Mostly ETO WWII (German) aircraft, but getting into German armour. Also like the SU-27 Flanker. Been model making since i was 9 year old but i do not consider myself talented. It's for enjoyment. I took a decade or so break when i was in the Royal Air Force. But i'm now back making models.
Trying to learn how to make dioramas. Every day is a school day! Learning from some of the great builders on here and the forums i visit.
Starting to build armour from Normandy and Ardennes battles. For some reason those two battles interest me (Probably Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers)

Can normally be found on Scale-Models forum, Large Scale Modeller or Large Scale Planes forums.

I am a massive Fw190 fan and I'm trying to build all marks of Fw190 A/D/F/G in 1:32 scale. Very hard to find the mid-mark Fw190A kits though.
