Occupation: Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Instructor
Total No. of Collections: 129 Aircraft including 12 HM aircraft (some on order)
Favorite HM Models: F-4, A-10, Beaufighter, A-4, F-111 (on order)
Reasons for Collecting: I have loved aviation, especially military, ever since I was a kid. I have worked in aviation for 20 years. I initially started in plastic models but they didn’t survive my constant moving so finally I moved to diecast and have loved it ever since. I started out with 1/400 scale civil airliners as they were more readily available where I lived but now that military 1/72 is more available (thanks in part to the internet) and better detailed it is now my main interest. I enjoy the detail and accurate portrayal of the HM diecast models.
Most Expected Future Models: Would love to see HM do the Typhoon, Tornado, Rafale, Gripen, F/A-18 and F-16 along with some more Soviet aircraft like the Mig-23, Mig-25, Mig-29 and SU-27 amongst many to be done.
