I just want to introduce myself here. My real name is Werner, its an very old german name, it means he can good protect, defense, support, powerful hehehe, maybe thats why i had been service in german army from 1985-1993.
I am a modeler since 42 years, i was started with a fighter jet, i think a F-106 Delta Dagger from Revell, i dont know anymore, later Airfix planes, but since 20 years only tanks and vehicles in 1:35, sometimes also jetfighters in 1:48 and 1:32.

I am registered here to find new friends and more experiences

so happy modelling

Yes hello Werner what troops did you service in the army?
Don't say you are not welcome here, ofcourse you are but maybe not so many people look in this introductions section...
Looking forward to see you more on the other forums...

Just now i have started to build on your Panzerhaubitze 2000 in afghanistan...
What kind of models do you like to build most?

Willkommen!

Hi guys

thank you so much for your warmheartly welcomes greetings, finally hehehehe.
Right now i am build a german Leopard 1A5 from MENG, a realy great model kit what is easy to fitting and nice details.

The Panzerhaubitze 2000 is still in my stock too, but not from Meng but from Revell. Many modelers said that Meng is much better, maybe anytime i can build the Meng one too.

All in all i build mostly WW II from Wehrmacht and modern Bundeswehr, but sometimes jetfighters too, next time i want build a F-104 in 1:32 from Italeri in german navy dress.

have a nice day

Herzliche wilkommen Werner !
You have come to the right place ! There are many knowledgeable and helpful people here.
Do not take it the wrong way that people hate Germans because nobody welcomed you. I think Roger Johansson is right. Not many people look at the new member posts. There are so many other things to look at here that it gets a bit lost.
Please post pictures of your Widow Maker if you get a chance.
It's my favorite jet after the Horten Ho 229.
Have a good weekend, stay cool and drink a Lindener for me !

Exactly. This is an international site and we have many other German members.

Welcome to Kit Maker, Werner and if you ever want to consider making a boat or submarine, consider visiting us a KitMaker's Model Shipwrights pages.

Thank you all
my service was in a engineer bataillon called Pionierbataillon 120 in the ammunition group, i miss the army time so much.


yeah ok, i had built already a german submarine in 1:72 from Revell, a Type IX C, U-505. Hope anytime Revell will release the new U-Boat class 212A from german navy, i would build it right away.

have a nice day

Herzlich Willkommen aus Polen!

It seem that We're neighbours and we both build WWII AFV.

I'm specialy keen on Fallshchirmjagers and battle of Crete.

Happy building!
