SMN ‘Meet the Team’ Questions

List of Gary’s Reviews

Modelling

What first attracted you to Scale Modelling?
A love of aviation at a very young age. Scale Modeling was a way that even as a youngster with limited budget and access to models I was able to turn my dreams into something I could hold in my hand.

How long have you been scale modelling for?
I started when I was about 10 yrs old, so close to 40 years.

Specialist area of Modelling?
Aircraft, WII and later

Preferred Scale?
1/48

What is your favourite real subject of all time (aircraft, armour or maritime)?
F/A-18 Hornet as I worked on them for 6 years during my time in the RAAF

The best thing you’ve ever built?
Whilst probably not my best model, the one I remember giving me the most satisfaction was the 1/48 Academy Su-27 Flanker.

And finally: Most memorable Modelling disaster?
Many years ago when my younger sister decided it would be fun to melt one of my models with a cigarette lighter. The model never did recover from its injuries, my sister however did.
