A Tour Of My Giant 450+ Model Aircraft Collection - Winter 2023

[@Aviation18]

Just a couple mistakes to point out. After going through over 400 aircraft, I end up subconsciously saying the wrong subtypes of aircraft despite actually knowing them. - Both the Air NewZealand and Etihad 787's are -9's, but for some reason I say -8.

impressive! i believe im at 31 or so right now.

[@Rycraft11_Edits]

what's funny is that you probably spent around 2500-3500 dollars.

[@Aviation18]

That's awesome!

[@Youtub77W]

Waw!! New collection video! Thank you very much! Phoenix announced F-GSQA Air France 777-300ER in 1:400! This model could match with your Dulles model airport since this plane (which has the 4 classes config) fly to IAD AF54/55. This flight number will soon change to AF50/51 if I’m not wrong.

[@Aviation18]

Thank you and wow, I will definitely have to look into getting that!

[@catsnchords]

Pretty impressive. Love your shelves. I'm up to 170 models.

[@Aviation18]

Thanks and that's awesome!

[@Wings_ofFIRE]

Wow, your collection is huge and admirable, I’m on 2 aircraft’s so far! Feels surreal to be this early

[@Aviation18]

Thank you

[@anthonywinebarger]

pretty nice update! I saw that Aeroclassics has an Il-18 in the Air Koryo livery, so there's a suggestion if you're looking into expanding the fleet

[@Aviation18]

Thanks man and oh wow, I will definitely have to look at that!

[@Aviation18]

Thanks man

[@GoldenEmpire-nr8hl]

Do you have at least 1 Philippine airlines in your collection

[@Aviation18]

Unfortunately Philippine airlines don't fly into the DC area so no

[@tylerscott8647]

Air NZ never had 787-8s, it was always 787-9s. Just wanted to let you know, keep up the fantastic videos 🎉

[@kitrobson6095]

I love your collection, just wanted to let u know at 26:19 it looks like the nose gear of your Qatar a350 is bent backwards. Should be an easy fix

[@Aviation18]

Thank you and good catch! I shall fix that

[@GravelAviation]

Your southwest models are nice

[@Aviation18]

Thank you

[@Zeniththedragon5]

Damn that's a lot of Planes! I have been looking to get into Airliner Models, but I have a Fairly Tight Budget, so I would like to ask: 1: What is a Good Company to buy for Beginners which aren't too expensive, and 2: What is the best Website to buy Airplane Models from in the UK?

[@Aviation18]

Thank you and unfortunately it is a pretty expensive hobby and if you want to start a collection I would advise saving for Gemini Jets or NG models. As of where to get them, I would recommend the aircraft model store, linked in the description

[@SAY_NO_TO_R151]

Recommendation: delta a330neo delta a350 and delta a320 also a Singapore airlines a350 by ng the deltas by Gemini jets very good models

[@Aviation18]

Thanks for the recommendations!

[@geo.m1639]

I think it would be great to see you make a 1:400 Retro LHR with all those utopia BA planes?

[@Aviation18]

That's a really good idea!

[@Helloeveryone551]

Question where do you buy your models i want to start collecting more plane models but struggle to find places to buy them.

[@spaghettisplator]

Nice, are you having any Cathay Pacific's 777 300 ER? Loved that plane

[@Aviation18]

Thanks and unfortunately Cathay Pacific ended service into IAD in 2020, so I won't be collecting any more of their aircraft unless they return

[@uglyburgerO]

How many GSE packs do you have????

[@Aviation18]

Quite a lot, I can't really remember

[@anttirytkonen11]

I can't help thinking that the thumbnail looks like the Mojave Desert or something. "Welcome to the Eighteenth Desert". 😜 By the way, shouldn't that Icelandair "NatGeo" livery B757 be next to the other Icelandair aircraft? 😉

[@Aviation18]

Haha true and you're right, it would make sense to have it with the Icelandair aircraft but it doesn't usually operate Icelandair flights, so I like to keep it with some of the private aircraft

[@muhammadraza9163]

Amazing

[@Cod3nameHurricane]

I suggest building a model airport so you can make all these models more alive

[@giuseppebrucculeri6223]

“It’s to complete the airport”

[@kerstinmcloughlin331]

Where did you get the cabinets?

[@julianbeallion]

20:24 the nz 787 is a -9 🤓

[@jetblueaviation2757]

For real, and he's had like 4 mistakes In this video, which is surprising, and he should have said 787-9 for Etihad and Air New Zealand

[@Aviation18]

That's my fault, of course I know it's a -9, it's just after repeating certain aircraft types over and over I find I say it subconciously

[@ranrom9514]

Hello, as a new collector, may you please tell eme where you get these

[@valeriawinklerova7430]

so cool planes bro uou are my favirout youtuber i have now over 645 planes and 8 747

[@LightningMcqueen02]

Thats is honestly so cool and the star wars ANA 787-9 livery has a place in my heart since it was apparently the first flight from sydney to handeda if i remeber and we got certificates from the pilots and i cant remeber if it was the pilot or the first officer but he had my name though my mom said it prolly wasnt my kanji but it would be cool if it was. But may i ask you a question if you dont mind. How much money do you approx spent on the entire collection? You dont need to andswer if you dont feel comfortable Ps. I want to break into your home to steal those models bc i dont have the money and my parents will probably not get one 😅

[@Aviation18]

That's awesome and it's hard to say because how much I have spent on my collection is a different question to how much it's worth as a lot of these models appreciate in value over time. I don't know how much I've spent exactly but the average price of a model is £40, so if I have 400 models in my collection, we can simply times 40 by 400 which is £16,000, equivalent to around $20,000 USD. The average price for a lot of these models now, is around £60 to £80, so if I were to sell them, it's likely that my entire collection is worth upwards of £28,000, equivalent to around $34,000 USD. However this could easily be higher or lower and is a very rough estimate.

[@LightningMcqueen02]
