Which company makes the 1:200 bmi A320? I haven't seen this anywhere before.... Nice collection.

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.

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.

I want one with wheels, so it'll sit on the shelf - whiich means another shelf, which means another cabinet. Which means more empty space to fill with planes My wish list is getting longer all the time.

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.
Is that a 747-8 I see in one of the photos? I really want a 747-8. I was about to get one and it showed "in stock" then I when I'm about to click "purchase" or "add" its on back order. So instead I'm saving up for a 747-8F.

here are mine, there not updated because more planes have been added since but it gives you a good idea of how there set up, also you cant really see my 1:100 scale models which are in another corner.
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
Great collection, my airliners are 1/144 scale, with a few 1/100 and 1/200. My military planes are usually 1/72 scale. Great collections all, love the airports, want to work on mine now after seeing all of yours.

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. It is our hangout, I am trying to build the upper deck now, will be a airport ramp, 24 feet long by 4 feet wide. Once again, thanks.

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"

I will post some images of my collection soon if I find the time.

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.

Wow, that is a great little jet!
Quoting Aleksandar (Reply 82): I abolutely agree with you. 727 looked great in that livery. This is one of my favourite too, together with Iraqi Airways livery
You have good taste! Hope Iraqi keep the old scheme when they get going again...

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!
