Hello from Christchurch in New Zealand

Post by Hornbyflyboy »

Hi everybody. Have just registered here after lurking over the last week or so.

Have been modelling off and on since I was seven (some 38 years ago now). Due to a series devastating earthquakes here over a two year period since September 2010 I am only just getting back into it now (had to wait for house repairs and had everything in storage- most of it still there). But things are good now. Main areas of interest are 1/48 Naval aircraft, british jets, anything RNZAF and whatever takes my fancy at the time.

Hope to maybe learn a thing or two here and maybe offer the odd gem myself.

So I guess I will be seeing you all around.

Cheers,
Sean
Christchurch, NZ

Thanks for the early welcomes guys. Greatly appreciated.

Hope to start throwing up build pics of a 1/48 Harvard build based on the Italeri T-6G Texan soon. Intention is to have her done in a mid 1960s Silver and dayglo Fire Orange RNZAF training scheme. Just picked her up from storage early today.

Cheers,
Sean.

Better late than never to say greetings from the sunny north :-)
Always good to have another kiwi on an international forum.
