Bit of a military enthusiast, a model kit collector, a photography nut, likes to read, like music, like movies
Yups...you got it ....Nerd...
The 1st model kits I ever owned was a pair given to me, the 1/72 airfix Fokker triplane and Fiat G.50.
My first bomber was the matchbox 1/72 B-25 ( they were really cheap), my first ship was the airfix 1/600 IronDuke (lost alot of the little parts) and my first AFV was the tamiya 1/35 Leopard 1, my 1st modern jet fighter was the revell 1/48 kit F-15. The weirdest kit I got as a kid was the revell 1/1 glow-in-the-dark human skull. The 1st figures I bought was the Tamiya 1/35 US MG team LOL
I stopped for maybe a decade after and got sucked backed into the hobby again when I bought a 1/24 Bandai Shiden and the Spaceship Yamato. Never looked back since and my wallet has not stopped crying to this day 🙂
My greatest regrets were not buying the Airfix 1/12 Bengal Lancer and the 1/12 Bentley when I has the chance ( twice for the bentley! ) and I have been kicking my own backside ever since hehe
