Brendon Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Hello All, greetings from Melbourne. My name is Brendon and I have been lurking on this site quite awhile and have decided it was time to join. My main modelling interest lies with Australian Defence Force aviation, building in 1/72 scale due to space at home, but I also dabble in other subjects as well. Professionally, After a 7 yr stint in the Australian Army both Full time and a Reservist , I've spent the last 18 years in the aviation industry as an Aircraft surface refinisher. Cheers Brendon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArnoldAmbrose Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Gidday again, I grew up mainly in Esperance on the south coast. Then moved to Perth. Our first nine years of married life were in Maddington, but moved to the hills south east of Perth in late '91. You list among your interests RAN. Ships or aircraft, and have you any models of them? Regards, Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 I loved Esparance when we went on holidays down there. Its been 30 years since I was down there. I left Perth to move to Melbourne in Sep 2001. RAN FAA predominantly is what I am interested in, I am slowly collecting a few kits for the "stash". none are which have been built as yet. Fujmi TA-4G, Hasegawa S-70B-2 Seahawk, Trumpeter Sea Fury, Italeri UH-1B, Airfix Sea King, Revelle MRH-90 Tiapan I've just got Hasegawa's S-2A Tracker to be converted to a "G" this Christmas. So I have a few more to get before the Air Arm side is complete, I just wish Airfix would do a new mold of the Seasprite🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
