So I’m not sure what to put here, but let’s start with who I am. I’m Nik. A 37 year old dad of one, military aviator and occasional model aircraft builder. I’ve been making model aircraft kits since I was probably around 5 years old when I was introduced to the hobby by my dad who had been a model builder himself too. I left the hobby to play sports and dabble in other hobbies like Warhammer 40k as a teen and picked it up again as an Air Cadet in the UK. I had my first bit of success in modelling when I was given my first airbrush and compressor, which elevated my modelling skills to a level beyond where I’d been with the old fashioned brush and tins of Humbrol Enamel. I’ve had several models published in model aircraft magazines, but now I build entirely for fun. I specialise in 1/48 Scale Cold War aviation, but I do like to branch out into other genres and scales from time to time. Hopefully a few tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way might help others to progress their skills or even just enjoy talking nerdy hobbies together here. Nik
