cheers Dan !
yeah they kinda crept up on me had to stop getting the ones with the triangular base as there's another 12 to complete the set and i am running out of room and they were taking up all my spare cash !

 

[Airframes]

Nice! I too hadn't realised you had so many Karl.

I do like those, especially since I am filling up shelf space with die cast models myself. I saw several that I have also. I think the IXO models are great for the variety they have available but much of their detail is painted on rather than surface / panel lines in the die cast.
Which maker is that for the triangular base? I hadn't seen those before.
Regards,
Derek

Strewth Karl...you DO have a good sized collection, look good too mate!

 

[Migrant]

I've never really looked closely at diecasts before (I'm a plastic guy) but those look very nice, and an excellent choice of subjects. Are they all 'as they come', or have you done any modifications or re-painting yourself?

 

[mkloby]

Hey Karl - a lot of those look like IXO models. How is the quality of them?

 

[Njaco]

Cool Karl! Love to have those Bf 109s!! They look pretty decent with the detail and camo (except for that one Fw 190 Gelb 12 - all those colors hurt my eyes! )

they are all as they came no modifications the round base IXO models were being sold of in a local discount shop £10 for 3 !

the triangle based ones are from here Atlas Editions: Duelling Fighter Planes die-cast metal models and are better quality but are only available in the U.K

but i think i've seen em on e-bay for sale and there is 20 pairs of them !!!! but i cancelled mine after six as they were costing £20 a pair plus postage

Holy Mother of God! That's a FEW! Where will you be spacewise when you've built the same number of 1/48 crates?
