Thanks for the feedback, FVD. Even at $100 a pop at aikensairplanes.com it still is a bargain (well for me anyways) and I may just get a "George" or a "Val" divebomber diecast.

Hmmmm...which one is better???

Oh, I don't know, I really like both... Maybe the Val (it's very impressive, at least size-wise), but that's a matter of personal preferrence.

You actually need both...

Re: FormerViperDriver Collection

FVD, here's some suggestions for a particular scheme/livery for your future Marushin Oscar purchase!

Re: FormerViperDriver Collection

New additions and new arrangement following purchase of an additional display cabinet. It's starting to get really tight in that room, but the new case allowed me to put just about everything under cover (except still for the larger FM/Armour planes), and leaves me a bit of room for future growth.

Two new FM F-4s have joined the fleet: F-4E and F-4F.



Re-arranged 1/48 scale modern fighters:



Large-cale GMPs and some of my Corgis:

Re: FormerViperDriver Collection

New arrangement/additions continued. New: FM P-47 "Eagleston" and Spitfire M Vc USAAF.



"IXO Row" (with a Dragon Me-262 night fighter, Corgi Meteor, and MRC Russian P-40). The helicopters are there for now but will move later.



HM Bush Avenger and Vraciu Hellcat join the Corgi PBJ-1:



Bud Anderson has now appeared to go fly his "Old Crow":



Finally, new addition: NASA NB-52 "Balls 8" with X-15:

Re: FormerViperDriver Collection

Very nice, FVD! Quite a few 1:32, 1:35 aircraft you have there. Love the figures you have with them. I gotta get some figures to go with my 1:32 Old Crow, if that is possible.

Re: FormerViperDriver Collection

Hey FVD,

nice setup on the FM/A F-4s!

And good to see that you finally got the NB-52. Nice model I have to admit.

Cheers,
AA
