AIRFIX EE LIGHTNING

ABOUT ME

Hi and thank you for visiting the blog. I'm a 62yr old from the North West of England and I've found a new love of plastic kits after a break of over 40 years!

My main interest in this field is aviation, but I also like the odd car - mainly because I have fond memories of certain models like the Citroen DS.

When it comes to aircraft, I will build only stuff that holds a special interest to me and that's mainly military jets, although there's a lot of WWII classics that will probably appear in my stash.

I saw that it was time to move on from brush-painting and so I invested in an airbrush and compressor. It turns out that painting with the airbrush is not as difficult as I thought it was going to be, but the constant cleaning is a pain in the ass.

I'm really enjoying my return to the hobby and I find it both relaxing and challenging in equal measures. I must admit though, I find it difficult to tell my friends that I make plastic aircraft and cars for a hobby LOL. I always feel like I've got to follow it up with "And I like sex, beer and motorbikes".

Thanks again for visiting.

Tom.
