hehe same here!GAU-8 wrote:my game room is LOADED with planes (20) from the ceiling. so it will probably go on the floor like 8 are doing right now.
im sure ill make room for it in the upstairs loft. along with the phantom, dauntless, and all the other new ones i want.
either I will get a new folding table to display the B25, or I will just have it the pool table

Re: xd
Now that would be cool, you would be know as the guy with a B-25 straped to the hood of a bobtail. You will become a legend in the truckers world.kevrut wrote:Im going to strap it to the hood of my Peterbilt.
That'll turn some heads...
Truckers will tell this story and it will begin like this; No Bull crap I saw this truck, and it had this on the hood....

Yeah, I think a B-25 bolted onto a truck might just qualify as the largest hood ornament in history! The props should spin nicely at 65 MPH! You might even notice a little added boost in horse power!

I just made a deal with the devil ok more like my G/F, that with the entire new HUGE 1:18 A/C coming out I will need more space. SO she is letting me get some shelves to put in the guest bed room, and to turn it into a mini aircraft museum, she gets to put a sign up out side the room with the words 33 year old plating with toys, please ridicule and taunt.

Had to look back at the photos myself. That particular beast is Alexander the Great. He didn't actually grow into the name (though in size he did, at 16 lbs), so he's now Alexei (if I have my ruskei right), or Little Alexander.

Since they don't move the cats don't seem to notice the planes. They do make use of the plants (all artificial) to hide behind, peer through, whatnot. I added some pics of these beasts in their natural environment. Here's the link again.

These guys came about pretty much by accident, but have became welcome members of this household. Lessons learned from them is the need to make deals with them. It's important to keep in mind that cats aren't pets so much as I'm staff.

It sounds like many of you have the same problem I do. Where do you put these things. I've been collecting since the 21C Blue Nose P-51 and have at least one of everything in 1:18 aircraft. However, bring on the B-25, I'll hang it on the wall in the family room. I'll take down the piture of Uncle Fred.

It will definitely be hanging--although I will definitely need to add or rearannge ceiling hooks, and maybe upgrade a bit. Somehow, I see a B-25 with a P-38 flying cover and a Zero on an intercept course...
