Whoohooo...I got another Spitfire
Whoohooo...I got another Spitfire
Hi guys,
I'm a newbie and have only started to get into the world of 1:18 scale ww2 recently.
I purchase a mint "day & night" Spitfire last week and today has just scored the second one "4Q" Spitfire in new condition. Both cost me ~$100 each + shipping. I'm coming from the 1:30 scale polystone/metal ww2 figures & armors. I have collected items from King & country, Figarti, Collectors Showcase, and Thomas Gunn.
Below is the list of my 1:18 planes & tanks:
- "Old Crows" P51
- "Day & Night" Spitfire
- "4Q" with invasion stripes Spitfire
- "Snake" stuka
- "Sakai" Zero
- "12" BF109
- "7" Me262
- Sidewinders F18
- Jolly Rogers F14
- Two 21st Century Grey Tiger tank
- 21st Century camo Tiger
- 21st century Panther
- 1:16 scale RC whitewash tiger
- 1:16 scale winter KV-1

Welcome to the forum, cnq.
Looks like you were collecting some nice stuff in the "smaller scales" before getting into the 1/18.
Collection is coming along nicely.

Welcome! Make sure you have a lot of storage space as this hobby can get pretty addictive. One 1:18 airplane or tank never seems to be enough
