Although handicapped by having been born and educated in the United States, I am beginning to learn the English language with the help of my fiancee, a native speaker. I began building models at the age of eight, but took
the customary break from the hobby starting in my late teens. I returned to modeling a few years ago and now build 1/72 aircraft of all eras, with a decided penchant for the unusual.
So I'm the lunatic who intends to combine a Roden B fuselage with Italeri H wings to get an He 111F. First step is to scratchbuild larger radiator housings . . . I may just be the last person in this group to finish his project.
The attached photo was taken last week, in front of the Tower of London and Tower Bridge . Seconds after the photo was shot, I was suddenly hustled away by overzealous bobbies, who claimed that I was "spoiling the view." One even mumbled something about "visual pollution," I ask you . . . .
