I am just getting back into this hobby, and can't decide what to build next- but it has to be laser cut. It's probably just a matter of pick one, but if anyone has any "I thought you should knows" I would appreciate it until my skills improve, Choices: 203 Nieuport, 204 Fokker Triplane, Messerschmitt BF-109lc.

The laser cut 400 series are so new that you have to be careful when ordering online to get the right version of the kit and there are few deals to be had. The 200 series laser cut have been around long enough that most everyone now carries them and you'll be better able to snag a good deal on eBay if desired.

Thank you all. The Mustang is on my must build list, but I need to get "unrusty" first, but then again, maybe not. So many beautiful choices, so little time.......

i would recomend the ME 109lc.

its a cool looking plane, famous, and its a great build. you will learn a lot from it. then get yourself a WWI biplane or triplane. those are a little trickier than the 400s

Having built the nieport I think you will find this plane goes together easy enough to sharpen your skils,yet challenging enough to be rewarding enough in it's results. The covering is straightforward enough in that it's not full of a bunch of compound curves so larger areas can be applied either wet or dry with good results. Have fun.
