New arrivals to my "hobby" collection
 

Added a few new planes to my diecast collection this month, have to be careful though as they cost a small fortune so cant get as many as i would like :(

My Hurricane fleet is growing, thats 13 i have now, always room for more.
Next on my want list is a couple of BoB Spitfires but they are rather expensive, also a FAA Hellcat(looks great with d-day stripes).

Any recommendations as to what would look good in the collection? Unfortunately i cant change the squadron markings etc as they are already printed on. But what WW2 plane do you think should be added next, and why?

hello bud!!

waoooooo!!what a great collection,very nice!!!congratulations!!!top good!!
and greaaaaaat!!!an f6f hellcat!!,please post a pics of it when u will have my friend!!
for the ww2 planes ,u could be add a dewoitine d520,yes i know i'm chavinist sometimes but it is nice and we don't see a lot,why not a japanese fighter too,it could be nice to have for example the f4u and a n1k shinden in a same pic !!AGAIN CONGRATULATIONS,CONTINUE TO GIVE US THE PICS OF YOUR FANTASTIC COLLECTION!!!!MILLIONS THANKS TO SHARE!!!

sincerely

Many thank Olife :D

The Hellcat isn't in many numbers when it comes to diecast, but theirs enough ;) i'm eyeing up either the FAA (Fleet Air Arm) d-day hellcat, a pacific hellcat or a vietnam french hellcat. As for Japanese all i have so far is the Zero but im not to pleased with it. Their could be room for more....

As for the D520... I dont think they do one :( i will check though.

Very cool, thanks for the pics.

Should maybe look at the new list for wings of steel, and try for a small collection of both games not all as i can imagine that would cost a fortune lol.......... if possible that is, as im not a collector, i dont know whats avail and whats not..

I could get a specific plane, but couldn't match the decals as they are diecast and already imprinted..... trying to alter them is wayyyyy out of my league.

For example -

The Hurricane in BoP - I would just use any of the BoB hurricanes from the pic above...

The Heinkels... i'd just use one Heinkel that i have.

Other wise i would be spending a fortune :( Which i'd love to do don't get me wrong... i just cant :(

Olife...

Does this meet your approval? ;) Its one i'm currently looking to purchase and add to my collection. It can go with my FAA planes (Swordfish and Hurricane).

Ooh thats a good one Foz, I think you do need it to acompany the pencilfish.

Its definately up their on my list is this plane, i only have the two FAA planes at the min. Was hoping to either carry on my BoB or Bomber Command set but this particular one has caught my eye...
