KANGAR: A keen interest in military assets prompted a retired soldier and an architect to build collections of Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) airplane models as a way to encourage young people to appreciate the struggle of the heroes who safeguard the country’s security and sovereignty.

Major (Rtd) Wan Hashim Wan Ahmad, 60, said he started dabbling in the hobby when he was still schooling and it was one of the main reasons why he joined the Army in 1984.
