Welcome, Alexey ! Yes, we do plastic, lots in 1/72 - and the occasional card model, in fact we just finished a Group Build.

We're an international forum, don't worry about "bad English", that's what Google translate is for.

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Welcome Alexey!

You'll be ok with 1/72 WWII Aircraft here - it's the preference for most of us! And don't worry about the English, it seems fine to me - most of english can't speak it very well either!!

Cheers

It was boiling, I am to believe it was a mock up hurricane, but I love it anyway. :)

You look like you were in a British rock band in the 90s.

Just a little something of interest perhaps.

If you take a look at my avatar...

A selfie from the weekend at East Kirkby, Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, Just Jane in the background from an older lancaster fuselage, not the one that they are currently refurbishing

Ready for a trim I think

Looking a bit battered and bruised! Greyer hair and Father Christmas eyebrows that make me look perpetually surprised have been added.

I did actually post a photo with me a couple or three posts back, but, I thought I might let you know "why the avatar" gets used.

Now I dont tell every one this but back when I was a young lad (in the 1960's) I was an international superhero, you see my real name is Billy Binns and there were a few comics that I used to appear in as "Billy Binns and his wonderful specs"

I appeared in "Boys World", "Eagle" & "Wham" I'm afraid I started of as a bit of a wimp, but one day I was given a new pair af spectacles and these transformed me into what I am today.

Alright it wasnt really me a couple of guys Ted Cowan and Bill Mainwaring dreamed me up and drew me. But I really am Billy Binns, which is why I use the avatar. :-D
