Occupation: Thalys (TGV) highspeed trainengineer

Total No. of Collections: 500+, mainly 1:500 airliners and around 160 1:72 models of which 62 are from Hobby Master.

Favorite HM Models: F-105, A-1, Harrier and undoubtedly many future models.

Reasons for Collecting: I made kits in my youth untill my early twenties when time became the main issue not to build them any longer. I even made it as a IPMS national champion in '75 but that's old glory. Hobby Master models are more than an adequate substitute for my model needs.

Most Expected Future Models: Grumman Tracker, North American T-28, Grumman F9F-8/-9 Cougar, Grumman F11F Tiger, McDonnell F3H Demon, North American FJ-2/3/4 Fury, Douglas F4D Skyray, Douglas AD-5/A1E Skyraider, Republic F84F Thunderstreak/-flash, Northrop F-89 Scorpion, Lockheed F-94 Starfire, McDonnell F-101 Voodoo, all in 1:72 scale. Those wishes tell's also someting about my age, models from the early fifties to the present have my interest.
