Hi Tim,

Actually I am not an original 'Brit'. I was born in Israel and married to my 'Mancunian' wife in the UK. We spend our time between the two countries.

I got this passion for Aviation and aircraft's models as a kid and while witnessing some the known wars that shocked the world in 1967 and 1973 as the Arab/Israeli conflict in the Middle East. As a kid in the 60's I used to spent hours building our Israeli Air-Force magazines paper models that were added free with each copy - there were about 60-70 models given those days and I built all of them (these are now re-engineered and retrofitted and are to be find in the site: http://www.papermodels.co.il

Then, a military service at the Israeli Air-Force followed and also Aeronautical Engineering Bs.C. degree of the Haifa Technion Israeli Institute of Technology.

Today, I am working in the IT (Information Technology) fields as software developer for commercial software.

As a hobby, I am making my way back to aircraft paper models building and am about to start my first new model which will be a 1:33 Spitfire from WW2.

I hope to upload pictures asap.

Best,
Sagiv

Welcome to the world of paper again. The quality of the kits improved alot since you built the old IAF models

Do post some pictures of your models. If you have pictures of the old IAF models please post the
As well. I will see if I can scan my old photos too
