Jimbunas Diecast Collection

Jimbuna · 04-29-11, 12:31 PM

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

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

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

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.

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.

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!

I can't talk.

Here are some mine Jim. Never mind the dust

AVGWarhawk · 04-29-11, 08:34 PM

I collect diecast cars as well.

Thread hijacked!

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.

Ordered this Tonka earlier today for the collection:

AA33606 Panavia Tornado GR.4A No. 13 Squadron, RAF Marham, Norfolk, "Operation Iraqi Freedom"
