Nice ... really nice....

I'm still trying to find me an affordable Hobby Master 1/72 F-111 Lakenheath or F-106 Bicentennial but those prices usually skyrocket right before the auctions close on fleabay.... oh well...

Still trying to find me a USAF C-9 Nightingale in 1:400 or an EC-121T (!) Warning Star.... for some reasons, these seem to be simply unavailable. Oh well... it's really been quiet on the diecast front. I'll keep looking.
By the way, it seems that the Dragon Wings 1:400 RC-135 Cobra Ball which was announced in 2010/2011 never made it onto the market or have I missed something?

Keep them coming, even if I don't have anything new to show for my own collection, I always enjoy seeing fellow collector's collections.
Cheers

Andy

Im afraid both the LN F-111 and the ANG F106 have long sold out, so you will have difficulties tracking one down at a decent price. Keep an eye on Jumblies though, they often have rare HM releases for reasonable prices.

With regards to Dragon, they are one of the most useless companies known to man when it comes to releases! I'm still waiting for the F-117 they announced 10 years ago.. These days they have improved somewhat, but still aren't the answer to modellers prayers that some think they are..

Thanks for the information in regard to the HM models - I'll just keep looking and maybe I'll get lucky one day. And as far as Dragon is concerned, I guess I better not hold my breath for any releases untill they are really on the market!
Happy collecting

Andy

Just Bumping this to see if anyone is still collecting Diecast esp - in 1/400 scale, I am just starting out on my little trip of collecting a small group of 400 and other scale mil craft starting with a Dragon KC-135D (Special Tail Markings) next to arrive will be the rather excellent Dragon C-5B again in 400 scale.
