How many models do you have of the same subject?

Oh my, I have a half dozen Tamiya F4-U's of various variants. However I just took a peek at my stack and found 10 P-40's all 1/48 scale. I have no clue what I was thinking!!

QUOTE: Originally posted by Peridexion Like LemonJello, I refuse to buy any kit I have already built. With so many different models to choose from, I think I would need to build every kit I wanted to build before I come back around for a replay.

The only exception to this is replacing kits that over my military service were lost or damaged during moves, and there were quite a few.

Hi all,

My is my multiples list

2 Beaufighters
2 F-16s
3 Spitfires
2 P-47s
2 Bf-109s
2 F-15s
2 Panthers

Cheers
Darren

Like LemonJello, I refuse to buy any kit I have already built. With so many different models to choose from, I think I would need to build every kit I wanted to build before I come back around for a replay.

I've built 6 F-14's and 7 Spitfires all different in version or appearance. As to why I have so many of these two types, it's simply because I luv 'em!

Later,
Darren.

As an armor specialist, I look for variety and try to avoid duplications. It depends on if you consider variants within the same vehicle series to be duplicates or not, but I have a very short list of even that category:

2 Pz IIs (both 1/35 Tamiyas, one DAK, one BoF)
2 Pz IIIs (1/35 Tamiyas, one DAK, one BoF)
2 Pz IVs (1/35 Tamiya Ausf D BoF, 1/35 Academy H/J)

And that's it...all the others are one of a kind within their variant class although I will soon have two StuG III's, one a C/D and one a G, in the collection.

Looking around all I see are p-38 & p-51s

......hhhhhmmmmmmmm........only recently have i pared down from some 275 unbuilt kits to what i actually have a chance to construct and display (60ish)........the majority (16) of which are the A & B model Mustangs in 48th from a variety of manufacturers.......
numerous 1/48 P-47 razorbacks, 1/144 airliners & 8 NITTO armoured fighting suits & transport vehicles........

variety is the spice of life.........or at least enough plastic to tide you over.......

i'm just getting started as of last year, and i spent 6 months of that learning how to airbrush before beginning to build seriously, but in that time, i'm in love with the 1/48 Tamiya P-51D, my favorite aircraft of all times!!! i have 2 built, and 5 in progress. 2 109s, and 3 corsairs of different varients. later.

Hi. Here's my list:

5 P38 variations (H,J,L,F-5,M) + Yipee (5000th P-38)
4 Spits (MK IIA,MK VB, MK IXC, MK IXE)
3 P51 (B and 2Ds)
2 Hawker Hurricanes (MK IIC & IID)
2 P40s (AVG & Pre-war versions)
6 De Havilland Mosquitoes (unbuilt)

I usually build them in groups....kinda like assembly line....

Stan is definitely a G-Man!

J-hulk: I think you would be intrested to know that my former drama teacher was mr. Stan Hyde, who makes models for movies, and met the real godzilla.

and my current tech teacher is Mr. Shane Kennealy, who a couple of years ago broke landspeed record motercycle, and was on tv.

To save space I've gone across the page, hope it is readable. For those who ask I've been model building for 47 years and I've collected these over the years.

Rob.

There are quite a few kits of which I have three or four copies. The "winner," by far, in my pile is eight Trimaster Me 262s.

I'd say the majority of duplicates I have will leave me as gifts to other people. However, I may have what some would consider duplicates in Aircraft, but they are in fact different modifications/configurations of a basic Airframe. For example, I have 3 C-130's I'll be building, but each will have a different Nose or mission configuration of the Aircraft that I actually worked on or have riden in.

I have over 30 models of the various incarnations of Godzilla, from makers such as Kaiyodo, Billiken, Wave, Volks, Tsukuda, Bandai, Aurora, Paradise, and Inoue Arts. Never picked up the Lindberg or Polar Lights kits, though.
Conversely, I only have four Gamera kits, all Kaiyodo.


For military subjects, I reckon the Tigers win: five Tiger Is (Fujimi 1/76, Tamiya 1/35, two Tamiya 1/25, and a Tamiya 1/16), and six Tiger IIs (Fujimi 1/76, Tamiya 1/35 Porsche and Henschel: one each, Bandai 1/24, and Tamiya 1/16 Porsche and Henschel: one each).

Other than those, I have plenty of other subjects of which I have two or three kits, like Shermans, B-17s, Ultraman...you know, the usual.

I have so many multiples it ain't funny!

