About me

First ever model i built i think, was the Airfix 1/72 De Havilland Comet Racer moulded in red plastic. By the age of 15 i had built every aircraft, ship and armour in the Airfix catalogue. Never modelled again until my sons were at a similar stage, but then mostly assisting them. Was disappointed in the 1990s when i discovered that some Airfix kits were the same moulds i built from in the 1960s. Stopped for another 10 years until recently when after moving house found a dozen unbuilt models in the attic. Started with a spitfire then a seafire then found myself trying to acquire more and more Spitfires/Seafires of different mks. Amazed at the quality of some modern kits particularly from Eduard. Now my wife is having histrionics at the growing collection and "where do the heck are we going to put these dust gatherers"!!
