Hi Christian

I grew up on Indiana Jones movies so I have always had an interest in the pre
and post 2nd World War era.  But primarily I get a lot of satisfaction out of
building a model of a vehicle that exists.  Finding the images from books or the
net and building it as exact as possible with a touch of artistic licence!

But, I love helicopters and finding one from the '40s makes it all the more
interesting - they used to land the Kolibri on ships!

I've just made a very adventurers style diorama for the kolibri.  But the next
project I have in mind is to build either the Focke Wulf Fw 61 or the Focke
Achgelis Fa 223 Drache.

Easter is obviously a good time for building!  Can't imagine what the neighbours
think - I have not sorted my bricks yet!

Thanks for your comments.

Chris
