Hi everyone,
You may know me from other forums as PhildaFish (or similar variations) but when I was creating this profile it said that plain old Phil was available so I thought I'd just grab that.
I'm a great fan of Airfix and probably build 3 or 4 Airfix kits for every 1 from other manufacturers. I build aircraft and AFVs, mainly from the WWII era but I do like the odd Cold War item. I have done other stuff, WWI biplanes, modern jets, helicopters or ships, but these are few and far between. I was a childhood model builder and then drifted away from the hobby only to return again a few years ago when I was suffering from PTSD.
I expect the main thing I'm known for is my website Scale World which started as somewhere to post my "colour charts for colour blind modellers." Although I'm not colour blind myself, I created the charts to help the surprising number of modellers who are. Now the site is more commonly known as a growing library of instructions for all those 2nd hand kits without them.
Anyway that's enough natter from me, except to say I'm glad to be here!
