How I started collecting model aircraft - My SkyMarks 1:200 Collection

No need to imagine.....

[@Redriveraviation]

Awesome! Love AF1, SWA, UAL! That BA 744 first one looks amazing. The 788 lol. Excited for the 1:200 aircraft to come in!

[@Aviation18]

Thanks man!!

[@MileHigh_Aviation]

Very nice collection 👍👍

[@Aviation18]

Thanks man!

[@CitrusAviation]

That is a nice SkyMarks collection! I also started with SkyMarks/Hogan 1:200 models as well Oh, I know what that new 1:200 models is!

[@Aviation18]

Thanks mate! True collectors started on these Beauts 😂 and 😉

[@aviationjfk6523]

Awesome the video. great to see how the aviation18 fleet has evolved👍

[@Aviation18]

Thanks man!

[@moreedcola6837]

I don’t get why people say Skymarks is bad, they’re great! Found a BAE 146-300 at a car boot sale for decently cheap, and it looks lovely. Probably because they’re made by Daron who are known for their line of subpar toy planes.

[@danielrichardson4868]

its great that they provide a product for 5 to 85 year olds, and from 10 dollars to 500, kudos to them, great company, great for all lovers of aviation like us :)

[@cupcakexoxo9131]

Again aviation 18 making our Tuesdays great

[@Aviation18]

Thanks man!

[@thomasadams3164]

The second BA 747 and virgin 747 are made by Premier planes I also have them and got them at Gatwick as well. I also started collecting plastic 1:200 models but now I collect diecast 1:400 models

[@EKC2024]

Thanks man! I really appreciate it

[@doug9066]

I have a Inflight200 Air Force One which had arrived yesterday, very nice plane which I finally met my goal on buying one this year. I'm starting to slow down on buying for a while plus have downsized my 1:200 scale planes.

[@AARONAVIATION]

For Dulles, you could cut out the part of your runway, and just put it on the floor for whenever you do an airport update. After you are done, you can just put somewhere. If you still don’t understand what I am saying, then just ask me. Nice video!!!

[@Aviation18]

that's a good idea and I have something else in mind, I plan on using the old Runway piece from the Old Dulles board and Thanks man!

[@AARONAVIATION]

No problem!!! Thanks for this amazing content!!! Can’t wait for the next Dulles update! You are the one who got me into making videos! 😁😃🤗

[@BradleyPennyAviation]

Great video! Love you’re channel!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

Been collecting airplanes in some form since 1996. Yes, it is a very addictive hobby.

[@Aviation18]

wow, you must have a nice collection! and Agreed, my bank account id taking the punishment

[@nodflenders1248]

I just started collecting and my first was a Skymarks MD-11 UPS model.

[@FunniGaming]

my first model was a skymarks qantas nalanji dreaming 747-300 1:200!

[@sliferxxxx]

If anyone cares, I started collecting in '96. First models were 1:600 Schabaks, that I bought in Puerto Rico. Being from the Caribbean, it was difficult to collect models. Moved to the US in '01 and found a spot at Aventura Mall (south Florida) that sold herpa 1:500 models. Collection took off fro. There. Almost all of my 240+ models are 1:500 and imo, the best model maker is probably starjets. Herpa is good but in the early days , herpa messed up using unrealistic landing gear and no registration on earlier models.....

[@avgjoeavglife]

Good Video. Skymarks is for adults, Just a different material then metal. And i have the A380 and 787, Plus tons more.

[@mja72]

Skymarks are manufactured by Risesoon in Taiwan. Buy them directly from Risesoon as they all have gears and added details which the SM models do not have and the prices are the same if not less than SM and great shipping costs from Taiwan. RS also have alot of obscure and rare models not usually sold online.

[@Aviation18]

Oh wow, that's good info, Thanks man!

[@FlyersAviation]

Nice one!

[@stevensaviationspotting]

Flyer’s Aviation Indeed, hi mate!

[@jasondutton9804]

I've got a few sky marks models along with Daron Risesoon Gemini inflight and 1 or 2 others yes some are better quality than others but it comes down what you can afford and what you are prepared to pay. I have found in a couple of my more expensive ones the quality was not much better than the cheaper models so just be aware of that the chances of you getting the absolute perfect model is slim. But my advice is just be happy with your collection if it makes you happy that's all that matters. And I don't see any of my sky marks models or any other of my snap fit models as toys great video 😁👍.

[@theepicbirb7154]

I just got my first model yesterday, and it's a Skymarks 777-300ER in the current British Airways version, 1:200 model, even though all the antennas and those types of details arent in these models, im going to be buyjng a lot more skymarks models since they are very affordable

[@Uk_transport]

Nice video!

