Hi from Down Under
Posted by ArmouredSprue on Sunday, November 8, 2015 7:33 PM

Hi everyone

It's my first post around here but I've been modelling since I was 13 (34 years ago).

I like military planes in 1/72nd especially WWII and a few modern jets. However I do some military vehicles in 1/35th mostly WWII.

I live in Adelaide South Australia and I'm part of SAPMA (our local modelling group).

Hope to contribute to this forum if I can.

 

Cheers

Paulo

Hi Paulo, Welcome! Another Aussie here, this from Canberra.

I am planning a trip to Adelaide for the comp next year. I was going to come over this year but attendance at a Kiss concert prevented me :-)

Nice work on your posted models.
