My main interests are 1/72 aircraft, the bigger the better, with an slant on Australian and Finnish subjects. Also have an interest in larger Military aircraft such as bombers and transports and build 1/144 Airliners and 1/72 bizjets and commuters.
I served in the Royal Australian Air Force as an Avionics Technician, loved being up and close to aircraft for 20 years. Retired from the Air Force in 2001. I still have a great interest in Military and Civil aviation.
