I live near Salzburg/Austria and since I was a boy my hobby has always been to build models. Snce I'm about 17 I'm specialized on US Navy ships and aircraft all in the same scale of 1:72. I'm doing this since quite a few years. My goal is to have one model of every type of aircraft ever flown with US Navy markings. Perhaps a rather big goal but at least I will try to accomplish this.

And believe it or not I'm still married!
Remember:
If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, overwhelm them with rivets!
Cheers to all
