This was to be the end of adding to the collection until I sorted out my sons house purchase and took occupancy in the man cave....but I've seen this Chinook from Afghanistan and started bidding for it :DL

http://www.tricatus.co.uk/CorgiAA_pages_01/AA34210.html

[Jimbuna]

Lost the bid on the Afghanistan Chinook so I purchased the Beirut example instead (slightly rarer because only 1200 were made unlike the 1500 of the Afghanistan Chinook).

AA34212 Chinook HC.1B ZA705/EZ, No, 18 Sqn., Beirut...83/1200

Comes with two sets of rotor blades for inflight and landed positions but I haven't fitted them...I'll wait until she goes on display.

Very nice!

[Herr-Berbunch]

The looks good Jim, nice that you get straight and droopy blades.

My only gripe would be that the plough/big dipper stars (from Ursa Major) are 7 sqn's badge, not 18 - they have a red Pegasus.

[Jimbuna]

Very nice!

Cheers mate.

Hmm....I'll look that one up...ta for the heads up.

Might have to send back for a refund?:03:

[Jimbuna]

A quick Google search and it looks like someone at Corgi didn't research thoroughly enough :-?

[Oberon]

Other than that though she is a cracking bird. :yeah:

Oh yeah, she's a 'keeper'...I'm simply wondering how many other purchasers have noticed :DL

Back from work and had a 'proper' look......

The website states '18 Sqn' (bottom of page)

http://www.tricatus.co.uk/CorgiAA_pages/chinook.htm

The box states '7 Sqn' (thankfully) :DL

[Herr-Berbunch]

All is well in the world of Jim's diecast then. Good, I'm glad it's a keeper.

What's next then Jim?

I think you'll have to move on to some of the bigger cold war jets, V-force stuff maybe? :hmmm:

Another Jaguar arrived yesterday but I haven't had time to photograph her yet.

The V-force (Vulcans, Victors etc) are very tempting but the scale is 1/144 and that is the 'put-off'.

[Jimbuna]

The latest addition...a Sepecat Jaguar 6 Sqn AA35412...370/1200

[Gerald]

Very nice, :yep:

[Jimbuna]

Yes, I have a soft spot for the Jaguar.

[Oberon]

She doesn't get a lot of the attention that other British jets have got, like the Tonka and Tiffie, a sound aircraft though, good for beating the Rush hour traffic on the motorways:

http://www.militaryimages.net/photopost/data/521/Jaguar1.jpg

[Jimbuna]

First time I've seen that :DL

[Herr-Berbunch]

My first experience of losing a pilot on station was a Jag crash at coltishall in '96. Amazing how the whole unit feels it.

The best thing whilst at Coltishall was the simulated airfield attacks where four uber-low Jags would appear simultaneously over the airfield, at great speed. :yeah:

Also recall a C-141 taking off fully laden en-route to Greece with F-16 spares, I was on air traffic's balcony and we all had bets as to how much runway it'd use compared to the Jags (who used most of it), we all thought equal or greater than a Jag but reality was near half!!!

[Jimbuna]

Low flying Jag (an old one)

When they stopped to manufacture, jet aircraft Jaguar, :hmm2:

[Jimbuna]

Production ceased in 1973 and they were retired from the RAF in April 2007.

What will you have,after Jaguar in your collection....

[Herr-Berbunch]

What's the full list like now then, Jim?

We'll see if we can find some obscure aircraft somewhere that'd fit in with your collection. :yep:

No worries.

I don't know if you recall I purchased the three disbandment colour scheme Harriers a few weeks back.....well, I forgot about the fourth colour scheme Harrier GR.9 "ZG506" Green and Grey camouflage.

Hobbymaster have just released her and I hope she'll be arriving tomorrow :cool:

The Harrier is one of the coolest looking aircraft around. Not to mention what it can do with or without a runway. She ranks up there with one of my favorites. That being the F-4 Phantom.

Nice model Jim!

The term 'Broon Dog' refers to 'Newcastle Brown Ale'...there used to be hospital wards frequented by those who formed an addiction to the ale.

http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/2884/drunkcob.gif I thank you for the wonderful "live" translation, of a great ale and its positive sides :DL

Sorry to hijack, Jim, but you really cannot have too many Spooks!

