I have several hobbies that I have only recently started to pursue. I have loved airplanes since childhood, but I started flying as a pilot 3 years ago. I like to travel. My favorite places in the world are Asia (Thailand, Vietnam) and the USA (mainly Florida and New York). I always wanted to dive. So I have been diving for the past 7 years and have an AOWD license. I like modeling. As a child I glued several models together. I have been actively engaged in modeling for the last 7 years since 2017. I like to build aircraft and equipment from the WWI period. I live actively. I ride a bike, play squash, ski. I am happily married. We have two sons and two grandchildren. I have a lot of support in my family for building model airplanes and for flying. What more can a person affected by airplanes and flying wish for?

1/32 P-47D Thunderbolt Razorback by Trumpeter. I think the Razorback version is much nicer than the later Bubbletop. The kit is of excellent quality. In terms of price, it belongs to the cheap kits, but I was very surprised by the quality [...]
Although I mostly and like to build biplanes from the WWI era, sometimes I allow myself to fly a little elsewhere and build something completely different for a break. The TAKOM AH-64 DI Saraf kit in 1/35 scale was supposed to be just that [...]
The Caudron G.III from Copper State Models is my first model build from this manufacturer. I was very surprised by the high quality of the kit. The construction of the model itself is basically simple. The quality of the moldings is [...]
