Your collection is awesome !

I really like your HE-111H22 and your Vampire ! Great birds.

I don't recognize the soviet plane, is it an IL-2 Shturmovik ?

Thanks very much for the comments guys.

On the side note, I'm looking to get the Hell cat in 1:32. What would be the good kit to get in terms of price, fit, historically accurate...etc...

thanks again

Very cool!  I'm new to this as an adult, and I'm always impressed at just how good some of these look.  Thanks for sharing, Raymond

Thanks Jim Bish, and Squatch88.

Squatch88,

 I don't really have any advise. Just take your time working on your builds, have good airbrush, and patience. One thing I normally do is checking and reading reviews on the internet for the models that I'm going to build then decide which kits to get in terms of price, fits,and also read up on technique of how other people do camo for their builds...etc...and go from there.

Stunning builds there. I love what you have done with the Ju 88 camo. And I do like that Natter.

I am with you on the 32nd 229. Though I am hoping that Revell  do one as well, given there recent track record.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

thanks ssrc30.

The Hortens are made by Dragon (DML) but they discontinued the kits long ago. They do come up on ebay sometime. I got mine on ebay.

Excellent work on the birds.  Love the detail.  Who produced the 229 kit?  The only one I find where I live is the 1:72 version by Revell.

That's a great collection.  The camo patterns came out great.

On the bench:  Tamyia Mosquito Mk. VI for the '44 group build.  Yes, still.

Thanks David. The Ho229 is my most favorite plane. I hope the 1:32 version by ZM coming out this year will not be too expensive because I plan to add it to my collection.

That's a collection to be proud of! Really like the HE-111H22 and the pair of HO-229's.
