MattG Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Hi all, I've been finding so much useful information on these pages in building models that I thought it was about time I sign up too! Like many on here I've returned to modelling having built many kits as a teenager. The kits are so much more detailed now than they were then and I'm hoping to do them more justice this time around! My particular area of interest is early WWII aviation and I notice a certain Battle of Britain group build coming up which I hope to join while filling a couple of gaps in my collection. I'm a data analyst by profession and have also been compiling all kinds of data from Operational Record Books so if/when I start posting builds on here I'll be sure to post some interesting historical info too. Looking forward to enjoying the community and continuing to learn lots from everyone here, you're all so talented! Matt 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 G'Day Matt, Welcome to BM from another who lives in the Bush Capital. So are you a northerner or southerner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Gidday Matt, Canberra eh? Oh well, I won't hold that against you. 😁 Seriously, Welcome aboard. I used to be into WW2 aircraft also, until I was bitten and severely infected by the Naval Bug. 🤒 Looking forward to seeing some of your models. Regards, Jeff, from SE of Perth.

DennisTheBear Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Greetings and salutations from Townsville! Nice to have you young'ns around! I also have an interest in early WWII aircraft, and those of the Pacific War (North Queensland is great for that), with side interests in 1st/2nd generation jets (ohh, shiny Sabre) and classic airliners. BM is truly a great collective with helpful, knowledgable, and informed members. Hope to see some of your builds on here.

Aha, straight to the good old Canberra North vs South rivalry!!! I'm a south-sider, grew up in Tuggeranong and now live in the Molonglo Valley.

I also really like the classic airliners and early jets - my father was an engineer on a Meteor NF11 squadron in the early sixties so they're a favourite.
