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!!
Man these blades are sharp....... Where's this red stuff coming from????

Cool [8D]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.

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 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.

1/35th "Easy Eight" Sherman
1/35th Stuart

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.... Big Smile [:D]

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. Shock [:O]

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.
