Right chaps...
I've decided that sometime soon i'm going to arrange the current collection into theatres of war.... for example - Battle of Britain Brian Lane Spitfire Stanford Tuck Hurricane Ian Gleed Hurricane Douglas Bader Hurricane Willie McKnight Hurricane Bob Foster Hurricane BF 110 Bomber Command Guy Gibson Dambusters Lanc S for Sugar Lanc (RAF museum Hendon) Cyril Barton Halifax De Havilland Mosquito (Amiens raid) Pacific Theatre Corsair (x2) Mitchell Bomber Zero fighter P47 Thunderbolt Hellcat (en route via ebay) European Theatre P51 (x3) P38 Lightning Supermarine Spitfire (Johnny Johnson,D-Day stripes) Hawker Hurricane (D-Day stripes) P47 Thunderbolt ... If that makes any sense? I have pretty much every theatre covered but some more than others. I'm looking at purchasing one or two diecast a month. So Gents... they say knowledge is power, so if its not to much to ask i'd loveyour input or ideas.. What next? What planes would you have and why? or add to the collection. Many thanks. |

Seems like your P-38 might do better in the Pacific theatre, especially if you could paint it up like the planes that took part in operation vengeance. You could also do with a Bf-109E for the Battle of Britain, an FW-190 and an IL-2 for Russia, and an Me-163 Komet just because it's so totally bad assed

![]() Since all the models are diecast and already painted (thank god,since i cannot paint or make models for the life of me) i can't change liveries. The P38 comes with a buble noseand D-Day stripes, its based in England and used to lead P38 squadrons on bombing missions ![]() I could always look into the purchase of a pacific one though because thats a theatre i do need to add to ![]() As for everything else your spot on ![]() For the Russian front so far ive got - FW190 I-16 As for the Komet..... bad ass? REALLY? ![]() |

Ha! I admit that it wasn't much use as a weapon, I just love the idea of a self launching glider that gets to altitude via rocket. Tell me that aint bad assed
![]() Ok, so this one doesn't have a rocket motor. That just means job security for the tow pilot ![]() Last edited by flynlion; 11-28-2011 at 05:14 PM. |

Its been a long time since I posted something on this forum or have played IL2 on my PS3, mostly Call of Duty WAW though. Anyhow great model airplanes, I'm a fan of the Wild Cat myself, don't really like the corsair although its better so they say
![]() I wonder what scale are these planes FOZ, they look like them might be 1/32. I'm also working on a collection of my own, but nine arent as detail as yours. But that's okay I guess hence you cannot afford to put much detail and modify RC planes without taking the chance that they would look awesome and end up flying horrible ![]() Great job on the painting |
