Default Started my Skymarks collection today

I have been telling myself for ages to get to Hobbyworld and start buying some Skymarks models and finally got around to it today. I started off with the 29th Anniversary RAAF B707 and the new QantasLink Q400.

Anybody else on the site collect models?

I buy a model plane whenever I fly with an airline I've never flown with before. At the moment, I'm trying to search for an Asiana model plane. I went to Hobbyco in Rhodes the other day but couldn't find it.

I only collect 1/400 models of aircraft that I've actually seen as it at least limits the number. I've got some great ones tho...jetstar avis, cathay A330 in 100th livery, DHL DC9, JAL 747 'Samurai Blue', most of the Qantas special schemes, Virgin Blue 737 50th, Australian 767, Air Canada 767 'eagle' livery, China Airlines A330 'sweet' livery and many more. One of the nicest is the 'Iron Maiden' 757. Most of these can't be purchased any more so are collectors items.
