I have only a handful of diecast planes, but I have quite a few kits I built years ago. I need to get back into building kits once I get an airbrush and other supplies.
But yeah, I work as a mechanic for a regional airline that flies a mixed fleet of Embraer ERJ-145's and ERJ-175's. Get to see all sorts of neat stuff taking off and landing due to how close our hangar is to the runways.

Oh nice. What airport do you work at?
 
My 4 non-kit airplane models, 3 of which are diecast:


1/100 Embraer ERJ-1445XR, Aero Le Plane
1/72 Grumman F-14D Super Tomcat, Dragon Wings (it is more an F-14B rather than an F-14D though)
1/72 North American P-51D Mustang, AUTOart AEROart
1/200 Embraer ERJ-175SC, Gemini Jets

I REALLY need to take good pics of them, along with my last few 1/18's soon...
 
Managed to get hold of this from Hattons. Pre-owned Australian Trux model of a Sydney AEC Regent in 1/76.

I originally wasn't going to buy myself a model for my birthday/Christmas. But on Christmas day while contemplating the very concept of gift giving; the meaning of my life, and why I'm still such a failure at it I decided it would be traitorous to defy such a tradition. So to make up for my tardiness I jumped to 1/18 instead of the usual 1/43 (or two).

Ottomobile Alpine GTA V6 Le Mans!

I've wanted one of these for ages, a few years probably. But the only ones I ever saw were yellow with yellow wheels (yikes), or blue ones for crazy prices. It doesn't really show in the images, but it's actually slightly green, almost a faded teal. Scarabee green if we want to get all dweeby. This marks my first Alpine that isn't blue.

This is the collection of Alpines, I have an unruly addiction to these baguettes (though admittedly a bit subdued compared to some of the collections round these parts :P). I also have a 1/43 rally A110, but it's the ugly Ixo model so we don't talk about that.

Sorry for the slightly quick and dirty photos, I don't really have the time for a nice photo shoot of the planes, but here is where my collection is standing at the minute.

Starting at the top:
IMG_20200115_130652406.jpg


1:400 scale models of the American Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-11 and MD-87, as well as a roughly 1:250 scale Air New Zealand Boeing 747-400 in one of the more classic liveries that they have appeared in

Next shelf down:
IMG_20200115_130710610.jpg


From the left we start with a roughly 1:200 scale Aer Lingus Airbus A330. This was the first model I ever got and is a bit beaten and destroyed by this point. Along the front are a 1:400 scale Air New Zealand Airbus A321neo and a 1:400 Thai Airways Airbus A340-500 both from Phoenix. The bigger models in the back are both 1:150 scale of another American Airlines MD-87, and a Delta Boeing 767-300

And finally, the last model for the moment:
IMG_20200115_130719657.jpg


A 1:250 scale Northwest Airlines Douglas DC-10

I already have plans for my next pay check, so I'll be sure to take some nicer shots once that gets delivered!!!

That plane in the top shelf on the right reminds me of the plane at the end of Die Hard 2!

That is a seriously impressive collection you have Venom.

I have more or less quit collecting. I've put a limit on what I want to collect, so I've not bought a new car in months. Good for my wallet, but I miss it. :lol:

Only thing that will probably slow me down is space, lol. :lol:

So much cool stuff there I almost didnt know where to start. Then I saw the XJ13.... :cool:

That XJ13 is probably my favorite old AUTOart, as it was released around 2004 or so. :cheers:

I've less things than you do, but I hit that limitation already. My figures have exceptionally huge boxes. About the volume of five 1:18s for one of them. Do you keep your boxes or have you scrapped them all?

I keep my boxes, though many models I had before 2008 don't have boxes, while some eBay purchases after that didn't have boxes either. If I re-organize some boxes I figure I could get another 50-100 models tops in my apartment without too much trouble in terms of box storage. Displaying would be a whole different can of worms though...
 
My newest addition. A 1:400 scale model of the Chinese made Comac C919 in Comac house livery made by JC Wings. I'm extremely happy with this model, it's a bit more of a unique plane, and the model looks fantastic. The colours are crisp, smaller details are well presented and I'm very happy with the shop I bought it from

I didn't know that there were any models of this aircraft available. Also, it's a blatant rip-off of the CS300 (aka Airbus A220)

Bit of an update with my collection, got an additional display cabinet, I plan on getting more in the coming weeks so the bulk of my collection will be on display once that happens.

I'm in love with your assortment of Le Mans prototypes and GT1 cars.

Shameless XJ13 post.
My most prized model as I actually saw this car running and at a Jaguar meeting, it had a novel method of keeping dry:

Vey cool. You should make a matching scale umbrella and display it with your photo.
