HOLY S*%T

Awesome collection of WWII props. 8)

And to have them all out of their boxes,and on display,is most impressive.

Any jets in your collection?

Not that you have room for them. :wink:

What is the blue nose Mustang with the yellow tail? Do you have a close up? Custom you did?

Thanks

Great collection :shock:
That one is one of the old 21st planes called "Laura Michelle"

I have many of the modern Helicopters at work and only a few Jets..not many.


pickelhaube you have one hell of collection that needs to be freed from all that cardboard. :D

You also need a swiffer for that sweet helmet collection you have :lol:

That one has the 1st edition old tooling. It's a nice paint job on a crappy plane.

Tambo -

When you have them all out in the driveway like that aren't you scared some dumb neighborhood kid might come tearing by in his car, lose control and roll over them?

I couldn't do that unless I erected barricades all around.

Nope...not worried about that. More worried that one of my dogs might spot a squirrel and bash right into them.

All we know is that 21st made a prototype, and Jay won it on ebay for 300 bucks a few years back....

Kamakazi did a contest years ago. That was Jay's enter into it. I do not think that he ever finished it.

No matter I think he won the contest with it.

Yup, another one of my projects that took a back seat in the scheme of things......although it now ironically wears a spotty camo pattern (intentionally :lol: ).

The British 25 Pounder is another custom a build a few years back as well........Oh my god, where has my free time gone?!

I just finished putting new floors down in the Living Room and all the furniture is out so thought I'd take out my son's collection and "dust it off" a bit. I say it's his but I enjoy it just as much as he does. I know some of the items are not 1/18 so you don't have to point it out.

Nice collection of 1/18 models.
Is that a "California Cutie" P-38? Looks pretty cool!
