About Me

Interests (continued)

 

Western Riverboats and their steam-engines, steam-engines in general, early aero piston engines.

 

I have always been fascinated by World War 1. Not just the aircraft, but the sheer tragedy of it. The absolute senselessness, death and agony of so many people, and the leaders that so brutally sacrificed them. The egos and the arrogance of power.

Nevertheless, I took a special interest in the aircraft that were used in a war for the first time. The development of aviation in general and that of war planes in particular. I even did a paper in high school, titled “The significance of military aircraft in the Great War”. I got a B+.

 

And so, I have taken up this idiotic plan to scratchbuild a Handley Page V/1500 in 1/32 scale....

 

Edit 13 June 2019:

Since Wingnut Wings is bringing out theHandley Page O/400, I put the V/1500 project on ice....
