Hello, just a quick word, I am Mike, nearly 60 years old, and retired due to ill health. My interests are mainly WW2 Armour and Coastal Boats.  Not to the standard you folks work to, but I build for fun...my first Airfix kit..back in the 60's, the Spitfire..For those of you who built the Hudson..VX-B from 206 Squadron. my father was the wireless Operator Airgunner..It broke his heart when I joined the Army..Nice to see the younger modellers getting the encouragement and keeping the hobby going..

Mike
