*Updated* Starman's 1/18 Plane Collection

Some of you guys have asked me about my 1/18 planes i have so here is what i have hanging up at the moment.These planes are in a old storage room that i had re-modeled last year...My daughter got to pick out the room color not my favorite color The good thing about this room is the ceiling is at about 10 ft clearance no one can touch the planes...
I also have Admrial F-86 and a 21st century Toys F-104 Starfighter,P-40 Flying Tiger and Stuka but at this time i have them at my fathers house so no pics of them.
My Tuskegee P-51D is coming in later this week.
I'm going to have a hard time finding room for the new 1/18 F4 Phantom's and Skyraider's that are coming late 2007
Enjoy the pictures.

Re: Starman's 1/18 Plane Collection

That is an awsome room you have there bud. The TBF and that rather plain marked Corsair look great.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

JP, don't be surprised when I drop by your casa unannounced one of these days... I know where you live, ACE!

Very nice collection of 1/18ths!

Ya that Corsair was orig 21st Bunker Hill .
When i first bought it at wally it was the only one they had and the Yellow around the cowling was smeared all over the nose of the F4U.
Like someone touched it while it was still wet.
I could not match the blue on the Bunker Hill corsair at all.
So i just masked off the Star & Bar areas and sanded the plane down and repainted it ModelMaster Navy blue.
I call it my Pappy Boyington TV show Corsair...lol
This is the same exact color the 21st used on Flight 19 as well.
I also did a re-paint on the PE&P Bluenoser "Cripes A Mighty" since no one makes that P-51D i did it.With the help of Eagle Strike decals it came out great.

Re: Starman's 1/18 Plane Collection

Hi Starman,
I bet you gasp every time you open the door to that room! I especially like the F-16 and the F-18 in BlueAngles. Are the BlueAngle models still available? Let me know at tinykitplanesmfg@asisna.com Some day I might have a collection of 1:18th to fill a room Also I'm not having an easy time posting photos how do we do it here when I import them from my photo album?
Alph

Ps Thanks for showing you excelant collection!!!!
