I'm definitely not good!! You'll see it from my pics
Same as King Jareth I have more experience with toy soldiers, but I prefer RL planes.

And the brand choice is made mainly because I love kits with tons of parts (which make me swear a lot actually!)...

Ah well thats the fun.
after hours of cursing and fiddleing with pieces that are so small you need a microscope to see you can stand back and say "I built that".

in my childhood ive built hundreds of airfix kits we used to have a local model shop that sold hundreds you also used to be able to buy then in your local newsagents too

i got the model bug from my uncle i used to spend a lot of time with my uncle and cousin as my father was away on deployment for long periods of time and my uncle still has lots of models me and my cousin made when we were kids plus the hundreds he built himself


i can prob say i got the aircraft bug from him too as he used to take me and my cousin to lots of airshows i have very fond memories of my uncle he was like a second father figure to me and i still visit him often to catch up on things

As a kid i used to do airfix models with my dad, but always broke a few when i tried playing with them as i grew up i switched vfrom airfix to die cast collectibles... very very expensive though i have over 50 of these die cast models. My favourites being...yeah you know it, the hawker hurricane (4 of them) and the lancaster (2 of them).







Just one of the 4.
