Only just spotted that Lightning, very nice. I think the Lightning if the RAF Museum has theirs in that config, IIRC they can also put missiles up on there.

Most definitely...the Americans have failed miserably thus far :DL

Watch out they don't find any powdery substances on you and feel the need to do an internal probe search on you.

I've heard a rumour the authorities have received a tip-off regarding your pending arrival :03:

Well I won it two hours ago on evilbay...you should find it simple enough...I'd rather not say how high the bidding went :oops:

:damn::damn::damn:

Good one, :salute: Maybe I should take the embassy entrance instead :o

Does Mrs Buna approve of such a vast collection?:o

Do you do any of the 1/18 stuff? I have a 1/18 MiG-15. It takes up a lot of space.

Jimbuna 05-08-11 11:38 AM

She raises the odd eyebrow but doesn't say much...besides, she generally gets whatever she wants.

She's heard of a certain retail establishment opening in Chester so I suprised her by booking a 4-day stay...that should keep me in credit for a few more aircraft and I do know there is a large Modelzone store in Bridge St. Chester :DL

1/18 is a little big I'm afraid, all mine are 1/72 and I'm still without any display space :-?

[QUOTE=jimbuna;1658219]That must be some small scale...1/144 perhaps?

Yes. :yep: They don't have as much detail but, not bad considering.

I might try possibly doing a diarama Air Show. The only ones they don't have is, a Pitts Racer or a Gee Bee Racer. :wah:

Put some pictures up on here...the more people that do that the better.

I'll be posting my latest acquisition (the Lightning) when it arrives.

FIREWALL 05-08-11 01:31 PM

I had an old Imageshack account. I wonder if it's still good ? :hmmm:

Will check it out. :yep:

Jimbuna 05-08-11 02:01 PM

You don't need to be registered with ImageShack to post pictures...one of the benefits over Photobucket IMHO.

nikimcbee 05-08-11 02:07 PM

so what's the net worth of your collection?

Hard to say Jason because the vast majority are limited editions and checking on eBay shows a definite upward trend in values since I started collecting in Dec 2010.

What I can tell you is I keep a spreadsheet of my collection and thus far I've spent £2072.08.

Who was it that said "Crime doesn't pay" :DL

I did mean that 'literally' :DL

Here is the last three purchases sited on the ottoman bed.
