Not only impressive, TOTALLY AWESOME, the collection should be in an aviation museum. Thanks for sharing.

This video was so sincere and beautiful. It’s made me misty eyed for sure. A wonderful tribute to your late father and his work.

What a beautiful model collection. Being a modeler since 1965, I understand that this is not just a collection. It's a huge part of your father and his interest and skill in the hobby. Didn't surprise me that he also built the display shelves. Non modelers don't get it. Peace to you and yours from America. :)

This collection is by far the best ive seen and the organisation and presentation is incredible!

Consider a museum . This collection will live for ever . Thank you .

Truly amazing! If I may take some of your time to read this message. Your father was a perfectionist. His experience of making cabinets has shone through. Everything you look at these as I do will give you happiness and pleasure. I collect diecast model aircraft and I do this as hopefully they shall be worth something for my daughter to remember me by in the years to come. It is quite simply a truly staggering collection my friend. If only I could retreat what your late father did time and time again. Take care and all the best from the UK my friend

Hi Ray. I do hope the collection was sold complete . It would be such a shame for that not to happen. I presume by now a deal has been done it would be terrific and a lasting legacy if a museum were to be the fortunate recipients. Terrific collection and l think some rare editions. Thankyou for giving us the privilege of seeing your father's passion.

Beautiful and awesome collection. Your Dad did very good.

Ein Museum ! Danke ! Bin richtig überrascht ! Klasse Maschinen !

A wife's absolute nightmare.

Stunning collection. Immense amount of work there.

I came up in the '60s & '70s and model airplane building was alive & well. Things have changed in the 21st century. Wonderful collection here.

Thank you for posting your video of your Dad's excellent collection of aircraft!

Don't sell them...you'll be sorry...

Beautiful collection. Thanks for showing it.

Beautiful, and finely detailed, collection! Your father was an incredibly skilled modeler!

Wow I am speechless what a awesome collection of aircraft , thanks for sharing !! Thumbs up for sure !!

Stunning. Wish more people kept up the hobby. Just amazing. Thanks

What an absolutely fantastic and highly impressive model collection!

Very impressive collection of beautifully made models.

Amazing collection, Ray.

An aviation historical society that will appreciate this awesome and historical collection . An aviation museum . Do not sell this you may regret it . In these societies devoted to aviation history this collection will live for ever . Once again thank you .

A beautiful collection of very well made models. A museum would be the best place for them.

Beautiful collection.

Very beautiful collection!! Congratulations!!! 👍

Fantastic collection.

Fantastic collection, well displayed too.

Love the P3, C130, and the Massive B2. Fantastic job.

This is a beautiful collection of planes, there all so well put together. Truly a life achievement

Absolutely amazing, and very inspirational. You can tell he put a lot of care and dedication into that collection! Also if we look at the numbers, at 148 models, if he had have theoretically completed 1 per month, it would take more than 12 years to have completed them all. A truly staggering amount of work went into that collection :)

Thanks for allowing us all to have a look.

Absolutely a stellar collection.

Some real works of art there. Beautiful models.

Gentleman's scale, just like me. I hope this collection went somewhere that will treasure it...

Such a beautiful collection.

Amazing collection thanks for posting this

Gorgeous collection! Years ago I dreamed of building as many aircraft types as I could. The problem I ran into was OCD. I didn't want to just build a Curtiss P-1. I wanted to build a P-1, P-1a, P-1b etc. The other problem was that I'm poor and live in an apartment, so space is at a premium. Instead, I build a handful of World War 1 aircraft, sticking to the oddballs. I do have one plane in a museum - the Boeing 299, the prototype B-17. As I said, a collection to be proud of.

Incredible collection!

I wouldn't have guessed ALL these models could be found at the 1:72 scale. Impressive/immaculate builds and collection!

Wow, you've got some of Limited Edition, such as Rotodyne, Awesome stuff

Man that's an awesome collection!!

Absolutely amazing!

What an amazing collection!!

Awesome collection of military aircraft ,wow .

Don't understand the dislikes! The man is showing his father's collection! I loved it thxs

Absolutely fantastic art works.

You have to wonder what happens to our collections after we are gone. I imagine most of mine will go to the tip as my kids and grandkids have no interest. Stunning collection from your dad and hopefully it has gone to a deserving collector.