I've recently completed a Fujimi 1/72 FG.1 in 43 Squadron colours like your diecast. I'll have to get some photos done, then post 'em over on Britmodeller!

That Iranian Phantom isn't very accurate... :hmmm:

Try rubbing steel wool over the whole thing then throw it up against a wall. Then it will look more like what the IRIAF flies... :03:

Meh!:Kaleun_Goofy:

Actually, the pics make it look better than it is! I had some silvering issues with the decals since I couldn't get a glossy enough coat applied prior to putting the markings on. And it's actually got F-4S slatted wings rather than proper F-4E one's, it's not actually painted the correct colours......;)

Anyway, here's a Spitfire (Jim'll recognise this one I think:03:)

If there was a question regarding one of the pictures then reposting the individual picture of relevence would probably be the best course of action.

An unashamed bump.

[Oberon]

Well, while you're bumping, let's put some pics in there, shall we?

Went back to that bloke yesterday after work, the little sod had put the price up by a quid since he knew I was interested. He also had some nice Battle of Britain/Dunkirk Spit, Hurri, 109 and Stuka. Would have liked them, but not at thirty quid for the lot, no. So I stuck with getting three from him (and the Jayhawk is from an earlier purchase):

I don't think IDing aircraft is his particular strong suite, or he couldn't be arsed to put them on the right stands. This is in fact a Mirage 2000.

Snag is, I've run out of shelf space, so I'm going to have to help the other half move her model collection off one of the other shelves so I can spread them out a bit over two shelves.

[Sailor Steve]

Yep, they are nice but I'm struggling with the scale....1/72 or 1/144?

BTW....put up more shelving :DL

[Herr-Berbunch]

...and then Herr-Berbunch can repost them all again...

I don't know, I spend a week mostly away from Subsim.com and I come back and now I have to repost everybodies pictures just to prove a point! :doh:


;)

If quoting I too delete the pics before posting unless it's with something specific and a few other posts have appeared in between. Not everyone has superfast broadband, or the ability to download vast quantities of data - I dread to think how much Reece pays for his interweb connectivity! :o

On second thoughts - it can't be too much otherwise he wouldn't post pic after pic of bloomin' funny cats!

Back OT - nice new additions both of you :yeah:, and I think most here can tell that a French delta-winged jet is not a Russian attack helicopter :arrgh!:

Strange yet interesting...I don't think I've ever come across that scale before :hmmm:

[Herr-Berbunch]

1:87 scale is also know as HO scale (even then there are variations). OO is 1.76. Why manufacturers couldn't get together and use the same scale(s) for all model anythings - it would be great if your airfix kit you've just build could fit nicely with your Hornby train set, etc.. :doh:

The crap has now hit the fan because I have run out of storag/hidy places for the collection and whilst putting the ironing away in my wardrobe Mrs Buna noticed the overspill both on top and within and subsequently read the riot act :oops:

Luckily my boy is due home in a week or so and will be wanting to move into his new home so I'll be working like a slave shifting my daughter into his room thus creating the man cave :03:

Fortunately for you as she's looking over your shoulder - but even illiterates can see the Beautiful Women Thread, and she'll guess what it is a demand to know why she's not in there...!

Good luck with that. :D

Lovely, you just need to find a space for it in your new shelves now. :D

[Jimbuna]

Everything is sorted...cabinets are up, wooden shelves replaced with glass ones, boxes stored in every nook and cranny and most importantly of all, the aircraft are now on display.

I'm going to create a part two thread covering the building and siting etc. soon but need to take a few more pictures first.

Here's the helicopter section (cropped) as a taster:

There are two sections covering the Harrier and a single section each for Boscombe Down, Lightnings, Tornados, SAR, Chinooks, Gulf War, Canberras, Hawks, Gannets etc.

I do also remember an amerikan firetruck NYFD on both side of the vehicel. I Can't remember which year it was from, but I know it was before the 50 or 60'ies.

On the internet I saw once a guy that collecte Cheva in Diecast edition offcourse.

Could it be a case of too much alcohol, when you do this, a pure speculation, if so, I discourage from this, then it can have undesirable consequences, :hmmm:

[Jimbuna]

I only go out for the purpose of socialising with ex-colleagues and friends :cool:

Good to know, :shucks:
