Hello! Its been a while since I've seen a thread on here regarding every ones model aircraft collection so I thought I'd start a new one up. Feel free to post pics of your own collection. As for me, here's my mine:
Will you watch the Cleveland Browns and the Detroit Lions on Sunday? Only if coach Eric Mangini resigned after a loss.

Quoting Mke717spotter (Reply 5): Those are sweet. Who makes them and what scale are they?
They're all 1:200. About 3/4 of them are Star Jets, a couple of Hogan Wings, one lonely Gemini Jets, and the rest Herpa.
Quoting UK_Dispatcher (Reply 6):
Which company makes the 1:200 bmi A320? I haven't seen this anywhere before.... Nice collection.
Thanks The bmi A320 is made by Star Jets. As far as I know, they went bust a few years back, so finding some of their models can involve a fair number of Google searches and trawling through smaller retailers. You're in luck though - airlinemuseum.com has the bmi A320 in stock.
Quality's substantially better than the Herpas - it's a shame they went under. (Although, I bought every 1:200 they made, so it saved me a fortune...)
Just got my first 1:200 Gemini Jets model last week - the BA A320. Now that's a nice model. Die-cast metal with antennas, rubber tyres, even clear plastic beacons that catch the light, and the printing is incredibly detailed. Well worth getting to the nearest model shop and asking to see one - but have your money with you, because you won't want to leave such a gorgeous plane in the shop.

Quoting B777Neuss (Reply 21): I have about 250 Schabak 1:600 model aircraft also some 1:200 plastic aircraft.
But I don´t now how to post pictures from my profile.
Hey I had a quick look at your profile - do you have a pic with all 250 in?
You found the "Add smilies" link - just to the left of that is an "Add Images" link. Click that and a pop-up appears. You then click "THUMB" or "FULL SIZE" beside the image you want.
It should be obvious, but I missed it too. Just spent 10mins going through the help and searching Site Related, trying to remember how I managed to do it! It should really be in the Posting Help.

WAOW. Dang. That's a nice collection. I really love the way it looks when you have so many from each airline and group them together.
Do people here collect according to themes, generally? Particular airline, type, whatever? Me, I seem to have several general themes in my mind, and a new model these days usually fits into one:
"BA World tails" (especially on a 757), though any BA is good.
"Concorde". I love my Hogan Concorde so much that I'll probably get BA Landor and British, as well as the new and old Air France - and they'd better do G-BOAD in BA/SQ, or else! - so there's another theme waiting to run.
Despite my penchant for 757s and Concordes, I want more types. A Phoenix 1:200 Tu134 may be my next purchase.
I'm also interested in having a good geographical spread; I've realised in the last couple of weeks that I've not got anything from Africa (no, BA Botswana tail doesn't count) or Central/South America, but even an airline from a new country is good.
But I'd sell my grandmother for a decent 1:200 Swiss MD-11. She's a cantankerous old bat, I'd sell her anyway, but don't tell the guy with the MD-11 that

I wonder if you and some of you other guys would consider taking some string (floss-type, but a bit stronger) - maybe two pieces for each a/c, cross them diagonally under the a/c, then take the 4 ends up over the a/c and tie them in a way so that they could be hung from a ceiling (I would say with sticky tack, but definitely something stronger). I'm sure it could be done, and in an aesthetically pleasing way, too. Just my

This is such a great post & I'm so glad I came on this forum page looking as I've been wanting to follow some of my a.netters to see what you guys/gals do setting up your model displays, which type of models you like to buy, etc..
I have just started my collection after wanting to do so for many years. I have:
1:400 scale Gemini
Delta 762 Spirit of Delta
Delta 763 late 90s scheme
Delta 777 Current
Delta 752 Current
Delta MD11 late 90s scheme
AeroMexico 777 chrome
AeroMexico 788 new color scheme
1:400 scale Dragon Wings
Continental 764
I have many more to go as well as wanting to get all the models for each airline a/c I've been on.
Does anyone have a favorite online estore where they make the majority of their purchases?
Particular preferences for certain airlines when picking between Gemini, Herpa, Dragon and etc.. ?
Thoughts about setting up your own hybrid model airport?
What are some good sites to purchase airport equipment like jetways, stairs catering trucks and etc..? They are not the easiest things to find as most are sold out?

Quoting Umfolozi (Reply 39): No, they aren't moveable (retractable). But it would have been nice if they were!
I meant wether they "hang" like the do on real planes when in the air, not if they're retractable Like the A330s rear wheelpair is lower than the front pair when in the air.

Thank you very much. There are more, and even more yet to build. The white and red L-1011 is a TWA bird. That shot shows 24 feet of airplane models, 95 % hand built and hand painted, no mirrors yet. Glad you like them. My 8 nephews love coming up to this room and just googling everything.

Yeah i wondered about that. I was up there just recently and bought models worth about €110. Next time, shall i go to the tax-refund counter at AMS to get the tax refunded? I thought about it but then decided not to, also because i have no idea where that counter is, and wether there even is one. Any AMS local might be able to help me out here.

Ok guys. I'm really into model airplanes. Mostly civil, but some WWII American/German planes. Can you give me a list or say 3 or 4 good websites where I can start ordering from?
Specs:
Airliners: North America, Carribean, Europe for now. And also the WWII airplanes.
Thanks guys!

Wow, there are some really awesome collections out there! I have a 75 plane collection myself, been collecting seriously for 4 years now. The planes are all 1/400 scale, I also have SIA's Heritage Series 1-3 and Series 5. Unfortunately I don't have any pics of my collection now because I store them in their boxes, simply ran out of room trying to display everything! Anyway, I won't list my entire collection, but here's some of the special stuff I have:
SIA A380 from the inaugural flight
MAS B744 Hibiscus and B777 Heliconia
Dragonair 20th Anniversary.
All 3 QR Asian Games special liveries
OS A340 Wiener Philarmoniker
CI B738 "Aspic Lavender" and A333s "Fruits" and "Butterfly Orchid"
Finnair "Moomins"
Wunala Dreaming
Several *A liveried aircraft
I will post some images of my collection soon if I find the time.

The following online model shops have them in stock. Some models are unfortunately already sold out. But you can also try eBay. That's where I got some of my models.

I have an extensive collection (various scales) and brands, mainly Gemini Jets and Dragon Wings. Two of my prized models though are my Bader Models 1/200 scale CityBird MD-11 (Green) and Trans Caribbean DC-8 (old livery). My collection mainly consists of Douglas and McDonnell Douglas aircraft and special color schemes. I also have each Air Force operator or base of the C-17A this includes the recently released Royal Canadian Air Force CC-177.
I love collecting models as much as I love taking photos of aircraft, it's a sickness I tell ya!

My 1:1000 collection in it's entirety. What I still want to get in the future is Herpa's 1:1000 airport display mat and airport buildings/accessories. And then I want to add runway and taxiway lighting. Will look nice!

My collection is'nt big, but I'm working on it. I prefer the Herpa 1:500 scale, but I also have other scales and manufacturas, such as Schaback:
With few exceptions I only collect planes and airlines I have travelled with myself:
My newest planes from my last trips...
A wondeful version of a SAS DC-10 made by ERTL. retracting landing gear...
Wonderful Pan Am ! The big 727 is a Hasegawa modelkit that I have glued and painted togehter myself. Fairly good result...
These are some really old models, from my childhood, when I was playing with them and keeping them in shape was'nt the top priority. You can see that some of the paint chipped off.... But check out the great British Airways 1011 and the funny looking Matchbox version of Airbus 300 Air France. Funny wheels on that one...

I am amazed by the details of the 1:1000 scale models. Compare this with the average quality of Schabak models at scale 1:600. I started my diecats model collection with Schabak about 10 years ago but pretty soon switched over to Herpa Wings.
Quoting Mortyman (Reply 72): With few exceptions I only collect planes and airlines I have travelled with myself
That was my initial idea but it didn't take too long before I started to buy other models too... couldn't resist the temptation
I have just unpacked and put on display all my models again (as I just inaugurated a room in my house which will be dedicated to aviation) and took pictures of them all, so I will be able to post some pics here shortly. I have Herpa Wings and StarJets on scale 1:500 and Dragon Wings, Gemini Jets, Herpa Wings and one or two other brands on scale 1:400.

