Many thanks for your reply EVGATech_EddieH
 
Hmm GWR are very hard to get to it would even cost my boatloads of money too, I don't need their proof to know what I have, as I have treid that with my Descent/Freespace collection, I made a post here @ Interplay forums:
http://www.interplay.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=912&start=20#p10523
 
And a long time later they sent me this reply:
http://www.interplay.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=912&start=50#p17353
 
Which gave me lots of hope that they might agree my claim, but sadly that didn't do it I guess, they mailed me that even if my collection fo Descent & Freespace is the largest in the world it was not big enough to enter as for my total collection of other thingss well some collectors have a separate house or building to store their stuff in, as their own homes became to small and tbh I don't mind having a bit of this and that but living space is also important, I am not really the hoarder collector type and I want it to keep it that way, sometimes I sell things to gain other things, this is the best method to keep some space for myself as well.

Okay here's my model aircraft collection before I moved to my new apartment, well new been here for like six years ya know xDDD
 
The Soviets:

 
The Allies & UN

 
Here an overview of my Allied forces and a little dogfight going on, two Soviet Fighters a Mig-29 UB Fulcrum  with a Sukhoi Su-33 Seal Flanker versus two American prottype fighters, two Northrop YF-23 Black Widow II's a Black & Gray version.
The Northrop YF-23 Black Widow II is by far my ultimate fav when it comes to ATF's or say Advanced Tactical Fighters

 
The Oldies:

 
As my modeling days go, I have made about 80 scale 1:72 model aircraft, mainly military ones for about 5 long years, and when I moved to the new apartment which is now 6 years ago, I just had no more room to add even more. Even that I lost a huge number of my loved models, I was able to spare at least half of what I have made, well til it lasted, some fell on the floor and yer some died along the way, how ever I was able to save some of my favs, which the following pis will show
 
Alongside Military aircraft, I also gave Starwars a go, these were built a good 15 years ago though, nevermind their neatness , for back then they were done quite nicely, I gave the Blade Wings my own self done Green Squadron insignia with a Light Russian Blue / Dark Gull Gray cammo and I modded the Y-wing a little more too, also a nice Y-Wing Collectors plate added to the lot:


I also did some neat aircraft as well, in total that's aircraft, Helo's and Starwars models I had a number of 80 items, this was 5 years of work,but since I moved to the new apartment which was a good 3 years ago, I lost many models, and here are my best lot that luckily survived, them StarWars ones survived as well thanks to my parents help packing rofl.

These were made a good 12 years ago:
From back left clockwise:
Mil Mi-24 Hind-F
Mil Mii-24 Hind-A
Kamov KA-50 Hokum

 
From left to right:
Mig-25-A Foxbat
Mig-31-B Foxhound

 
From left to right, back to front:
Mig-27 Flogger-D / Mig-29 UB Fulcrum
Sukhoi Su-21-G Flaggon / Dessault Mirage 2000-N



This set was made 8 years ago and that Douglas KC-10-F used to be a KLM DC-10-30 Passenger plane from Skyland Models, it's also like all the others@ scale 1/72 8-)
From left to right:
Douglas KC-10-F Extender
North American XB-70 Valkyrie
Boeing E-3-B Sentry

 
From left to right:
Sukhoi Su-22 UM-3K Fitter
Sukhoi Su-24-A Fencer-C


That Lockheed SR-71-A Blackbird was the first model I made, its the 1987 Monogram model kit, it came with a D-21-A Drone + carriage, I chose to mount the D-21-A on the Blackbird, but it seemed I forgot the mounting module for this D-21-A xD, ah well can't blame it, it was back in '87 ya know haha, amazingly I still have the plane rofl.
Left to right:
 
Lockheed SR-71-A Blackbird + D-21 Drone
Tupolev Tu-22-A Blinder-B
Tupolev Tu-22 M3 Backfire-C aka Tu-26 + Kent Nuclear Cruise Missile


This is a very cool collectors item I have it's boxed and sealed, it has never been opened since it was packed fresh from the Testors factory, this is the first and also the original model kit of the Lockheed F-19 Stealth Fighter, this is an ultra rare as it goes within the aircraft modelling world, it's from 1987 and still factory sealed


My latest addition is this Tupolev Tu-160 Blackjack Bomber from the Russian Air Force, it consists of 621 parts including plastic, metal and rubber parts, this is a 5 star level model, it'sthe most difficult model rank for this aircraft type, still need the correct paint and new paint brushes to take on this final build.
