Here are mine. Except that they are under poor maintenance. Sorry for the crappo background as well


SR-72 "Black Bird"


F/A-14 "Tomcat"


F/A-18 "Hornet"


AH-64D "Longbow"

Hey DeathWing, both of us are having the same F-14 Tomcat model as in the brand of the model. The brand name is Italeri. I can tell it's the same coz both our F-14 Tomcat has the same unit markings to the tail fins. But of course, my one nicer looking la

Yea, it's Italeri but I think it is F-14A.
I assembled it in flying mode with retracted wheels so I can play around with it . If you notice the paint on the plane body, it is slowly losing colour, sign of poor maintenance and wear and tear flying in the harsh weather.

I bought the Black bird for RM20+ only. No idea what brand is that, it is huge (standard 1:72 scale) and I sprayed it with black paint and save me the trouble of brushpainting it

hey aircraft modelling was one of my fav hobby when i was around 10-14

still keep some of the planes...but got damaged due to poor maintainence...

My collections are

Fujimi Messchimit BF-110C/D 1:72

Fujimi Submarime Spitfire Mk2 1:72

Hobby Kits F-15 Eagle E/D 1:72

cheapo china made MiG25 Foxbat 1:144

model kits price are ok...but the paint :swt:

well have other collection of 1:35 military figure and vehilcle from tamiya also....all collecting dust now

Wei~ at last hteres a thread about this.
I'm more of a commercial aircraft builder rather than a fighter.

however my collection includes Lufthansa 747, AirChina 747, Airchina A330
Malaysia Airlines 777, B52 superfortress

Deathwing, i tihnk i got the same model of ur SR-71 BlackBird.
Mine is the Revell Snap fit one.

one more thing, anyone know where can i get commercial aircraft plastic kits? all i see is fighter planes and stuff.

did u all paint it?? and how much do hv 1?

waaa rupanya many ppl in Lowyat ere into aircraft modelling as well..

i got a couple as well.. but most of them i havent painted yet... the one 've painted are all using normal aerosol paint (RM5.50)

here is what i have for the moment and this a old shots as well... noted that the F14 Tomcat and the F18 Hornet "dambuster" is a diecast metal model.. scale 1:48 the rest is plastics from the elcheapo China brand.. Kitech and Zhengdefu...

i do have Revell-Monogram models waiting to be assembled... MIG-29 Fulcrum (germany Marking) scale 1:32, Panavia Tornado (Saudi Arabia marking) and A10 Thunderbolt - scale 1:72 and a Eurofighter Typhoon 1:48 scale. all of those are Revel-Monograms model.. cost quite expensive especially the MIG 29 one..RM290 my expensive one yet...

will post pic later... but for now..


enjoy...

I think part of the difficulty in getting commercial aircraft kits is that its an infringement of the trade mark of an airline to sell them. Which is probably why you only get them from the airline company itself. And also perhaps there isn't much of a market for it. Thats what I think anyway.

If you're looking for BA, AF models, there's a thread in Airliners.net which is offering them.

I bought a F-14D Tomcat years ago. Hey did u guys buy Air Combat Collection magazine? There is free aircraft model.

I got three now :
F-86 Sabre
F-4U Corsair
Mig-29

Not really, I saw dozens of die cast Malaysian Airline planes being sold at ToyCity. Though they're ridiculously expensive (say, RM700 for one that's about 15cm long?)

well, they are diecast. What we have here cheap ones are plastic. Well, i see that they are alot but perhaps no market here in Malaysia. I saw a lot in a hobby shop in melbourne. But i tought they are sold here so i din buy

I have an Su 37 but the condition is not very well.

yea.. i saw this magazine as well.. thinking of buying it as well... not its in the 13 issue right?? i missed all the first ones... so the MIG-29 one is the latest issue is it?? and the magazine itself is RM15 right?? hmm i really need to start buying this magazine... its kinda hard to find a good publication in the newstand nowadays with regards to aircraft... hmmm

the scale for all of this is 1:144 right? i have a few with this scale as well.. all die cast one....



i think i saw a couple of these model airliner in THE STORE hmm each is about RM10 if i remember correctly.. i didnt buy since i concentrate more on military aircraft especially modern fighters and going to venture to military helicopters later...



i have a SU35... the condition is ok for a Zhengdefu brand... i've painted them (using spray cans) just didnt put on the decal yet.... you can see it in the photo above (although its not very clear) i'll take another pic soon.. and post it here next week... and mine is at a 1:42 scale...

i definitely need more time to finish all of my models.. since i can't stop buying .... luckily "the WIFE" is very understanding..

now working on assembling the YF-22A.. 1:72 scale.. half way done already...
pic as above...

cant wait to post more pic soon...


kuman

har? 10 bucks, can elaborate more ar, like what plane are they are they china made plastic kits.

i think its a die-cast model.. the scale is 1:144... quite small... for more details i'll stop by the shop later... maybe i can find out more... or maye i'll buy 1 just to show how its look like.. i think the shape and everthing is quite accurate... but maybe the tyre part is not very detail...

anyway i'll check it out later and let you know... since i have to get another F14 or Eurocopter model anyway...

kuman

I bought it few months ago. That time it's alredi issue 16. MIG-29 is in issue 14.
btw, there are no tyres..

if you dont mind me asking...where do you ppl normally buy your modelling kits ?

Any Jaya Jusco's toy department sells modelling kits from Gundam to Airplane models.

I got all my airplane and Gundam models from Jaya Jusco at 1 Utama.

ooo.. i thought its from some hobby shop...