The most I have is:

7 Hinds, various makes, 8th one building
7M1 Abrams tanks
7 F-15 Eagles
11 MiG 21's
6 F-4 Phantoms
All three modern British Invincible-class Aircraft Carriers
Three Kirov-class battlecruisers (going for all four)
5 Forestal-class Aircraft Carriers (two modern, three 1960's era)
3 Midway-class carriers (1950's pre-angle deck)
6 Missouri-class battleships (2 in 1980/90's fit)
every WWII Japanese Heavy Cruiser
30 WWII Japanese Destroyers.

And these are the ones I remember!

you guys are pathetic (sorry for the insult)

21 me 262
12 me 109
8 190
4 spitfires
2 mustangs
and 6 abrams

I have a compulsive disorder for F4u Corsairs. At least four F4u-4s, three F4u-5s, three F4u-1Ds plus a 1/8 scale RC version, an FG-1D, and currently building a F4u-1A to replace the one that was smashed by a furnace duct falling on it.

Funny thing is, I'm not really excited about the looks of the Corsair.

Of course I'm envious of everyone who has a workbench. I've been working on a little table lately. Since I just started again after a 20 year break, I have:

1/25th JagdPanther
1/35th Tiger 1
1/35th "Easy Eight" Sherman
1/35th Stuart
1/35th 2 1/2 Ton Truck
1/35th M3 Lee
One big Bird of Prey (forgot the scale)

I don't have that many models, but i have bought quite a number of B-17 Kits... 5 so far. first was a 1/72 Hasegawa B-17F, then a 1/48 Monogram B-17F. Both of these i screwed up big time. the next was more fortunate; it's an academy B-17F in 1/72, and it's sitting on my shelf. Then came the revell one that i've given up on (Raised panel line HELL), and the one i'm working on, a 1/72 B-17G from academy. I plan to do the whole line, from the YB-17 to the B-17H and YB-40....

Nothing that large numbers for me... At best, at any one time, I had 9 Patrouille de France Dassault Alpha-jets in 1/72 and 7 Blue Angels A-4 Skyhawks (6 Esci in 1/48, plus a TA-4J from Hasegawa in 1/72), and 5 Me-163 Komet (1 in 1/32 and 4 in 1/72).

Un-built, I still have about 9 Skyhawks, various variants & manufacturers but all in 1/72... Next would have to be the M1 Abrams, of which I have 5 in 1/72, from various manufacturers.

I have too many that I need to build once before I start repeating myself. There are some kits that I want to take another crack at later, to see how things have improved, skill-wise. But for right now, i refuse to buy any kit that I have already built.

I've been building models off and on since about 10 years old (37 now) I think first it was Battleships, then some cars, some planes and recently tanks (mostly because tanks are easier to store.)
Until recently all my models have used Testors glue, thus they fell apart. I should take a picture of each model good or bad just so I have something when it gets destroyed.

5-6 ships
5-10 four wheeled vehicles
15ish aircraft
3-4 helicopters
7 tanks or tanklike things(warhammer)

So Aircraft B29, B25, A10, V22, F16, F117, SR71, P38, F4, HU288, F51, "pre-117 idea for stealth bomber", PBY5a(civ), PBY5a(black), berkut.

I think there are a few more planes, but I can't remember what they are. The only ones that still exist are the HU288(not complete and never will), black Cat, V22, f16 and berkut.

4 AM McLarens (2 each to build with and without body panels)
2 AM Grand Corvettes
5 RM F-100 Tbirds (I wanted to build four planes in flight).
2 AMT Dodge Vipers (2 teenage nieces want one each)
2 Minicraft Cherokee 140s
3 RM Sprint Cars
3 Minicraft 777-200s (Price mismarked at hobby shop)

The (many) others are singles - I like diversity.

Given my recent efforts, I should probably buy two of every new one so I will have extra parts to replace the ones I mess up on the original.

hmmm, wasn't there a similar thread to this a little while ago?
Either way, I don't have a single double of anything...YET!
I don't even own a double of anything. However, the t-55 has always been one of my favourite tanks, and I'll eventually end up modeling a number of them. That, and a couple of f-14 tomcats as well.

Luke i have 8 109s from E3 to K4
4 Spitfires MK8,MK9,MK1 and FRMK24
OH yeah i have 20 or so hellcats about 12 avengers and about 12 Dauntles dive bombers and a few Devastators all for the 1/350 Trumpeter Yorktown

For a single variant, p51-d is tops on my list with 6 (2 complete), otherwise, it's Spitfires with 9, spread over MKs 2, 5, 8,9 and 14 (1 complete).

Al

Don't have many kits built so far but I have:

3 Sherman built (3 unbuilt)

2 Panthers

3 M1 Abrams

5 F-15's (3 survivors left)
