Thumbs up Diecast Collecting

Hello All,
I am just new to this forum and also new to diecast collecting.I have really enjoyed reading all the post's and looking at all the photo's of everbody's aircraft.I have been building model aircraft for 40 years and grewup around aircraft.I recently made my first diecast purchaces and just rcvd them this week.
Corgi : AA34601 Mosquito 1/32 scale
AA36301 Faiery Swordfish 1/72 scale
AA36302 Fairey Swordfish
AA36303 Fairey Swordfish
AA36304 Fairey Swordfish
They are all great looking models,I hope to get the other 2 Fairey Swordfish aircraft when they are released later this year.There are so many great models out there for all of us to enjoy, so let's enjoy.

Just ordered a new edition that can be added to this list.The Richard Bong P-38 AA36601.

Re: Diecast Collecting

Glad to see you here bud. If you want to see one this hobby can lead to go to the collections section of the site, and check out my gameroom. I could have been on that island with Lindsay Lohan, but instead I am here with you guys and a room full of diecast planes.
 

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.
