Hi everyone, I'm the new kid today. I'm Pete age 55 from Berkshire.
I met some members of the forum at Farnborough ipms Modelfest today and they kindly suggested me to sign up.
For me the hobby is about building old kits from my childhood, to my own standard which I constantly try to improve. The two builds I'm most proud of are the old Airfix Wellington and the A7 Corsair. In the ten or so years I've been building kits again I've made around 50.
I hope to learn more from the other modellers here and I'll hopefully be able to make some worthwhile contributions too.
All the best ,
Pete
