I live in North Staffordshire in England and have been modelling for more years than I care to remember! I mainly concentrate on 1/48th WW2 and prewar Luftwaffe subjects.
I am treasurer of the IPMS Staffordshire Moorlands Model Club who regularly exhibit at shows across the Midlands and North West of England.
It's taken 2 years (on and off) to complete and my wife has learned lots of new words! The kit has been a real pain to build with lots of issues to overcome BUT I think it's been worth it ?.
