Hello All
Hey!

Im from down under (Melbourne) and I am very keen on WW2 history particulary aviation.
I enjoy model building aswell in my spare time.
Im 17 and hoping to become a historian one day.

My grandfather was in the RAAF although I never met him, I would of had a good chat to say the least

Anyway I like what I see and hope to pop my head in every so often time permitting of course.

Cheers peope
