Good to know more about you Peter. Your right about some aircraft needing a smaller scale, it's really cool but where would I ever put a 1/32 Lancaster at?
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Thank you, Peter! That was an interesting read. I admire your big goal to build the whole world of aviation. Please show us some pictures of your collection one day. It must be stunning even by now!
Cheers,

I see this problem by a good friend, he is building the B-17 in 1:32 real slow, not a problem with the kit only the space to store the assemled kit

I have a lot of big model in my stash in 1:72a nd they are still big in this scale, Tu114, Tu95, VC-10, BAC 1-11.....no need to have it bigger, but build the B-1B, Lancester, B-29, B-24...in 1:48 and these are big enough

Color is something special, every one has his one favorit, Gunze is perfect for US Standard, you can us it without mixing an repead it every time, for all I have to mix or have fine free hand airbrush Enamel is my favorit system and the only one I can buy near to my home and work.

Pictures of the collection, ok, will see what I can do, a friend take some as he visit me, will request for it.

Ah ha! Now I see the reasoning behind the subject choices... :hmm:

A great interview. And yes, also good to see another enamel fan. Peter, have you tried Humbrol enamels? I know that Revell are most easily found in Germany. But I would guess that it can’t be too hard to get Humbrol from the UK, where they are produced.

Have some Humbrol colors and the xtracolor for Airforce mix, they based on Humbrol but not so happy with it, longer time for drying an some problems with aging in the tin...
