over day Im an accountant, but over night I turn into a car enthusiast and a re-started modeller 😄

I started my adventure with models waaaaaaay back in the late 90's but these were mostly airliners and military planes I biult with my dad's help. Not much is left from that era but I remember having a KC-10 extender with Tornado and of course the almighty SR-71 in 1:72. Cant find them but I remember I had my days as a novice pyrotechnic simulating air catastrophes so my guess is they both went to scaled model heaven already.

Now since covid came in, to avoid going bonkers all the time at home, I decided its time for a come-back to this great hobby. This time though the focus is on cars, I like 80's-2000's period european cars, 70-90 japanese classics and have a thing for Mercedes and Lamborghini 🙂

I like endlessly browsing stock on places like 1999.co.jp etc. and add to evergrowing to-buy-list 😄 but also checking ebay for older kits or these poor Bburago models, saving some from being forgotten and junked 🙂

My next thing will be finding all the goodies I have at home and photo-cataloging them over here!
