Started building models last April just to see if I liked it,since then have built 11 models and building my 12th now. Building military kits planes, tanks, jeep and at present a 2 1/2 ton military cargo truck from Tamiya I like there products including paints using other products also. I didn't know the size of the industry until I started building models.
I went to my first show in Orlando FL called Modelpolozza WOW what great models on display of course I bought a couple of kits a Willys Jeep and a Bradley M2 fun builds.
And I started all this at age 71 now 72 between building models and golf here in Florida it keeps me busy.
