Welcome to the fold . . .

The first airplane I built was the free Fokker E.III from Fokker E-III It is available in a number of different liveries too. Built that bird about 10 times and enjoyed it each time.

Gabriel,

Welcome to the fold.

For simple but fun starter models try some of the free Fiddlersgreen models you have to look for them and one is made available when you register. Chris at Ecard models also has some very nice free download models. These are more complicated and are correct to scale. You may want to build the same model 2 of 3 times tiring to improve your skills on each build.

Always feel free to ask questions this is the friendliest forum on the net and we like to help new modelers. Have fun and show us photos of your models we love too see all kinds of models.

Jim Nunn

Hello Gabriel!
Welcome to the forum

Just take a look here at the different sections. There are a lot of things to see, building threads that are inspiring, and some tips and tricks too.

You can also look at the "articles" section (top left menu) where you'll find a couple of tutorials explaining the basics

Once you feel like building something, there are nice free models in the "download" section. Many of them are easy, a way good to start. You'll find all kind of themes (airplanes, cars, figures...) that will surely fit your interests.

Or you can go to the suggestions already mentioned. They're incredible too!

Have a great time

Ruben

Gabriel,
Currell Graphics' V-1 "Buzz Bomb" is a good first model -- and an excellent display model. Ralph Currell's instructions are very good. This one will teach you most of the basics: V-1 flying bomb
Welcome,

And, take a look at the downloads section of our own group. Just keep in mind that the designers range from inexperienced, first design stage to expert level. And don't worry about asking questions....this is a learning experience for all of us.
