A Tour Of My Giant 450+ Model Aircraft Collection - Summer 2024

~ FAQ's regarding my collection ~
Q: When did I start collecting?
A: August 2012 (over 11 years ago)
Q: What scale do you collect?
A: Mainly 1/400 scale, but also a few 1/200 models.
Q: How much is your collection worth?
A: How much I have spent on my collection is a different question to how much it's worth as a lot of these models appreciate in value over time. I don't know how much I've spent exactly but the average price of a model is £40, so if I have 400 models in my collection, we can simply times 40 by 400 which is £16,000, equivalent to around $20,000 USD. The average price for a lot of these models now, is around £60 to £80, so if I were to sell them, it's likely that my entire collection is worth upwards of £28,000, equivalent to around $34,000 USD. However this could easily be higher or lower and is a very rough estimate.
Q: Where do I buy my models from?
A: I buy most of my models from the aircraft model store, which you can find linked here:

I could only dream of having something like this one day…

[@biscuitplayzyt8900]

Agreed

[@TheFootballAndWWEEditGuy]

Same

[@RandomBritshGuyAviation]

Yeah this is a collectors dream.

[@TorontonianAvgeek]

I can agree with that.

[@Plane_dude_idk]

omg 465? I only have like 30

[@MileHigh_Aviation]

amazing collection dude! definitely one of the, if not the biggest collections on YT!

[@korea3175]

28:03 That Tu-154 is a Chosonminhang (조선민항, Korean Airways) aircraft. Chosonminhang was renamed as Air Koryo (고려항공) in 1992 and P-561 became an Air Koryo aircraft after that.
Anyways, what an impressive collection of aircraft models!

[@VeselinVasilev-hz6wb]

I liked the short haul EU aircraft and like to see some EU airport updates.

[@yulaviation3868]

Always great to how your collection is coming along. I personally have 56 models in my collection

[@chilitoday]

Wow, a bevy of beauties. It might be nice to see a collection of colorful vintage liveries such as Braniff that had the varied, monocolor designs which were so eye catching.

[@darrenwalters6339]

As a fellow collector this is an incredible collection and top set up. With having the Russian 1/200 bombers have you considered adding some US bombers to your collection? I have the Herpa 1/200 B52s, B1s and B2s and they are really good and I do recommend them 👍🏻

[@justinsimmonds5674]

Very nice collection update! I have 443 planes in my collection. We are pretty close in that regard.

[@1-400modelplanes]

Enourmous collection buddy. 11 years of collecting and investing in plane models. The worth of your collection is insane!

[@JMplanes]

What do you mean when you say “get rid of”

[@AVIATIONEUROPE340]

[@aripg3d]

Omg I love this ❤❤

[@planeandsimple_official]

Amazing collection! You should consider getting one of the new ITA A330 models from GJ, I think their vibrant blue colors would fit right into your IAD updates!

[@gulinevo8889]

I like the el al boeing 747 and i'm from israel. Very huge and very cool planes. Looks so amazing ✈❤❤👌

[@aviation22]

[@eugaviation3111]

Amazing video as always! I will be visiting the UK this summer and I was wondering if British people would appreciate it if we Americans used the British pronunciation for things? For example instead of saying the American pronunciation of fries and chips, say chips and crisps. Thank you!

[@NatesPlaneSpotting]

Cool

[@IcelandicAviation]

Amazing video, in the gemini jets future releases there is a 767-400 in the new livery, if you could control is what gemini jets model would you want (i am holping for a dash 8-200 from Icelandair)

[@enderbeam8089]

[@KylezenQui]

This was my dream, I will buy more than this in the future if im rich.

[@Aviation_Boeing777]

[@BrendanKondrath-og7hj]

[@CharlieMike23]

Wow......

[@Aviation98real]

Dang, my collection only has like 40.

[@Breeze_boeing757]

What are the collectibles called

[@nathangolaszewski7279]

All I want is just 2 models 😭

[@Carolinastrucks]

Man, I can never even find regular planes, everyone hogs them up and buys 30. Your lucky you can find any normal southwest or Alaskan planes. Mostly 737s. I want to find them so I can make rdu. I only have a few passenger planes that go there, and only 1 is a normal livery because that’s all I can find.

[@Heyitspapillon]

Same, I can’t find any Alaska’s except the E175

[@Carolinastrucks]

@@Heyitspapillon the people who buy like 10 of them are red river, aviation 18, citrus, and a few others don’t share them.

[@thev1channel666]

me with only one plane in my collection:
