A J Rimmer Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) I've been going through my stash of late, sorting through the 120 or so kits I have and putting what I don't want on everyone's favourite online market place, with the intent of getting it back down to a more manageable 50-odd. Whilst I've been doing this I've noticed that basically everything I want to keep, with a few exceptions, is from WWII. Which I guess makes sense as it's been one of my preferred parts of history to read about, even though I don't generally build WWII aircraft, having mainly concentrated on jets. I'm thinking that it might be nice to have an single era to concentrate on for a while. Just out of interest, what are your favourite eras - and what would you choose if you could only build from one?

modeling maniac Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I can't decide between WWII, the cold War, the Falklands and Iraq. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I don't think I have a particularly favourite era, I just like what I like. From HMS Victory, through to Buccaneers (The aircraft 🙂) For instance, I wouldn't model the Fairey Gannet as it just doesn't do it for me. I guess the majority of builds are from WWII as there is such a plethora of subjects out there. Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topcat_Ern Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 To answer the original question, I would say 1930 to 1980. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A J Rimmer Posted September 8 Author Share Posted September 8 Great responses - that is pretty much what I'd guessed. It's interesting that WWII still has such a pull as a subject, I know it is to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 G'day All, WW2 ships for me, although I want to do a few more from WW1. At the time I got interested in warships (1969) WW2 had ended less that 25 years earlier (the Falklands war is now over 42 years, by contrast) plus my father was subscribing to a series of magazines about the war. Hence my interest in it, particularly the naval side of the war, which has continued ever since. (The interest, not the war. 😁) Regards, Jeff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
