I've been away from the hobby for a good few years, primarily due to health issues, but things have improved & I'll be back actually building a kit before too long.
I build in 1/32, which for us oldies is THE scale for aircraft! You youngsters can still do 1/72 & 1/48, but father time has you in his sights...
I stick to pre-1946 aircraft as subjects, which still leaves WWI, inter-war & WWII for potential kits. My stash is primarily WNW, Roden, Hasegawa, Trumpeter, Revell, Silver Wings, Tamiya, Fly, ZM & Special Hobby, with the excellent ICM offering more great value kits. AM is mostly Eduard, with Pheon decals for WWI stuff & Eagle Strike for WWII. My airbrush is H&S, I use Tamiya acrylics, and I've got far too many kits & AM to ever make a dent in, but I'm looking to thin the stash fairly soon, down to a slightly less outrageous size.
