Hi,
after joining earlier today, I thought it might be of interest to some of you what my emphasis in modelling ist.
Well, if that is the case, here we go:
As a kid I started with the probably usual assortment of wwii items, later focusing a bit of the German Navy during that time.
After doing some cold war stuff in later years (mostly Sovjet Navy) and with the advent of the world wide web (and all the new ways to shop) I saw the need to specialize, as you cannot buy everything that is out there (as much as you might want to).
So, since then, I am concentrating on
a) 1/20 F1 race cars, with as much detailing I can afford (restrictioins beeing: Money wanting to spend on after market stuff, eye sight to use it)
... and - probably of mor interest to you ...
b) 1/72 (federal) German Navy aviation, mostly oob
built:
Sea King
Sea Lynx
Antlantic II
Starfighter
Sea Hawk
Gannet
stack:
Tornado
Do 28
Do 228
Choctaw
Mi 8
c) 1/48 German WWII with some detailing (mostly cockpit)
The emphasis is a bit on late war/Luft 46 models and other odd and interesting (my definition) aircraft
built:
Ar 234 Nightfighter
He 162D
He 178
Me 262 1a/U4
Me 163
Do 335 (2 seater anti ship)
Ba 349
Fi 103 Reichenberg
Fi 156
Ta 183
Fl 282
Spitfire
Yak 9
F4F
stack:
Bf 109 F
Bf 110
DFS 230
Ju 52
Fw 190/Ta 154 Mistel (START bragging - I actually won that for my participation in the 2012 Revell German Model building contest with a 1/144 German Navy Fletcher - END bragging)
Ta 152
Fw 190 A6
and also a whole bunch of figures, buildings, external stores, cars, tanks, guns etc in this scale to add to the planes.
Unfortunately that does not keep me from buying other things that catch my interest, although room for displaying is getting rather restricted - but I think I am not alone with this addiction ...
Thanks for reading!
