Nice forum you have here.
I have recently gotten back in to model airplanes after a number of years doing other things. Ive already benefited from reading threads and reviews on this site.
I'm doing 144 exclusively, as its a close match to my N scale trains.

I have some questions and comments to post, so Ill leave it at that.

regards
Jonathan Clapp

Jonathan,
Sounds cool. I'm in 1/72 aircraft, probably like you to keep it all comparable with each other. I also do model railroading, but in HO. You're probably not searching for room for all your builds, the way I am!
Thanks for posting!

Hey Sean, thats exactly right. As much as I admire the detail and variety of the larger scales, 144 suits my situation.
MY N scale layout is a 12 inch deep shelf 11 feet long, and thats alot of trains.
I figure on adding another shelf made of plexiglass, about 12 inches above the trains, and there should be room for 20-30 planes.
