Michael Pye
Having gone looking for an 'inside' hobby for bad-weather days when the allotment and cricket pitch were off limits, Mike turned his hand back to a childhood hobby modelling in 2019 with a simple Airfix Typhoon starter kit. From there a Lancaster bomber bought at the RAF Museum in London followed and the hobby has snowballed ever since. His wife instilled 'limit' of 15 unstarted kits in the house at any time - not realising the loophole she had left until it was far far too late!
Mike's primary focus remains upon WWII Aircraft, preferring 1:48 scale for smaller planes and 1:72 for 3-4 Engined Bomber/Transport craft.
