let's spice up this thread with the inaugural tomcat by hobby master. i present you... vf-211 fighting checkmates:


an excellent effort by hobby master. it looks and feels exactly like a century wings model with minor additional details. they've addressed the wing sleeve issue that has plagued century wings tomcats from time immemorial,  but the seam gap below the rio seat remains, as with the gap between the pallet and fuselage. even the century wings stand fits this model perfectly. one minor peeve is the use of gloss instead of matte finish for the detailing. does it make the more expensive century wings irrelevant? nope... century wings can still hold its own with regard to the crispness of its detailing (dunno how else to describe). overall an impressive first effort by hobby master but personally, hobby master cheapo stand is a major letdown. a sleek pseudo chrome stand to accompany this piece would've been nice. as it is, it feels like a bentley at chow kit road...

Air Force 1
Altaya
Amodel
Hasegawa
Kitech
Revell
Witty Wings
Zvezda

All fit together perfectly as Mikoyan-Guverich, Sukhoi and Yakovlev representatives. Will need to add in Ilyushin and Tupolev to make United Aircraft Corporation

 

Still can keep going, still have a lot of parking.

Bottom row is full already with Amercom 1/72 Mi-28 and Ka-29.

Feels like gonna sell them of since heli kinda take so many space due to their rotor blades

Upper shelves will soon be crowded with Hasegawa 1/72 Su-35S (otw), Zvezda 1/72 Su-30KN and Su-37, and also Hobby Boss 1/72 Su-47

Will surely need readjustment again. At least displaying them in flight mode kinda resolve some space issues since not only the surface part is used (if one would chose to make theirs gears down).

Dont think i can add more shelves. Air space was utilized with the use of stands (i prefer my birds to soar the skies:P)

As for the tanks, it would be hard to see with addition of shelves, space would be a criteria as well in making sure they are all could be seen

hence the use of glass, my friend... 

Glass is transparent.
The assets are not

Regardless, I would think I would go for Billy+Oxberg in terms of shelves. The price is similar as having two Detolf, but with larger areas (with the expense of no all viewing area as glass would provide).

you could always double up your detolf shelving area by diy additional shelves 

potong space area woo

can't fit aircraft with stands

okay... time to bump this page back up. i must say cw seems to be slacking with this GLOSSY blacklions. back to their wolfpack days, this. and the load out has never been this loose (had to fill out most of the holes with blutac in order for the ordnance to fit tight). i dunno... i kinda like my witty blacklions overall. i guess i just dislike glossy paint on my tomcats (just as i said hm should've used more matte paint for their detailing!!!). anyway... here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure...

     
 
Great collection. Great to see u keep collecting.
Most of the collector stop for while...
