[Airfix 1/72nd Blackburn Buccaneer S.2C]

I do not know why ... but I like those old English aircraft. They were never the most beautiful, but still great to look at.
Your model shows this British style superbly, very well done model.

I have never seen before this "criss cross camouflage".... outstanding job you do on your model, fantastic.

[Your first aircraft model ?]

I built the first kit in 1974 at the age of 7 years, the Matchbox F4U-4 Corsair. What followed it was like a virus, a disease ... incurable ...infected to this day ...😁

...I had not seen a Zero or any other Japanese with kill marks before, probably because I'm not that much into WWII planes. Great modelling indeed.

There were some Japanese planes with kill marks. Here e.g. Takeo Tanimizu, Picture of Takeo Tanimizu and his Zero .

[Lockheed C-121C Super Constellation, Revell 1/144]

Inspired by the model 1/144 Cathay Pacific Airbus A350-900 Revell (built by Columbia20713) I also show a weathered "airliner". It is the Lockheed C-121C Super Constellation (Revell 1/144), to me the most beautiful airliner ever. I painted the metal finish with model master (testors) "steel", "aluminum" and "chrome". Decals of the '' Fuerza Aérea de Chile '' are my own production.

 

 

This original photograph of a Connie parked somewhere on an airfield, apparently forgotten, had caused me to make my model worn out. But I did not want to make my model look broken, just worn and dirty.

 

That's the result

A wonderfully built and weathered airliner! Most Airliner models are very clean and brand new, but yours is just like it is in "nature"! Likewise I love these models.

they did indeed, as part of a series including Amy Johnson's DH60 Moth, the Bristol 138, and the Westland PV6 of the Everest flight.  Perhaps also a Bleriot - or is that my memory going?

Here are the De Havilland DH.60 G Gipsy Moth Amy Johnson, the Fokker F.VIIB-3M ''Southern Cross'' and the Westland Wallace PV-6-Prototyp (Houston-Wallace).

 

 

 

 

I am still looking for the Bleriot XI

Just found this thread. This question may have been asked before, am I correct in thinking Frog produced a Ryan monoplane and the Alcock and Brown Vimy? I built both of them in my youth but can't remember if they were Frog or another firm.

I'm probably wrong......its an age thing memory not what it was and all that.

Steve

You are right...

Here are the Ryan NYP ''Spirit of St Louis'' (unfortunately not as a Trail Blazers) and the Vickers Vimy from my collection.

 

 

[Hello from Germany]

Hello everyone

My name is Peter Lepold, I'm from Germany (Durmersheim, Baden-Württemberg).

I'm born in 1967 and I'm interested in model kits since the early seventies. For many years I am collecting model kits (mostly old models, for example Airfix, Frog, Matchbox, Revell etc.). 

This forum was recommended to me by the user "viscount806X", thank you very much.

Best regards

Peter
