So there I am yesterday, I found another good model shop here in Brno so I start looking around and my eye drifts across a model of something I've wanted in my collection for almost a decade. An Aero 45!
For those who don't know what that is, its an early post war Czech built civil aircraft, a later development was the Aero 145 with uprated engines.
The kit is by A Model and is typical limited run stuff and requires some work, but I understand Pavla has an aftermarket vac form canopy and some resin stuff for it, so no problem there. I also understand that A Model has a kit of the 145 as well so I'll have to keep watch for that. The kits are 1/72.
Here's a pic of an Aero 45, I loved the looks of it the first time I saw a picture of one 10 years ago and decided I must have one in my collection.
Anyone else have a story about finding that long elusive "must have" in your collections? How long did it take you to find it? How did you finally find it?
Should be some interesting stories here I hope.
