Spitfire collection that beats duxford

A magnificent obsession, I feel guilty about pointing out a mistake with one of the RNZAF aircraft, it appears he has based his RNZAF Corsair on the one previously operated by the Alpine Fighter Collection which was an early “Birdcage” Corsair, a model never used by the RNZAF. The RNZAF Corsairs were all Chance Vought F4U-1, F4U-1D and Goodyear FG-1D, none of which had the “Birdcage” type canopy…………………sorry.:o

If you can provide me more details on this i will pass it onto them for you. Im sure they would apreciate any help like that.

Jeez what a collection !!. Absoloutley loved the Mossie’s {cant wait for the 1/24 at the end of the year}

I’m certainly jealous! I could barely make a half-decent Revell Spit VB (the EP120 kit), never mind all that lot!

lovely collection…we have one model of each mk in the BDAC model collections which runs into 1000s…..none made by me (I am pleased to say cos I am poo at such things!).

Blimey….you’d need a big bedroom ceiling to hang that lot from! 😀

You are correct they do work together. I regulary email them with infomation and gathering material for a project i am working on. They are currantly working on all the CAC aircraft and after that i believe they are tackling the Hurricane.

Here are some other articles on the collection:

Mr. Hrubisko is a prolific modeller who i believe works with his son now to create what they call ‘sub collections’ within a theme. If I remember rightly they have just completed modelling every variant of Boomerang and are now concentrating on other CAC types to complete that collection. I think they sometimes post updates on the Hyperscale site.

Heaven knows what they’ll tackle next.
