The collection

mrzfxr · 05-31-2008, 03:21 AM

Well after getting rid of most of my Wooster collection before going to college, my collecting days are back. Anyways, here are some snaps of my collection. So my question, is how do I hang the PacMin 1/50? The significant other does not want it in the dining room anymore. But it is such a good conversation piece!

The PacMin 1/100's...

Cathay (CX Excitement) A340-600 & 777-300, Inflight's, Hogan's (787 & A380)

Pride and Joy - PacMin 1/50 Boeing BA 777-200

Assorted- the Starship is a Beech promotional model. PanAm 747SP is tiny, but was a fav. as a kid (Still is)-

AN225 model "handmade" in the Phillipines, not thrilled with the quality. But since no one else makes a reasonably priced AN225 model...

On the way, three Russian models (Tu104, Tu154, IL96) in 1/200. Also have an old 1/200 PanAm resin in the folks basement, boxed for quite some time.

Always good to see other collections. I have a 1/50 Airbus A340 in Virgin colours, I know what you mean about where to put them! This one sits on its chrome stand in what I call the "playroom" where all 70 or so of my collection live. It would be nice to suspend it from the ceiling but its so heavy, it was made by Space Models in the UK. I also have the 787 in house colours 1/100 and 1/100 A380s in both house colour schemes, Virgin, Qantas and Korean Air, I just love that plane! 1/100 is the smallest scale I tend to collect, Thanks for sharing your collection

The AN225 was from a company on E-Bay (E-Model airplanes). It is made in the Phillipines. Not the greatest model I've purchased. The painting is decent enought, but the wings are too thick and the engine turbines look like they were set into the engines vs. an integral part of it.

It was, however, pretty heap- here is the E-Bay link. BGP to USD should make it a good deal

I think these guys can make it w/o the Buran on it-

Ohh, 1/100's are great to collect. Now I see the value in a larger home :-)
