into problems there are plenty of people who can help you.

Do not worry at all about your English. I assure you it is much better than our Italian. Again welcome to the family. Enjoy yourself.

Bum Giorno!  (hope that was not a curse!)
