Inflight 1/200 Philippine Airlines 747-400 - Bringing back memories at LAX

Hello Everyone, I haven't been active in the collecting scene for a while, until.....  Inflight released the Philippine Airlines 747-400.  I just placed my pre-order at Diecast Airplane.com.  With the MAC10 discount and free shipping for orders over $100, you can't beat this deal, especially on expensive inflight models!  Thanks Steve!  I'll definitely post some pics once she arrives...

This aircraft brings memories of LAX when my family used to come pick up relatives.  Do you…

F-18 Hornet - A cool video Aggressor scheme

Heres a really cool video of an EA-18 Growler pilot flying with a Legacy F-18 Aggressor.  This was a nice reminder that   Hobby Master is releasing an F-18 Hornet in splinter camo colors.  Having made the best mould for an all metal 1/72 F-18, I think its going to be a really nice one.  The song playing is Sail by Awolnation.  Enjoy the flight.

Although not in…

Blue Angels 2013 Shows - Cancelled

It was very disappointing to learn that the US Navy has announced the cancellation of the remainder of the Blue Angels 2013 show season.  I was very fortunate to see the Blue Angels last October in 2012.

Hobby Master 2010 Blue Angels F-18 Hornets

I was ecstatic to learn of the upcoming Hobby Master Release of the 2012 Blue Angels.  As a child i have dreamed of owning a complete set of Blue Angels models.  Hobby Master has done a fantastic job with their F-18 mould.  Still, there is a details to be certain of before they produce this model, so until we see a pre-production picture, there is no guarantee of a fully accurate Blue Angel.  Given the way they do business, I am confident Hobby Master will pull through with the greatest Blue…

Crossing Into Plastic

I have strongly embraced my all metal model collection and have periodically wondered about the what if's.  In this case, what if I was to begin collecting plastic models in 1/200? 

Right now, the idea seems strange, collecting strictly die-cast metal models.  I have despised the plastic models and cringe at the fact of receiving a few metal models with plastic vertical and horizontal stabilizers.... I am on the verge of making my first purchase of plastic 1/200 models. 

I used…

My Collecting Story (updated 04/28/12)

 

The Beginning - 1/500

My collection all began in 2003 when I stumbled across an eBay listing for a Herpa Wings 1/500 United (battleship Gray) Boeing 777-200.  This was the OG or old generation model from Herpa Wings which had the fat tires and plastic landing gear.  Having never seen any sort of model like this,  I was fascinated at the detail in such a small model, and it was made of metal!  In my mind, these were the Dyna Flights for grownups!  I became…
