Aircraft Models Crux

Wow, that was fast.

Exactly one year ago, I bought my very first miniature model as a whim. I didn’t foresee myself becoming serious with the hobby, branching out to fantasy minis and cars, and getting featured on TV.

After a year of collecting, my entire aircraft fleet now consists of 23 planes (16 civilian and 7 military). As if display space isn’t a huge problem of mine, I fooled myself to buying 9 Dungeons & Dragons minis and 2 collector’s cars (both cheaply manufactured Ferraris).

Five of those 23 planes were recent purchases from the US, and I just picked them up this morning from the post office. (More on my first overseas planes purchase on a future post.) In the meantime, here are some fleet pics to commemorate my “anniversary” as a miniature model collector (click for full versions):

Two Cebu Pacific planes (both of which were previously in my wishlist), 2 Philippine Airlines planes in old livery, and 2 PAL planes in current livery.
