Yes it's an expensive hobby...I have 28 models in the 1:400 scale. Will post the list and photos soon. I used to collect the 1:500 scale, but gave it up after I discovered that the 400s looked much better. Still have a few from 500 and 200 left with me.


Regards,


Ten V

I bought around 20 models on my trips to HKG and BKK in Dec 2005.


I also began making plastic models of fighter aircraft of 1:200 and 1:80 scale from the age of 12-15, it was my main hobby along with my sports than and i have built over 130 of those.


Give me sometime and i will type out my list of metallic models for yoll.

Deaphen, where did you order the display case from? How much does it cost? I am looking for one for my collection as well.

Hi ten v:


Well i got lots of ideas for display cases online, mainly made of glass. So i got various print outs from these real expensive furniture planes online, and gave the idea to this high end furniture guy here.


I had earlier thought of getting a carpenter to make it at home, but then decided against it as it was mainly glass work.


The details of the case i have ordered is, its 6 feet tall and 5 feet wide. Its totally made of glass except the top and the bottom. That gives me 6 5 feet shelves which will hold about 10-15 odd planes (5-7 standing on wheels and 5-7 on their stands).


The totaly price for the display case is decided according to sq feet. This is 30 sq feet @ rs. 1000/sq foot. that is roughly rs 30,000.


If you want the various ideas i got i would gladly forward them to  you.


regards


nitin
