Are we going to need to have a 'chat' again about this blasphemy?

Hello,
Thank you all very much for the warm welcome!
I've already looked around the forum a bit and I really like it here. I've already discovered some interesting topics - and there are incredibly good model makers here!
I have to admit that I always fancy larger scales, but I'm extremely unsuitable for that. When I just think about the time and patience it takes to put together a tank track in 1/35 - in the same time frame I build a whole 1/72 model! And then I can finally paint and age again - that's probably my favorite aspect of model building at the moment.
Best regards,
Andi

Welcome Andi.
Bavaria and soldier: mountain troops?

Thank you, no, I'm not a mountain person. Too much trouble to get up there - and then you have to come back down again at some point! :smiling5:
I was Fallschirmjäger (Paratrooper / Paracadutisti ) - gravity does all the work!

Madness!! Why jump from a perfectly serviceable aircraft is beyond me!!! Pure madness!!! (Hope the pay was good!!!!)
Almost as insane as divers. If the big man had intended us to swim with the fishes we would have gills and not lungs!!!!

You have just summed up one of the major reasons why mountain-climbing would not be the hobby for me: I would look for mountains to climb that have a road, cable car, or whatever at the top that I could take back down. (The other main one is fear of heights, which would kind of be a drawback as well )

Bell UH-1D, CH-53G, Transall - our fleet wasn't exactly modern. We always sayed ourselves that it would be much safer to get out than risk a landing. :smiling5:
The pay was actually rather poor.

Welcome again Brother!

Thank you again. Steve, can I ask you what unit you were in?

Exactly my opinion.

Originally 3 Para!

I was allowed to practice with British paras a few times. I just checked, my British wings was awarded to me by 4 Para.
