Introduction

Post by andrewn »

Hello,

I'm Nick and I've been making plastic kits for 35yrs now - off and on.

I'm a complete amateur, until very recently all my models have been brush painted but just started using spray cans.

Favourite subjects are 1/72 military aircraft, generally Cold War types. Got nearly 100 in the stash - I find ebay highly addictive, but am now starting to do a little selling to try and offset the buying!

Like this site - seems a lot friendlier than certain others.

Enclosed some pics below, ranging from the Matchbox Sea Harrier that was made 25(?) yrs ago to the Airfix Eurofighter which I completed this month.

Thanks,

Nick

Welcome. Nice Shars. I like the Hawk in that scheme too.

Lovely builds - Nice to see some modern builds - The Eurofighter looks great (I have that kit on the go).
