Gallery		The Belgian Collection
		Already involved deeply in the hobby dad evolved towards a theme, this being the Belgian Air Force. As an IPMS member he received the quarterly published modeling magazine KIT which contained a wealth of information on our national air force, so it was only natural to start building this collection. Making diorama's became more common especially with military vehicles. Dad figured the smaller aircraft in this collection deserved a diorama too what made it not easy to take pictures of them in such a way it would give me a real life like shot. I had to do some editing on these pictures what most of the time turned out alright, but sometimes not. Eventually I will try to showcase better and better pictures. Once more I like to stress this ; Please do keep in mind these models were build during the 1970s. In those days plastic scale modeling standards weren't as high as they are today, so enjoy them as what they are: models build more than 20 years ago.
