Well, I guess the forum title says it all!!!
For a number of years now, I've been collecting models of aircraft. These are not toys, they are actual scale models of real aircraft including correct markings and registration numbers. The range I collect is 1:400 sclle and are made of diecast metal. (That means, for example, a B747 would have a wing span of roughly 6 inches).
Amongst my collection, I have about 60% of the VA fleet - including a beauty of G-VFAB in "Birthday girl" colours.
Anyone else participate in this rather sad pursuit?!
Are there others that are unaware of this?
Also, I'm not sure the entire fleet has yet been produced in this model scale - anyone know?
When I get time, maybe I'll try posting a few pics - in the most part, they are very accurate little models indeed.
Annarack on, heading for the door...
