Be ready for a big list...
Here are some pics as I have too many to list (I have 50+ in my room)






Most of mine are either long prosper or flight miniatures (for the plastic ones) the plastic kit set ones that I made are various and my 1:400's are mainly Dragon Wings. There are a few out of the picture. You can just see the top of my Air NZ All Blacks 737-300 and the ones on the top shelf are Continental DC-10, Alitalia 742 LTU A330 Airbus Industries A300-600ST Beluga.

I figured out that I have $1,500 worth in model airplanes approx.

Also I think Zolt's one is a SkyMark considering they make their 737's in 1:130

Isn't it evident?? Boeing are my favourite aircraft.

P.S. that's is my real birthday but I wish to keep my real age secret to keep you all pondering.

Here's a few of mine. All 48th scale and manufactured by Hasegawa except for the F-4U which is Tamiya. Pretty much straight out of the box builds with photo-etch harnesses added. Corsair has a full photo-etch cockpit. I airbrush my kits with mostly Gunze and Tamiya acrylics.

Have many more kits stashed away for rainy days.

You did a pretty good job - that P40 is stunning, and I say this despite the fact I don't like 'em much!

Nice models there Finatic! I've got far too many to count, all currently in storage containers based at Classic Flyers at Tauranga airport. A fair few of them are in the display cabinets along the Western wall... Most of them are 1:72 with a few 1:48 thrown in for good measure, all from the 1938 - 1959 era thumbup1.gif

No, that's the Nakajima Ki-84 Frank.

I have built kits on and off since I was a kid. Many didn't make it... And then there's a recent incident where 12 or so that were stored in my old room at the folk's, somehow fell off the shelf and smashed into millions of pieces when a builder knocked the shelf. Oh well. LOL

Yes, I have a lot of aircraft in 1:72, fighters and figter-bombers from WWII. I collecting kits since 1975, but in the GDR kits are rare and most of soviet aircraft, like the I-15, 153, 16, all sorts of Yaks from Jak 1 to the Yak 9 and the original Sturmovik Il 2 and the Il 10...
After 1989 and the opening of the wall I was fascinated about the masses of kits now. And so it goes... now I have around 120 aircraft ready and around 60 kits, all from fighters of the WWII. The next projects are some Mitsubishi A6M-variants, all from hasegawa and some Ki 27 from various sources.
Yes, the most of my kits are from Hasegawa, Fujimi, Fine Mold and not very often from Revell. Some are from MPM, because I did not like them, but they have some aircraft, never seen from others before. Typical for this is the Curtiss Wright CW 21, an almost forgotten aircraft, that has been flown with the Royal Dutch Netherlands East Indies Air Force. Other aircraft from MPM are the Seversky P-35A and the Curtiss P-66 "Vanguard", realy rare birds to see.
Yes, I have the most of the typical aircraft like the Bf 109B-K, the Fw 190A and D variants, the "Spitfire" in some variants from Mk. I to the Mk. XVI, the Hurricane... but meanwile i have a special interest in airplanes from the pacific theater of war.

Sorry, this was double posting.

Edit:



Mitsubishi A6M2 Modell 21 Zero



Messerschmitt Bf 109T-0
Prototype for the carrier-variant. But the "Graf Zeppelin has been never completed...





Heinkel He 100D-0

Typical Propaganda, used in August 1940. In reality they never fought or wear markings of the Luftwaffe.
