Are there any fellow aircraft enthusiasts in the house?

Miniature version of Duxford, especially the USA hanger! My one was RC models, I built and repaired them, son flew and crashed them. Still have loads of stuff in the garage loft including a half built low wing sport plane and the unopened kit for an 8ft wingspan pre war low wing open cockpit low wing sport plane, kit cost £150 in about 1993, plane fetured on the cover of RCM&E one month!

 

Yes. I am an aviation enthusiast

 

Yeah always been interested in planes. Used to build models when I was a kid and have an unbuilt Spitfire kit in the cupboard that was a gift from last Christmas. Don't know if I've ever built them as well as you clearly have, nice collection.

 

Well, it is hanging from the ceiling......but it’s a real one!

Count me in as an enthusiast, flyer, ex ground engineer (avionics), still flogging my way around the globe!

 

Or the Deutche Museum

Thank you for posting. Great looking models there.

It takes me back to the early sixties and 2/6 Saturday pocket money. That would buy most of the smaller Airfix kits. Two weeks worth of pocket money would graduate one into Lancaster’s etc.

The glue always came in tubes which were designed to spit the stuff onto the clear plastic canopies

But I loved them. In my later years I stuck with it (excuse the pun) and moved into Tamiya F1 kits, air brushes etc.

I am looking for a large scale Fokker Tri-plane detailed model?

When I was a teenager, I built this:



1/24.... mammoth of a project.

It even had a tiny electric motor behind the propeller (with the AA batteries hidden inside the stand).

 

Currently involved in building a Zenair 750 STOL - full size, at Aerobility which is a flying charity for the disabled. We started building in February this year and have no end date, just see how it goes.
The whole idea is for as many disabled people as possible to get involved in the build, handling tools and reading drawings etc. led by people with rhe relevant experience.
Fuselage and tail assembly is completed already and we hope to begin work on the wings soon.
Rotax have donated an engine at a vastly reduced price and Garmin have given us a complete glass cockpit assembly.
