My first contact with modelling was beginning of the 1970's, when my father built a 1/72 Dornier Do-217 for me. I started building airplanes and tanks in 1/72 and 1/76. Also some ships. When I was 12 I received a Christmas present from my sister - an Italeri Pak 40 - in 1:35. Uuuh, not my scale that time. Now look at my stash and you'll know, which are my favourites now.
I was quite productive during my military service 1980-1992 in a tank batallion, building tanks and other military vehicles, which did not change anymore. My dream - building the history of tanks from WW I till today. Way to go, but "The journey is its own reward."
I am an exceptional modeller...! Not exceptional good in skills, but it is an exception, if I finish a project...
