    Ah but Peter - anoraks get obsessed about one thing, I at least have many interests.....

    I have to say though Peter I did blow up many of my early efforts with fireworks....

    Too much hard work, blood, sweat and tears went into the later ones for that. I think, for me, what made me go beyond the boyhood standards was a real interest in the military hardware. I was and still am fascinated by it. When I was 10 years old I could discuss the different handling characteristics of the bf109E, Spitfire Mk1 and Hurricane Mk1 and fully understood the advantages of the Mustang's laminar flow wing. Don't get me onto the subject of the over-engineering of the German Tiger and Panther Tanks..... And, wow what camouflage schemes the Germans adopted! a real joy and challenge to any modeller to reproduce on tanks and aircraft.

    Yes Jan, it is indeed good to have something different and time consuming.
