I model mainly aircraft in 1:48 and 1:32 scales, with the occasional foray into other scales and genres. My big interest is in history, particularly 20th Century history, so I model aircraft from WWI to the Cold War, with a bias towards WWII and reconnaissance. In terms of Nationality, I tend towards British, US, Czech/Slovak/Czechoslovak, and German aircraft in non-Luftwaffe (Hungarian, Romanian, etc) markings.
