Hello all,
By long-time reader of the magazine, I mean since the Charter issue in 1982.
I started modeling in 1970 or so, first model built being a 1/72 A6M Zero (don't recall which kit manufacturer). Like many kids, in the early days I built whatever took my fancy, but primarily aircraft and race cars. In my 30's I drifted away from building for a long while although the interest never left. Returned to modeling about 6 years ago, although my output is far, far slower than previously! 
I now focus primarily on race cars, but still interested in jet fighters, and have been a member of the RPM Model Club (http://www.rpmmodelclub.com/).
Glad to be here!
Cameron
