Scale modeller of mainly US Navy subjects eg F-14 Tomcat, F-18 Hornets which takes up a good portion of my stash but outside that I have a broad interest in jets and props in the common scales 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32. Only just getting into tanks. Built my first 1/35 M1A2 Abrams tank a few month ago, procured a couple more aswell as a Merkava, all new tool Academy kits. Really easy to build kits and you can go to town with the weathering.
I run a facebook page and a YouTube Channel called Zone 5 Aviation where I post content for both scale modelling and any aviation subject of interest.
