My name is Gerald Jonker, I am also a member of the ATF and Tornado SIG forums under the nickname Flying Dutchman. On the ATF forum I met my best friend Andy Hardwick (Buzz973). Andy is already several times been with me on a visit to Holland, and knows how full my attic is with aircraft (most of Airfix).
My first Airfix kit I built in 1973, this was the (02023-9) Grumman Hellcat, Thereafter, many kits followed. In all the years I've become a big fan of Airfix
In 2006, I became ill (neurological disorder) and from that moment is modeling therapy for me. I'm building an average of 3 hours per day, and all models I paint still with a brush. My preference goes to build airplanes, but I also build naval ships. Highlight of my hobby is I also since two years built show models for the Dutch Airfix Importer (Lucky it is located in my hometown).
Soon I will post my first models here.
Greetz, Gerald
