I am new to the forum but have been modeling for a bit. My father got me
interested in this way back in the early 60s. He was a WWII vet who was with the
USAAF on Okinawa and Guam building air strips for bombers. My original interest
was anything I could get my hands on, AMT cars, Lindberg ships, Hawk aircraft,
Revell and Monogram ships and planes. I started around 1964 at 11 and built
into my 20s then took a break, got married and started a career. I got back into modeling
in the mid 80s early 90s and discovered Hasegawa, Tamiya, Italeri and Airfix. My main
interest in WWII aircraft is Naval aviation, primarily F4U Corsairs and IJN A6M2 fighters,
I've done a few Sakai Zeros and am finishing up now on Boyington's F4U-1 birdcage
Corsair. Seems like an interesting and enjoyable site.---John
