I build models since I was 11 years old. During these years I built a bit of everything, from cars (competition and normal ones) to airplanes (civil and military), tanks and boats (military and civil).
Lately my focus has been in fighters (WWII Japanese), Formula 1 cars from the 70´s and 80´s, rally cars and battleships from 2nd WW.

Altough I have been building for some decades, I did spend some years without building at all, and most of my models were built without any research on the topic and using only brushes (the days of no internet nor ecommerce). Only in recent years I started to do research and to use air brush, pe sets and oils, so I still have a lot to learn, and that´s why I am in Scalemates, to learn.

Nowadays, since the info data is so abundant, I do a considerable amount of research on my models, so I try to make them as accurate as my limited skills permit, and I usually take a considerable amount of time building them.

My actual projects are on the list bellow:

1) Started kits:
- Ferrari 365 GTB Daytona from Italeri at 1:24.

1) On finish stage:
- Battleship IJN Fuso from Aoshima at 1/700,
