Jimbunas Diecast Collection
 

Some of you already know of my latest hobby (as of Dec 2010) of collecting post WWII British aircraft.

If I'm in the wrong section would a moderator kindly move it to somewhere more appropriate?

Edit: I've had to remove the list because any alterations and the justification etc. goes all to hell.

Yes it was an interesting update, it seems that the wallet need also updated :yep:

Sub & Naval Discussions: News, Books, Films, and Models

:03:

-------------

On the subject, I'd love to start collecting something like that, just don't have the money for it. :-?

:nope:


Although some did serve with the Fleet Air Arm... :doh:

Rgr that Gerald...especially an old pensioner like me :DL

Won this on evilbay a short while ago....a 2-seat Typhoon trainer ZJ807/BF, 29(R) Squadron, RAF Coningsby, Lincolnshire, to complement the single seat version already in my collection.

The trainer version is becoming really scarce to source, I've only seen two or three examples this year.

Somehow I knew someone would jump on that. :O: Hence, I say: Go look inside and see all the dozens of model threads there are, many of which havr nothing to do with naval stuff. :03:

I got an F-100 a couple of days ago :rock:

Pictures or it didn't happen :smug::DL

I'll take some tomorrow...alas the pointed bit just below the nose (what is that, radar?) suffered a gravity related incident, but the rest is in good shape.

Ha, ha. Upholding your reputation for landings with models as well as flight sims! :rotfl2:






I can't talk.

Can you fly with them ?

why yes of course, the only question is how long;)

Here are some mine Jim. Never mind the dust :88)

That's an impressive looking collection Chris, I'm waiting for the first ankle biter to fly the nest so I can convert the room into a man cave and put mine on display.

Thus far I've got my eye on a few of these but may end up looking for something with glass or perspex fronts like the one further below to keep the dust off.
