Hello everyone,
My name is Nathan and I'm the second (or is it third) wave of the invasion from the Tornado SIG.
My first kit (my Dad did 90% of it) was the Airfix F-4 Phantom bought from a model shop on a holiday in Southport when I was around nine. By the time I was in my mid teens my bedroom ceiling was covered in model aircraft dangling precariously on threads of cotton. The Matchbox Victor had a habit of making a rapid descent on to my bed and it always seemed to happen at around 2 or 3 am.
I took a break from modelling until my early 30's, moving to London, India, Birmingham and I'm now settled in the North West near Wigan (maybe all roads do lead to Wigan Pier). At the grand oldish age of 39 and 3/4's I've been building kits for almost a decade.
I've got many many red boxes in the stash and a 1/72 Harrier GR.3 on the bench at the moment. Most of my builds are aircraft but I do make the occasional detour into cars and armour.
Now, that's enough of me rambling on, I've a Harrier to build!
