Thanks sir caloyski :thumbsupsmiley: i was actually new to this.before, i started collecting die cast planes but it was too

expensive.so i searched for an alternative and found these plastic models. I bought 3 boxes in which 1 box contains 10

random airplane models.

Most of the airplane that I got are 747,777,767,727,737. Only one airbus I found,A320 :cry:

[Boelcke]

Ganda!!

 

Those things are expensive, right? Ive always wanted to collect PAL planes.

[agent_tom]

Thanks sir Boelcke, Those are made of plastic so its not expensive. Die casts are really expensive, :cry:

but they look much much better than the plastic models. Give a try on pal sir :thumbsupsmiley:

I only have 2 of them.

sorry for the OT pic.these are die casts

[Boelcke]

Havent really looked at boxes of them when Im in the hobby shop. How much is the average price? Say, the A340?

 

I want to get some PAL birds. Ive taken a ride on every plane type in PAL's current fleet.

 

[agent_tom]

I bought mine in flight for US$26, set of 2 (B747 & A340). $13 each, maybe

[caloyski65]

if i were to collect commercial planes, i would do it with a touch of history & evolution starting with the very early commecial passenger planes like the Fokker F.VII Tri-motor (1920), Douglas DC-3 (1930-1940), Pan-AM World Airways Boeing 314 Clipper (Flying Boat), BOAC De Haviland Comet (Worlds first Commercial Jet Plane that went into production in 1949) to the latest B777, B787 (Dreamliner), B747-8 (latest variant of B747), Airbus A380 Super Jumbo and Antonov An-225 (not a passenger plane but is commercially available for flying any over-sized payload....... :thumbsupsmiley:

[agent_tom]

very nice suggestion sir. :thumbsupsmiley: thanks a lot

Took me 2 days to built this U.S M10 Tank Destroyer (DUCKBILL).....Thought it was simple and easy to build but there was just so may parts both inside & out

[agent_tom]

whoa..cool :thumbsupsmiley:

[Dr_PepPeR]

Yeah that's a cool build, Caloyski. I'm glad to see your trend is more toward 1/35 scale armor nowadays. AFVs have always been my major subject for builds. I don't have to worry about masking canopies, aligning landing gear, getting the correct dihedral/anhedral, natural paint metal finishes, scribing sanded off panel lines, fuselage/wingroot seams etc etc. On the other hand, brush painting interleaved wheels and bogies, indi link tracks are a bit more tolerable.... for now at least.

[Boelcke]

Nice M-10 Caloyski!

 

Whats next on your workbench?

[caloyski65]

Well i have a very long list of WW2 planes & tanks to build for both Allied & Axis forces. But finding each and everyone of them is harder than i thought. Right now i'm still looking for a much cheaper RAF Avro Lancaster Bomber and a Japanese Betty Bomber. Already found my M26 Pershing Tank at Lil's Tri-Noma. I'll stick to 1:35 scale for my tanks & 1:72scale for fighter planes & bombers.... :cool:

You might as well get the Hasegawa 1/72 Lanc, it's the best there is and probably the only one available here. Haven't seen a 1/72 Betty yet. Strangely, both are available in 1/48 by Tamiya.

[caloyski65]

A Hasegawa kits is way out of my budget and i could buy two low end kits for the price of 1 Hasegawa. I might try to order to Natalie of JMN hobby store. There are plenty tanks & planes on my wish list at all Lil's branches, however, most are on 1:48 scale or smaller than 1:35.

When I see a new kit being announced that I want to have, I usually tell Lil's to put one aside for me when the delivery comes. So they always have some sort of list from me on what should not reach their store shelves until I get my hands on it. If it's a really hard to find kit or aftermarket, I usually wait for a friend or relative to go to the US then I order online for delivery to the US so that they can bring it back here. Sometimes Natalie's husband, Roel, sells kits on consignment in Hobbies and Comics in Makati Cinema Square.
