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.

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

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

Good one,

Maybe I should take the embassy entrance instead

Does Mrs Buna approve of such a vast collection?

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

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

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.

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.

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 ?

Will check it out.

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"

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

Here is what she's lying on (sorry but I forgot the flash wasn't turned on for these two).

I can assure you it isn't though.
