Probably of no interest to anyone here, but I wanted to be able to post my collection somewhere, and here seems as good a place as any. I’ve tried to categorise them as best I can, but these are overlaps. I’ve gone with the following categories.
Retro: Any older planes from classic airlines,
Narrow-bodied: Your typical small planes like a Boeing 737 or Airbus A320.
A380s: These deserve their own category because they are the biggest planes ever to have taken to the skies.
747s: These were the kings of the skies before the 380, and super-iconic. I love them.
Heavies: These are the other giants of the skies such as the Airbus A350 or Boeing 777.
I’m going to start today with the retro planes because they are a new interest of mine and I don’t have that many yet.

Probably something very worth collecting because it’s the unusual stuff that tends to become very valuable. |

Yeah and I haven’t posted all the heavies and narrow bodied models yet. I’ve got no chance of being able to display all of them and yet I’m still hooked on getting more. Thankfully they do sell easily and I won’t lose any money.
