When the 90ies began and I was in my starting teenage years, one time I got a 1/72 Airfix Red Arrows Gnat a 1/48 Revell Bf109G-10 from my uncle as Christmas presents, model kits for the first time. I had no idea what to do with them. Luckily my dad built models when he was a teenager and a young man and he showed me how to build models. So I started the hobby and he restarted it after 20 years. Back then I built almost only 1/35 armour but my dad became a 1/48 aircraft modeller. Initially he intended only to do each version of the Bf109 and the Fw190 and some postwar German jets, but it turned out differently......as you have surely realized it´s only a hobby, it´s only a hobby Here´s one of my dad´s earliest models, Monogram kit 1992 edition, built in the early 90ies. Pre-internet time, no easy online ordering or research, mostly Humbrol and Revell enamel paints used, much brush painting, first steps with the airbrush, no aftermarket items.....modelling in its basic fun form.
