Welcome visitor, You have now entered my part of Kit-FanaTic.
First let me introduce myself. My name is Remco, I live in the Netherlands and I have been modelling for some years now. I started with modelling when I was a kid.
Like most kids I did not paint my models and frequently crashed them during mock dog-fights.
At the age of 15/16 (I am not really sure) I started painting my models. You can see the results in the gallery with finished models.

Yes, my embarrassing first models are on this site as well (not that I am producing prize winning models nowadays). I think it is important to show these so novice builders can get a better understanding of the hobby. The internet is full with super models, but most of the people building these are in the hobby for quite some years. I think it is interesting to show the "evolution" of the end results. You will probably see that my modelling skills have gradually improved. To achieve better results I have read a lot of books and magazines, joined the IPMS and experimented a lot with different techniques.

The first book about modelling that I bought was "how to go plastic modelling" by Chris Ellis. This book is older then I am, the book is from 1973, I am from 1979! Still, this book radically changed my perception of modelling. I found that kits were not perfect from the box, you could convert kits and, most importantly, you should remove seems before painting a kit! I will try to arrange the gallery (semi) chronologically so you can see the evolution I was writing about earlier.

I mostly build aircraft, in different scales, although 1/72 is the dominating scale. Most of the aircraft are military, but I will build any aircraft that I think is interesting. As you will find, this often means WW II. I also like to paint warhammer type figures every now and then. And on the occasional blue moon I build something completely different (so far an armoured vehicle and a scorpion)
