Most of my stuff are cars, but I also have several airplanes.

The cars that I build get extremely detailed. I built a model of my Fiero that is carpeted inside, with seatbelts, a Club on the steering wheel, keys in the ignition, and opened the front compartment and detailed it as well with the spare tire, jack, tire iron, headlights / motors, and a/c equipment.

I'm still working on a Top Fuel car with all the details on it as well. I've got at least $100 in photo etched parts on that damn thing....

Currently I'm building another Lear, a PA 727-200, two C-337s, a BE-18, a Bonanza, and just finished an Aloha 737-200.

Used to have A LOT, and Airfix was my favourite brand for combat aircrafts and helos while Revell won my vote for airliners. Used to live in Douala/Cameroon, where the much better japaneses brands such as Hazegawa were still out of geographical scope, ie, not avialable locally !
Scales also avialable locally in CMR were limited to the tradiotional
-1/144 for airliners except those from Heller (1/125)
-1/72 for combat and helos, whichever the manufacturer.
Sometimes, I flew back with kits, remember a couple of 1/48 Monogram (a P.40 Tomahawk of the "Flying Tigers" and its Nakajima Oscar nemesis)
on another opportunity, brough back a couple of Lindberg kits.
Then I moved up to Europe and I lost any tracks.
Wish I could resume sometimes,provided I get space, lot of space, even if focusing ....
