The Unofficial Airfix Modellers' Forum

Hi All!
My name is Alexey, and I am from Moscow, Russia

I have been "Out-of-Box" Modelling since 1997. Prefer plastic models of WWII aircraft in 1/72 scale, although sometimes make a cardboard models

P.S.: Sorry for My bad English

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.

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

Fairford Airshow UK last year!

Looks like it was a hot day. That Hurricane has already faded.

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

photo deleted.

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

:Thumbsup:

Just a little something of interest perhaps.

If you take a look at my avatar...





Same place 5 years on.

Atlantic Wall Museum, Raversijde. Ostend, Belgium.

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.

This would be myself and Mrs Dollar. Actually Greg And Rita.

Cool pic Greg. Did you go up in the Cessna?

Thought it about time I poster a recent pic of me. This is me and my better half Sarah.

All the best.

Greg

Unfortunately we didn't, we were there for an air show.
My but you and Sarah make a handsome couple.
