What a beautiful model collection. Being a modeler since 1965, I understand that this is not just a collection. It's a huge part of your father and his interest and skill in the hobby. Didn't surprise me that he also built the display shelves. Non modelers don't get it. Peace to you and yours from America. :)
Truly amazing! If I may take some of your time to read this message. Your father was a perfectionist. His experience of making cabinets has shone through. Everything you look at these as I do will give you happiness and pleasure. I collect diecast model aircraft and I do this as hopefully they shall be worth something for my daughter to remember me by in the years to come. It is quite simply a truly staggering collection my friend. If only I could retreat what your late father did time and time again. Take care and all the best from the UK my friend
I have since sold this entire collection to Stoker Models, situated in Greenlane, Auckland, New Zealand. They are specialists in dealing with 2nd hand models. I believe that quite a number of these aircraft are real collectors items not available any more. If you have any interest in purchasing any of these models suggest you contact Colin at Stoke Models Ph 006495201737
Hi Ray. I do hope the collection was sold complete . It would be such a shame for that not to happen. I presume by now a deal has been done it would be terrific and a lasting legacy if a museum were to be the fortunate recipients. Terrific collection and l think some rare editions. Thankyou for giving us the privilege of seeing your father's passion.
An aviation historical society that will appreciate this awesome and historical collection . An aviation museum . Do not sell this you may regret it . In these societies devoted to aviation history this collection will live for ever . Once again thank you .
Gorgeous collection! Years ago I dreamed of building as many aircraft types as I could. The problem I ran into was OCD. I didn't want to just build a Curtiss P-1. I wanted to build a P-1, P-1a, P-1b etc. The other problem was that I'm poor and live in an apartment, so space is at a premium. Instead, I build a handful of World War 1 aircraft, sticking to the oddballs. I do have one plane in a museum - the Boeing 299, the prototype B-17. As I said, a collection to be proud of.
You have to wonder what happens to our collections after we are gone. I imagine most of mine will go to the tip as my kids and grandkids have no interest. Stunning collection from your dad and hopefully it has gone to a deserving collector.
Absolutely amazing, and very inspirational. You can tell he put a lot of care and dedication into that collection! Also if we look at the numbers, at 148 models, if he had have theoretically completed 1 per month, it would take more than 12 years to have completed them all. A truly staggering amount of work went into that collection :)
I was in VP-48 in the late seventies, early eighties. VP-50 was one of our sister squadrons. You may have been told this before, but the main cabin door on your P-3 model is incorrectly installed. The door opened in and then slid sideways like an airliner. This is not to take away from your work. You have a great collection!
My mistake, or the a/c at 01:05 must be an F6F-3, bacause in the F6F-5, the small windows, after the sliding canopy, had been eliminated in the production line at Grumman's.
I built so many of those same kits. Great job committing the collection to video. Lots of rare birds in that collection. ....You might also consider spending a laborious day taking still closeups of details, such as any custom work or detailed painting, then make a collage, and post said collage.
WOW, I am duly impressed and with good reason. Wow, just wow !!!!!! Thank You for letting us see His (Now Your) collection. I can not express how much I wish I had the money to buy every last model He/You have. Especially being built by someone who obviously had a love for it. They would be adored and guarded with life and limb.
Not only impressive, TOTALLY AWESOME, the collection should be in an aviation museum. Thanks for sharing.
This collection is by far the best ive seen and the organisation and presentation is incredible!
This video was so sincere and beautiful. It’s made me misty eyed for sure. A wonderful tribute to your late father and his work.
Consider a museum . This collection will live for ever . Thank you .

glad for you and glad your models get a nice home. @@MrLegacy3
I'd even go so far as to say that his dad did very well.
I came up in the '60s & '70s and model airplane building was alive & well. Things have changed in the 21st century. Wonderful collection here.
I enjoyed modeling as well. I thought I had a good collection. This collection was only in my wildest dreams.
Don't sell them...you'll be sorry...
joel walker he has

A wife's absolute nightmare.
You are my absolute nightmare
Yes it is kkkk
Not if she has any sense. Shuts the door and says that's your room to clean.
His wife probably has more shoes than he has models. 😂
I wouldn't have guessed ALL these models could be found at the 1:72 scale. Impressive/immaculate builds and collection!
You wouldn't believe all the others available, from the 747 to the Cayley 'Coachman Glider' of 1852.
What an absolutely fantastic and highly impressive model collection!
Ein Museum ! Danke ! Bin richtig überrascht ! Klasse Maschinen !
Very impressive collection of beautifully made models.
An aviation historical society that will appreciate this awesome and historical collection . An aviation museum . Do not sell this you may regret it . In these societies devoted to aviation history this collection will live for ever . Once again thank you .
Thank you for posting your video of your Dad's excellent collection of aircraft!
Very beautiful collection!! Congratulations!!! 👍
Gentleman's scale, just like me. I hope this collection went somewhere that will treasure it...

Oh good lord this is beautiful

I built so many of those same kits. Great job committing the collection to video. Lots of rare birds in that collection.
....You might also consider spending a laborious day taking still closeups of details, such as any custom work or detailed painting, then make a collage, and post said collage.
We don't have the collection to re photograph it was sold some time ago
Great collection. Your dad did a great job.
