Re: How Many Four Engined Biggies Do You Have?
The only thing that springs to mind is do you have any doubles?

Not on display, but those are just the 1/72 Corgis.......... (+ the 3 1/32 Mosquitos that would not fit in the other cabinets).

Horrido!

Re: How Many Four Engined Biggies Do You Have?
Very impressive Horrido! Isn't Two Mossies on one glass shelf a bit risky though? If they come crashing down...

Shelves cannot fall, they have extra length supports and a vertical hardwood strip at the front that prevents movement backwards or forwards. Cabinets were built to take advantage of toughend glass shelves sold very cheaply in IKEA, there are 2 "panels" per shelf, so weight is not a problem either.

Horrido!

Great to here you've got that concern covered. Wouldn't want you reporting a mishap on the thread on damaged models.

Foolishly I walked into a little model store in 2000 looking for a little truck, saw the Corgi 1/72 Bf109E of Adolf Galland, I have been certifiable since then.

Horrido!

Not a bad looking collection you have made up over the years.

Me too, but less one Liberator, so it evens back out.
