About me...

My name is Peter Koehler. I'm born at February, 15th, 1965 in Wiesbaden, Germany. I`m not maried and I have no children...

But I`ve two brothers and one sister...

Animals:

I love horses and german shepherds. I don`t like snakes, sharks and spiders. Unforgetten is our german shepherd "Sandy". (Died at November, 27th. 2000). She was 10 years old...

From 2001, I`ve get two new friends, named Lili and Balou (both in May 2000 born, at an interval of 14 days). But Balou is dead since 2014. He was a good guy...

Sandy (Senta) and my 1966 Mustang in 1994

Lilli (2000-2017) (Balou 2000-2014)

Balou died on September 5, 2014. We will not forget him ...

Lilli was born in May 2000 and left us forever on November 17, 2017 ...

She was 17 years and 6 month old

Hobbys:

I like old cars (Oldtimers), planes, space ships, plasticmodels and airbrush. Songs from the 50`s and 60`s, that`s what I like and the American-Nascar-Race-Series... I love the sound of bad V8 engines... and I never want miss it.

In 1978, I build my first plastic.model. I was 14 years old. The model was a Mosquito-Plane from Matchbox, scale 1:72. End of the 80`s, I`ve blow up the plane with a gun... Later, I build Cars in 1:24 / 1:25 from Monogram and AMT. Since 1997, I`ve a favor for planes, tanks and figures in scale 1:72. I like dioramas... I think, my best diorama is my "Hungarian Scouts" (Ungarischer Spähtrupp) in 1:72, because I like this diorama more, then all others. By the way, I`ve more then 3000 modelcars in 1:64...

On the computer, I play some games. Most "European Air War" and "IL-2 FB + AEP and Pazific War", but offline only... because I crash the own planes in the ground, often when I`m landing...

And I like holidays in Hungary and France...

Clubs:

From December 2001 until January 2005, I was a member of the 1. Mainzer Modellbauclub e.V. / Germany. I left the club at January, 8th, 2005.

Friends:

My best friend is Hans-Joachim Wagner from Mainz, Germany. We go sometimes to plastic-model-meetings, inside and outside Germany. We have experimented in recent years with much Resin and we own forms prepared for casting...

In 1991, I bought a 1966 Ford Mustang Hardtop Coupe. Build in San Jose, California, U.S.A. at January, 23th, 1966. Under the hood is working a 5,0L V8 (302 cu.in.) from 1968. A lot of repairs I have did byself and with help from my friends Butch and Tim (Chevrolet-People). The engine was rebuild in 1998 with a lot of new parts...

The Car is painted in "Verkehrsweiss" (White) from Mercedes and the beautyful blue letters on the hood and on both sides of the body are designed by my friend Andreas Richter...
