My 1/72 Aussie Collection..Hobby Master and Airfix...

Post by krieglok » Sat Jul 23, 2016 6:01 am

I recently purchased a couple Hobby Master Planes in the RAAF livery. The Havoc and Beaufighter are really nice models. The Boomerang is an Airfix kit I put together recently. I have a Wirraway trainer and a Mosquito kit that will soon join them...

Very nice models.
I am too collecting HM diecast models in Canadian markings and building plastic kits that don't get make by diecast manufacturers.

Thanks, Cnq. I have a small collection of Canadian aircraft, mainly jets. One of my favorites is the F-104 Starfighter Trainer...a Hobby Master product.

I started building Cold War era Soviet planes not offered by Diecast makers to accompany my US Cold War planes that are very well represented by Diecast maker's offerings...

You might have seen this picture as I posted it here few weeks ago; But here it is again in case you never seen it. The Arrows and CF100 Canuck are plastic kits. The rest is HM diecast models.

Nice collection! Just don't turn on the treadmill..lol.

I love the looks of the F-101s. What are the two white planes in the foreground?

Those are the Avro Arrows developed by Canada during the Cold War. It was designed to be a high speed high attitude intercepter but got scrapped due to cost and other factors. Only six proto types are made number from RL201 to RL206.