Amazing ..the hustler and Stirling are beautiful

Splendid collection!

Wow what an amazing collection.

I’ve never seen a model of a PaPa three Charlie with the port side crew access door open and the boarding ladder attached. Beautiful touch!

an amazing collection. my Grandfather had a similar one. wish I could've kept one or two of them!

An awesome collection.

Great collection 👍

Great collection!

beautiful work

Great collection. Your dad did a great job.

WOW, I am duly impressed and with good reason. Wow, just wow !!!!!! Thank You for letting us see His (Now Your) collection. I can not express how much I wish I had the money to buy every last model He/You have. Especially being built by someone who obviously had a love for it. They would be adored and guarded with life and limb.

Awesome👍nice detail and paint job👍✌

Magnificent work of your late Father.

3:02 Mirage III. Splendid collection, greetings from Argentina!

Awesome! Fantastic job ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Phenomenal work!

As a 1:72 scale model builder this is really impressive I’ve been building for 3 years now and I only have B25 B29 B18 P36 and the spitfire m3

awesome collection! subbed!

Amazing and wonderful you have all the models of aircraft for theWorld War I, World War II, modern aircraft 👍

Its cool that your dad built the bv-141 and the me-321 being pulled by an he-111z

Great display! I dont envy you packing it all up when its time to move someday.

I built so many of those same kits. Great job committing the collection to video. Lots of rare birds in that collection. ....You might also consider spending a laborious day taking still closeups of details, such as any custom work or detailed painting, then make a collage, and post said collage.

It sure is a beautiful collection.

OMG! I hope you donate it to a museum. That is awesome work!

Wow. Some of those are incredibly obscure.

Beautiful!

Awesome! 👍

perfect collection

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing it..

Such a collection belongs in a museum. Your dad would be commemorated in such a fine way.

Great collection. Hi from Brazil.

very nice and thank you for sharing

I was in VP-48 in the late seventies, early eighties. VP-50 was one of our sister squadrons. You may have been told this before, but the main cabin door on your P-3 model is incorrectly installed. The door opened in and then slid sideways like an airliner. This is not to take away from your work. You have a great collection!

Unique,! Thanks for sharing.

I don't see anyting wrong in selling them. Agree with P. Gerald, bit I think that there must be a lot of parties interested in them as a whole piece of collection or as individual pieces. A musseum might be interested. I wound not be surprice if such a superb collection had not been sold by now. I would keep a complete photographic record of each piece as a memento of my father's interest but I'm gonna be honest as a frustrated modeller , since I myself have tried ton put together some of the planes shown (B25, B17, Corsair..): preserving this collection requires dedicación...time and sharing the very same love and passion obviously invested in them.

Very impresive !

Oh good lord this is beautiful

so incredible!!

Very well built and detailed. I'm about the same timespan having 180 in 72nd scale as well. However, constant relocation had me build a cabinet of clear plexiglass and wood. Each level is about 12 inches high, 32 X 42 inches with 1 to 2 slideout clear shelves. Each section carries like a suitcase when not stacked, everything secured by clear plastic wire and lighted. It stands 7 feet high...it's worked out very nicely except for one thing. It's a sealed cabinet BUT it still has DUST! One thing I found out from my early planes on the ceiling is DUST...no regrets to the hobby though...

My God! This needs to be in its own wing of an aviation museum!

Very, very, very NICE!!!

woow.. what an amazing collection.

That's a lot of work ! 😎👍

Increíble tu colección y el orden que mantienes, congratulaciones

Very cool!🤗

That B2 though... Very Rewarding!!!

fantastic display

very nice!

That is so amazing. Really. I think some museum would be thrilled to have such a collection. One comment: Many of the models look like 1:72, but not all. Some of the larger models, and some of the modern jet fighters are probably 1:48 scale.

Wow....amazing 👍👍

I recognize most of those kits. Many are from the very large Airfix range of 1/72 scale aircraft, some are from Revell, some from Frog, some from Monogram, and some from Heller. Probably other companies as well. I built a great many of these myself over the years, starting way back in the early 1960's.

Very Impressive

Very very beautiful.
