Calum Gibson

January 4, 2021 By Francis Porter

Calum’s Finished Builds


Modelling

What first attracted you to Scale Modelling?
I have always been interested in military matters, even as a child. So building replicas of the machines just seemed like a natural progression

How long have you been scale modelling for?
I returned to the hobby in my early 30s after having a family and settling down. I’ve been at it this time for about 20 years now.

Specialist area of Modelling?
No specialist but World War II Allied aircraft and Western jets from the 60s to the current day are my usual subject choices.

Preferred Scale?
1:48

What is your favourite real subject of all time (aircraft, armour or maritime)?
Can’t pick a favourite

The best thing you’ve ever built?
1:48 Tamiya F-14A Tomcat

And finally: Most memorable Modelling disaster?
Leaving my resin Andover out on the summer sun to dry and coming back later to see the wings drooping
