Well, I’ve finally given in and decided that I’m going to start a model collection that will be worth something. I’ve got some very basic 1/600 models but they aren’t very detailed and so as I passed through Munich Terminal 2 today I decided to start collecting Herpa 1/500 models. I’ve starting off with a Lufthansa 737-300:
and a Team Lufthansa Dash 8-300 operated by Augsburg Airways
Not ver exciting models I know, but I’ve decided to buy models of all the aircraft I’ve been on, starting with this weekends tri[ to Dresden. Sadly I couldn’t find a decent CRJ200 as they were all in the wrong livery.
The picture above of the Dash 8 is in fact slightly different to the model I’ve got. My model seems to be slightly more detailed an has Augsburg Airways above the front few windows.
I’ve only just released that they are 1/500 models and not 1/400 so I can’t buy Gemini Jets, but I think I’ll stick with these for now.
Opinions are welcome 😀

Just experienced something very embarrassing on ebay a second ago when I wanted to pay for my latest model (see below). The transaction was refused due to insufficient funds. I’ve had to now chip into my holiday money for March to pay for it, but it looks as if it will be worth every last penny – £14.50!
The A380 is the one A330Crazy won recently, along with many others! He is more addicted that I am! 😀
The model is a Dragonwings Boeing 777-300 in the Thai Airways Intl colours. Very nice!

The easyJet is a Wooster model on a 1:200, therefore plastic.
My Excel Airways 737-800 measures 8 inches in length and a 7 inch wingspan.