[@stevensaviationspotting]

Harry’s Aviation Indeed it was mate, hi!

[@Aviation18]

Thanks

[@ASAviation]

Sick collection man, I believe those BA and VS 744's are made by Premier Planes 1/250 scale. I have that same UA 777 in 1/200 scale!

[@Aviation18]

Thanks mate and nice, they could very well be because I got them ages ago and I didn't know anything about them

I don't like Gemini Jets too much because they're Expensive and their landing gear is sooooo DELICATE and also they break to much, what do you think?

Thanks man and sure, just wait until it's up and running and leave that as a comment on my first update

[@fleetser07]

Okay 👍

[@Kidsfurnitureusa]

Also started with skymarks being 2 years ago and have a ng models a year later. Imo skymarks is like a secondary to me if I can’t find the ones I’m looking for. Nice video by the way

[@Aviation18]

Awesome! and Thanks man!

[@eatchocolate9713]

Will you be getting the Brexit force one in 1:200

[@jonahbreton1261]

if you get a widebody, go for the Delta A330-300 or A330-900NEO

[@CarlosVargas-xp7nm]

Excellemt video

[@Aviation18]

Thanks

[@aviationmco]

Awesome video man! I really liked it.

[@aviation22]

Starting out collecting 1/200, I can relate. 😅 I got my first Sky Marks, a Delta 747-400 in 2011.

[@Aviation18]

I remember seeing the Delta 747 in their leaflet and I really wanted it 😂

[@aviation22]

@@Aviation18 lmao

[@jeffreyzheng8875]

Do you have 1:500 as well? I'm planning on collecting them.

[@PlaneVide0]

Those are very small I got a 1:400 scale plane it’s smaller then my finger

Any tips on where to get hold of discontinued Skymarks aircraft? Looking for Monarch G-ZBAA in 1:100 scale. :)

The collection is really nice! And when is the unboxing?

Thanks and I will have one out on Sunday

@@Aviation18 sounds great! did you see the GJ new releases yet?

[@Ar43ar]

Where did you buy the southwest 737 from?

[@ericstevens5433]

will you sell the british airways concorde?

[@AARONAVIATION]

For a video idea, you could do a voiceover on the storage of planes during this pandemic.

[@Aviation18]

That's a good idea, That's what i tried to do with the Bournemouth video but for a wider reach and looking at airports all around the globe that would be good

[@AARONAVIATION]

Gotcha.... thanks!!!

[@Aviation18]

Thanks, awesome and I am planning on that, I'm just waiting to see what happens to Air Force one because if Trump gets elected into a second term the livery will change, but I'm planning on getting the 747-200 varient anyway as well because that looks better than the -8 in my opinion 😂

[@eddftraveler7627]

Wow Thanks @Aviation18 I followed you on instagram and I subscribed to your channel , u are an awesome guy , please make the air force one video soon...

[@aviationairprogram882]

Amazing collection ❤️❤️❤️

[@Aviation18]

Thank You

[@alexaviation4202]

Can I please have a sub route on your next airport update???

[@mpaul2012]

The Air Force One at 1:35 and the the British Airways 747 at 3:52 are Hogan aircraft not Skymakrs. Hogan 747s have those cockpit windows and weird noses lol. Skymark 747s are more accurate Unfortunately the decapitated house colour planes are Skymarks and some others on there.

[@bananafruit1469]

@Aviation 18, can you tell me where you got your united airlines 777-300er 1/400? I need one for my airport.

[@Aviation18]

I originally got it from AMS when it first came out but if you wait a month, Gemini just released another in the new livery in 1/200 and that usually means they release it in 1/400 the following month

[@slice0f_pi]

I do say, not all the models there are sky marks. I also have that British Airways 747 with gear and its from hogan wings

[@Aviation18]

Yeh, I messed up with that, I thought they were all Skymarks

[@ericstevens5433]

ohh it is i seen the stand the british airways is a hogan wings, and the air force one i'm like 99.9% sure it's a hogan because it looks like the material used for the model is a bit thinner than a skymarks as i would put it, i don't mean hogan is bad at all most of hogans are more detailed and better in my opinion than skymarks but yeah, the skymarks have a thicker look to them if that makes any sense? lol and the AIR FORCE ONE in skymarks is a 1:250 scale idk why but it is.

[@reecewakeling1254]

The smaller models might be made by Premier planes. That is what most airports and airlines sell for people who want model planes from what I've seen.
