GTPlanet Scale model thread

[Johnny1996]

I'm a little late to the airplane party, but here's this Johnny Lightning Curtiss P-40. I'm not quite sure what scale this is; I've seen it called 1:64 as well as 1:144. Perhaps someone else would know?

Also, where can I find some decent small scale plane models? I'm not really looking for anything specific other than a Concorde. I'm mostly a "buy whatever catches your eye" type.

Matchbox if you really don't care for accurate scale.

Maisto if you do.

I selected out 12 specific planes to be put up in a giant shadowbox I built:

Thank you. 👍

I'll wait until I see something in person before deciding what to go with.

The Venturi Atlantique ay? What made you get that? It's a rather niche machine next to other supercars of the period.

Was always interested in Venturi since Gran Turismo 2. Figured I may as well get myself a model of one.

Long story short my display cabinet is full and I have an opportunity to purchase a great collection of around 80 1:43 models. If it were up to you, how exactly would you display them? In box, clear case, or fully opened? Also what what would you do for a display? A standard cabinet or something custom? Have you seen, built or bought something unique that I can use as inspiration?

Trying to have an answer to all of the missus’ questions well before she asks me how much I’ll be paying for all this

Edit: Just so you have an idea of what the collection entails, here’s 4 I cherry picked from the seller when I met him on Monday.

I missed that this was even a real thing, let alone a model. It looks truly incredible!

It looks like the trunk and bonnet don't sit flush?

Tablet screen, rear passenger climate control, trunk sill, that thing to cover visibility of your trunk.... these are all nice touches.

Thanks for sharing, sir!

Damn, it almost looked like the real one and even the setting, too..

Trunk and front bonnet both sit just fine, but just like your typical Chinese market models, the gaps are much larger than an AA.

I believe the fuel cover and sunroof also open but I didn't take pics of those.

After a long while I got myself an 1:18 scale car again.





That colour is just gorgeous.

 

[XJ40]

Coming along nicely. 30 weeks to go and then it's finished

 

[Carbon_6]

I thought it was relatively small until I saw the third photo.

 

[AOS-]

Where do you intend to display something of that size?

 

[XJ40]

@Carbon_6

1/18 Jordan next to it for scale.

@AOS-

I have no idea where it's going to go because it's simply massive. It seemed like a good idea at the time....

 

[JacoJa]

I have no idea where it's going to go because it's simply massive.

Middle of the dining room table, for sure. No more awkward silences at dinner parties.

What scale is it? It's gigantic!

Eat off the roof. Once finished, send the plate 88mph in the future where it'll be washed by then.


Probably 1/8th scale?
