Phenomenal! But, as someone else said, they really need to be behind glass for protection. Dust builds up over time and its very hard to remove and you can damage the models if you try cleaning. But well done, sir, I admire your dedication!
The guys literally cleaning them in the video and jokes if anyone wants to clean them. No dust collects if you dust them a few times a month. And look, he’s a plane 60 years old in his hand, absolutely nothing wrong with it.
My early kits was mainly 1/72nd scale but that grows up into larger 1/48 to 1/32nd.Still has a number of 1/72nd models which needs repair but that will take a while(hundreds of them)
Brings back good memories. Nothing better than getting a dollar, going down to the store, and buying a Revell, Airfix, or Matchbox kit; that's how much they were when I was a kid: $1.00
Brilliant collection, I love how focused it is. There are places that may be interested in taking on the models, for example air museums. I can't remember which one (I think Cosford) has a mighty impressive collection of model planes.
O yes. You do have a very nice collection of British model aircraft in your collection. I can spot a few that I would have loved to se parked in my showcase. Thank-you for sharing this footage.
I was absolutely envious of this man's collection until I realized what a freaking pain all that dusting must be... Man I gotta buy some display cases.
Man, you would love the shop I found in my town. It's a post office and on the 1st floor they have a model shop that sells several brands of army men and model kits.
Modelling hobby really needed a lot of space if not just forget it. If not just buy ready build diecast of your most loved plane and keep it safe, that's should be enough to admired it for life. Just my opinion..lol
I've played the Aerodrome (R) WWI aerial combat game since 1990 using 1/72nd scale aircraft that were built by experienced modelers. I've lost contact with the guys who built my WWI aircraft kits, how can I find experienced modelers who would be interested, OR modelers who have built WWI aircraft models they are willing to sell?
I'm doing something similar but building every model of airplanes ever flown by the United States airforce right now including one off trainers and experimentals that you barely heard of and even transport planes that the airforce used to move troops ECT I'm at 67 planes so far and not even half way close to having them all built and they all in close to the same scale 1/48-1/32 and a few 1/72 scale like the bigger bombers are in 1/72 scale but I plan on having every plane in 1/48 or 1/32 and nothing smaller cause 1/72 you can't get much detail into them and my fiance loves my hobby and she got into scale model building when she was 11 cause her dad builds scale model cars trucks planes ECT as well and I didn't know she built models until I went to her appareltment for first time and saw all the models in display cases all over the apartment and I asked her if she built their or was they a family member who passed and built them and she said follow me and when she showed me her building room my mouth hit the floor and I was excited I hit the jackpot a woman who also is really into scale model building and into 1/10 scale RC racing road course carpet and oval carpet and now she is into 1/24 scale slot car racing and drag racing cause I'm into that and you can combine the hobby of building scale model cars to look as realistic as possible and get to actually race them as well. We now live together and bought a house and when we went house shopping we bought our house based on having a large room or climate controlled shop to be able to use as a hobby building room and we found a house with this massive finished basement with beautiful tile flooring and it's massive and is used as half is a wet bar and family room with pool tables and built in display cabinets I made for all the models and other half is a massive model building area with 4 spray booths that has vacuumed to remove over spray and bring fresh air Into the basement so you don't smell the paints and fumes ever when building and have a system where when we are sanding and stuff it sucks the dust up through these vents in the walls around work bench so the dust doesn't spread through house or to the family room side of basement. And we had enough room to make a true 1/24 scale 1/4 mile 2 lane alot car drag strip to host race nights at our house cause closest one is a hour and a half away and there is about 10 ppl who live closer to us that race them as well so we do race nights on off nights of the other track and we are currently putting together this massive commercial 6 lane 1/24 scale slot car road course track that was at a hobby shop and used for national championship slot car racing and the best of the best back in the early 90s raced on this track now we have it and restoring it and setting it up so it can be raced on again and it'sassive with huge high banked turns and long straights can't wait to see the wedge pan slot cars go flying around this thing and even my vintage road racing slot cars that I put a cheaply built chassis under just so I can drive them but not nessacerly race them competitive cause they are to move of models to ruin racing and every single model I build has either a full blown racing brass chassis or a simple chassis made from tounge depressors and a dmall piece of aluminum strips so i can drice my hyper realistic models around the track and lightly race them and stildl be able to keepnthem looking like a scale mofel since i can hide the slot car chassis under the floor board and frames of the models
modelling really is a life-long hobby
Didn’t think so see you here! Your not wrong
@@12am_scale_modeling 😊
Agreed

