I got my first model at age nine (Lindberg Stinson Voyager). I have been modeling ever since. I now have a model collection that covers kits from the late fifties to the present. I just got the Tamiya Spitfire Mk. IXc.
I usually give my completed projectrs to people I know. If they want them and they will usually accept.;
Sometimes I will ask someone if they have a favorite subject and I will build it for them.
I will be retiring in a little less than three years and will devote full time to the hobby.