Forgive the classic camera phone image quality. These four aren't the only model airplanes lying around, but they're basically the only ones that matter since the others are either broken, crappy, or being sold.

New release by Hogan: For the first time ever a B747-400 in the official Boeing House Colours in the 1:1000 scale. The model is extremely realistic for such a small scale, especially the landing gear!

Hogan has also just released Air Force One VC-25 in the 1/1000 scale. They will also release the B777-200 and -300 1/1000 scale in Boeing House colours shortly. (More to add to my collection!)

Oh, HECK YES!!! I'd much prefer airline liveries, but that AF1 sure entices me

I have just one model........ an easyJet A319, made by Space Models. The scale is 1:100 and is an excellent example of this brilliant corporate brand image......
1:100 scale easyjet airbus A319 made by Space Models....my only model and very very rare ! given as a gift...who could ask for more !

Quoting Umfolozi (Reply 97): New release by Hogan: For the first time ever a B747-400 in the official Boeing House Colours in the 1:1000 scale. The model is extremely realistic for such a small scale, especially the landing gear!
I just started collecting 1:1000 scale models a couple of months ago and this new release by Hogan is an extreme upgrade compared to the current Herpa ones. The gear especially looks absolutely outstanding! Is the gear fix or is it removable?
I'll try to make pictures of my whole collection which is made up of a mix of 1:400, 1:200 and 1:500 aircraft. I collect mainly models of airlines from Switzerland.

I hope Herpa will follow Hogan's example; Herpa's models aren't bad at all, but they can really do something about those wheels (stumps)! If Hogan can do it, so can Herpa.

The Super-freighters, Airbus A380F and Boeing 747-8F, both 1:200 scale Hogan Wings:
A380F 1:200
A380F 1:200 on top of A4 page for size comparison
A380F and B747-8F 1:200
A380F 1:200
The Airbus is very top heavy on its stand, and is much bigger than the 747-8F. I want to get the same style of (heavier) stand as the 747 has for the A380 and then have a same style metal plaque made for it with Airbus logo and A380F on it.

Here's a couple of mine..
These are resin at about 1:78 scale. For some reason the 319 is not as photogenic as I would like. Still working on that

Great to see that this thread I posted so long ago is still going strong! Here's a pic of my newest additions:
Will you watch the Cleveland Browns and the Detroit Lions on Sunday? Only if coach Eric Mangini resigned after a loss.
I'm thinking of adding Qantas A380-841 to the collection next week, same scale and manufacturer as the A380F. The A380 is the largest model I have, it is wide and very heavy. I'm already starting to run out of space to fit them though.

Will have to get some pics of my collection but right now it is:
Quoting Af773atmsp (Reply 128): Where did you get that HA A330? I've been looking for a HA 767 or A330 model 1:200 scale.
The model is a custom 1/400 scale on a Gemini base model. To the best of my knowledge, HA hasn't commissioned any A-330 models yet and I don't believe anyone makes a HA 767 in 1/200 scale.

Congratulations to you all. I see that some of you have set up full airports with runways and all the planes!! You're all doing great!!
I have a few models, mostly Concordes, they are very nice ones, all diecast models. I also have three Singapore Airlines A380s from the inaugural flights, Sydney, London and Narita. They are all boxed like most of my goodies as I am only in this place in Monaco temporarily. I will set them up whenever I move in a new place for a longer amount of time.
Maybe we will get something on the anniversary flight on the 25th, we will see.
Now this is the dream model I would like to have.
An A380 that flies, possibly in the Singapore Airlines or Airbus livery. Also two giant Concordes in that same size, an Air France and a British Airways in registrations of my choice. Maybe also a giant Concorde F-WTSS in the original Areospatiale/Sud Aviation livery.
I could go down to the Heli Air Monaco Heli field during the hours when the helis are not running and fly my toys
There was a better way to fly it was called Concorde
