Well, my primary interest is aircraft. Since I was 9 years old I liked aircraft, and always will.
I remember reading heaps of British airmen and the RAF, so at the very beginning I liked Spitfires, Hurricanes, Swordfish, etc. As I grew up, I also loved Argentine equipment, because my dad used to take me to every military parade. As a rifleman, cook and driver in the army, he enjoyed seeing tanks, guns, etc. I also have some other relatives who served in the armed forces either as submarine crew or marine infantry. The military stuff had been always around at home.
We also were very impressed with the Argentine pilots during the Malvinas (Falklands) conflict and at the time we used to see a lot of aircraft in the sky.
I had begun building models already and later made many friends who shared the passion for scale models and such.
Much later I discovered the German WWII military and aircraft forces and their almost unveliebable achievements so that added more books to my shelves.
I started building tanks a few years ago and enjoying a lot.
