Toryu Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 A few weeks ago I joined Britmodeller, and as I have already participated in some discussions it seems like a good time to introduce myself. I started my airplane modelling journey around 1965 with 1/100 scale Faller kits (Faller is well known for model train accessories) and - while I tested nearly everything (ships, jets, tanks, motorcycles) - I advanced to 1/72 Revell and Airfix and lingered a couple of years at 1/32 until I settled with 1/48 in the late seventies. Early-on I became fond of Japanese aircraft of WWII, probably because they looked very exotic in Revell's dramatic box art and excited my imagination. Since then I have continuously expanded my knowledge of Pacific War aviation. Other special interest areas are the colourful fighters of the golden era and of the US Eighth Air Force in Europe. I have now built P-51s of 13 Fighter Groups (just the 20th FG is missing) but as this collection spans across nearly 40 years many of them cannot compete with my latest additions. Therefore I enjoy upgrading my earlier models whenever there are synergies with a current project. I will soon present my first exhibit here which will be my latest build. I just need a few more days to take the pictures. I'm looking forward to an enjoyable exchange with everybody on Britmodeller. Cheers, Michael 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Hello Michael ... to the Britmodeller from the USA. Im a WW2/Cold-war Aircraft builder. For years it was 1/48th, switching to 1/72 currently because of storage space ( the lack of storage). Im looking forward to seeing your work.

dogsbody Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hello from Western Canada. Your story sounds a lot like mine, except I stayed with 1/72 scale. I have not completed any kits in over 30 years but I am now slowly working on an Airfix Hawker Hurricane, with the intention of completing it.
