Aviation art came into my life from very far away in time, as airplanes did. I have fond memories of my dad making incredibly nice models; at that time he was already on those wonders like Airfix 1/24s.

Like many other youngsters of my age, I soon became a modeller myself, meeting with school mates and going together buying new model kits in the local small shop.

I subscribed to some dedicated magazines and there I discovered about the aviation art world.
