I have been building plastic models since 70’s, and started with Airfix 1/72 scale aircrafts. Those were quite cheap here in Finland and suitable for little kid like me. Then I quit for several years, and started again around year 2010.
Nowadays 1/72 scale is too small for me, so I prefer 1/48 and 1/32 in aircraft modelling, and 1/35 for armor. Mostly I build aircrafts and armor, but occasionally also ships and dioramas.
