My 1/72 scale aircraft

[Dean62]

A really nice, well-rounded collection.

Thank you, I have 4 categories now…WW1/bi-planes, WW2/prop aircraft, Jets, and Civilian aircraft.

Hi Dean
Very sorry to hear about the health issues. I too have been sidelined by just that. Glad to see you're back at it. Would love to see the B-17. One of my absolute favorite aircraft. I'm sure you would present a superb example

Thank you, I am going to build the B-17 soon. It’s a daunting task, but I think I will enjoy it. I want to put all of my P-51 Mustangs with it on a shelf. A fitting display.

The Trojan looks great !
Sorry to hear you were not well.

Thanks Jeff. I’m doing much better now.

Thank you! Soon I will have 100 aircraft!

You're going to have to do something really special for aircraft #100. Maybe a B-36 or a B-52 with the X-15?

You know Dean, a Wright Flyer in 1:72 would be an original starting point.

I actually planned to build another P-38 Lightning and dedicate it to my mom. Like the “Marge” version, but named “Kathy” after my mom. I have a picture of her that would be perfect…


And the famous Marge for reference…

That would be a challenge.

Die cast.

 

[Dean62]

Die cast.

I don’t like how they look like a toy. I could either modify one or scratch build one, which may be fun. You still have the plans from the one you built? I can scale them down.

 

[Daniel20]

I did save them, but I have to find them.

Ok, no rush. That’s going to be a fun project for the future.

Good afternoon Dean. Hey , I’m sorry to hear you had some health issues- hopefully you are all sorted now. You have four to go to be a centurion….
Stunning Trojan. Cheers Grant
