Apropos of nothing much but what is your favourite theme for modelling?

Primarily mine is Luftwaffe (surprise surprise!) but I do have a liking for US carrier borne aircraft of the Pacific conflict as well.

Though I love the look of modern military aircraft and build an few of them here and there, I continually find myself drawn to the WWII-era.

No matter the nationality, there's a certain timelessness and class that just grabs me.

I have no fixed tendencies, but do like the modern Japanese (indigenous) planes, post WW II props and anything that looks interesting

Cheers,
tvrtko

p.s. and I noticed a tendency to buy kits that are reviewed as good models

Just because there are just so many variations... I must say that I like Luftwaffe scheme's the best...

Can I paint them? No. And that may be why I like them so much.

I also love american buff's...particularly the B-24. My grandfather was a bombardier in the pacific and that was his ship. So clearly I have a special place in my heart for them. That and I love the pin-up's...hehehehe :-)

My favorite is definetly the luftwaffe. There is just such a huge variety. My second favorite would be American WWII fighters.
