To be honest the Pavla Martinet was a really nice little kit and I`ve bought another once since to do in a camouflage scheme when I get the chance. If you`ve done a few limited production kits then you will have no problems whatsoever and it looks much more accurate than the old 72nd scale Magna kit, Cheers Tony O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 A stonking line up there! I particularly like the Baltimore and the Culham Rapide. However for very large display cabinet, I suspect we shoud read aircraft hangar! Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossian Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Another lovely collection -- I really don't know which one is best Could we see a photo or two of everything together -- that would be stunning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin101 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 You have great collection there Tony!! Liking the target tugs especially! Anymore types in the pipeline? Maybe a Stinson Reliant? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_c Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Fantastic collection Tony, I can't say I can pick a favourite but I do like the more unusual stuff like the Baltimore, Seamew and Traveller. I've always been a bit of a closet fan of FAA aircraft. And yes, this is coming from a Crab! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Thanks ever so much lads, Paul C- I think Culdrose is growing on you- you`ll be transferring to the Navy before you know it!! Dave (Merlin 101)- I`ve got a Stinson Reliant, her is my 72nd scale Magna kit, it is a bit old now and I intend to convert the old AMT 48th scale kit when I get the chance, although it will take some doing!! It is in the markings of the Navigational School at Piarco in Trinidad and the high viz markings were applied to the Reliant and Grumman Goose. Here is another Magna resin model that I forgot to include, the DH Flamingo; For those of you wondering about my Tardis,....sorry cabinet,.....here are some pics; Thanks again and all the best, Tony O Edited January 26, 2013 by tonyot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Love those cabinets Tony, were they custom made for you? Duncan B Hiya Duncan, Yes we were totally re doing the living room so I designed a cabinet to hold most of my collection and the builder/carpenter built it for me,..mind you it cost £1,500 ish as the toughened glass was really expensive!

Buzby061 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 A fabulous collection with some unsung heroes in there. I forgot how ugly the Seamew was, rivals the Barra in the "I wonder why they bothered" department. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Some very nice stuff there, I must admit to not knowing the FAA used some of these types! Some excellent results from some less than stellar kits as well, Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
