Hi,

Just found some of my old model kits in the attic from when I was a kid, now 31 so decided to build them, been to my local model shop(still there amazingly), & bought paints & stuff & cracking on with it, currently on leave after a tour in iraq (I'm in the british army) so plenty of time on my hands for the next six weeks or so, building revells be-6 madge right now(also got a question for you guys in the aircraft forum). some of the models on this forum are of a pretty high standard so I don't think I'll post any photos of mine for a few builds yet. anyway hope to hear from everyone & happy modelling.

Here, in Canada, It's EME or GEM in french. I'm still working in it.

Here's a history of the Canadian branch

It used to be called RCEME, but we changed name many times.

It's interesting to notice the small differences between our badge.

Welcome to you fellow modeler and maintainer!