@@MrSmid888I suspect he likes grabbing them and dusting them by hand
He must enjoy it
You know I typed in “airfix collection” just hoping I’d see someone with a big collection , and this short video was absolutely PERFECT.
Bravo sir.
me too.
when your past 50 ...eh.
what a gem of a man.
I consider myself a modeller and i feel very small watching this interview... Amazing!!
That is an amazing collection. One to be very proud of.
This is going to be me in 60 years, a boy can dream
Truly a hobby that endures through the ages!
My early kits was mainly 1/72nd scale but that grows up into larger 1/48 to 1/32nd.Still has a number of 1/72nd models which needs repair but that will take a while(hundreds of them)
I still have an Airfix Gladiator that I too bought for 2/- in Woolworths in Watford High Street c 1956. (It has lost its undercart).

Modelling is a great escape and way to relax .
I found I looked at aircraft in a much more in-depth way after I took the hobby up again.
Brilliant collection, I love how focused it is. There are places that may be interested in taking on the models, for example air museums. I can't remember which one (I think Cosford) has a mighty impressive collection of model planes.
Hopefully a museum would take them.
Hope he will have many years to come to keep his air force active and expanding and has secured a good safe haven for them after he departs this life
I am 57 still building models. It keeps me young and look much younger !
wish i had a big garage id take them on well done sir lovely collection and great building skills :)
Truly, a model modeller.
O yes. You do have a very nice collection of British model aircraft in your collection. I can spot a few that I would have loved to se parked in my showcase. Thank-you for sharing this footage.
What an absolutely brilliant collection of one's life and hobby.
What a guy it takes some honour to do that
I'm 19 started with the hobby at 17 and I'm only at 10 finished and 3 unfinshed models so I have to say that this is indeed a great airforce
Great collection you need to put them behind a sealed glass door, less dusting and cleaning
Impresionante, veo un F86 de Frog...¡¡¡de los primeros!!!! Muy buena colección. Me pasaría horas mirándola.
I was absolutely envious of this man's collection until I realized what a freaking pain all that dusting must be...
Man I gotta buy some display cases.
Man, you would love the shop I found in my town. It's a post office and on the 1st floor they have a model shop that sells several brands of army men and model kits.
Very impressive, starting with the Gladiator he was showing; like the Messerschmitt Me-410 as well as all the others.
Wow...im appriciate your hobby and collection. ❤❤
Wow now that is amazing
Respect to this man
Very fine! If you want to do some reverse lend-lease I will get another curio cabinet for them!
Desde Santo Domingo República Dominicana felicidades...
I'd love to own a collection like his..!!
You started when I was born , and I am 8 years later Greetings Edward
I would vist that collection
Very talented builder!
So basically he has built my stash. In God's own scale of course.
Isso é muito legal👏
Find the right man to carry on his fleet!
I have taken this challege on, I will comment when its done
think i found my new grandad
Well done!!!
Brilliant
So cool!!!
Imagine the person who inherits this!?!?
If you start this bobby, it becomes part of your life
Give them to the RAF museum to put in sealed glass fronted cabinets.
Medo dele derrubar o Gloster Sea Gladiator no chão! 😨😨😆😆👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My house looks the same!
i bet he hasn't got a Boulton Sidestrand in his collection
Do you make the vacuum models yourself from scratch?
Which plane can survive highest wind speed in hurricane
Modelling hobby really needed a lot of space if not just forget it. If not just buy ready build diecast of your most loved plane and keep it safe, that's should be enough to admired it for life. Just my opinion..lol

I'm trying to limit mine to about 150 once built.
I failed and now have a potential 173.
Модели надо от пыли протирать кисточкой...и нетрогать руками без перчаток...человеческий пот довольно агресивен.🤔
