    New on here

    Hello New on here and am I ever glad to find you'all. I'm into model building , mostly
    WWII airplanes of all nations. My Dad was a pilot in the Luftwaffe, flying a Messerschmit Me-109
    when he was shot down. So I'm a WWII buff.
    I came over to the States when I was 9 years old, in 1948. I am now a US Army retired.
    Just a little INFO about me

    I enjoy reading the forum and will probably have a lot of questions.



    Thanks,
    Heinz

    Welcome to the forum Heinz! We may have a few questions for you since your dad was with the Luftwaffe. What unit did he serve in?
