MOPED ARMY

Here is the next batch of pictures....

Here is the AMPS or International Hobbies line. There are a lot of different models of this line but these are all I have. Beautiful scale version and gas powered under the cowling. One even has an after market electric starter.

K&B Line with the OS and Super Tiger engines. These are still available and there are a lot more models of the K&B line but the ones I have are the oldest or first year models.

Here are the most modern of the Outboards made. I am not impressed with these but they add to the collection. As a side note there are also some rare inboard engines and inboard drive systems from the 50s in this picture.

I hope you have enjoyed the pictures.

Here’s a few of his kits.

He’s got enough to open his own vintage hobby shop. I have a Dallaire Sportster kit to put together some day. I think it has a 78” or 80” wing span, so it would be my largest build ever. I think i enjoy building them just as much or even more than flying them.

It’s boggles my mind what he has accumulated in just the past year. He also has dozens of fully assembled planes.

One plane i always wanted to build is the Pacemaker. The overwhelming majority of free flight planes are high wing cabin designs because of their low center of gravity. The Pacemaker is a low wing design with i good bit of dihedral built into the wing to increase stability. I just love the far forward position and balloon tires of vintage designs, which was mainly done to protect the prop on landing, but i just like the look.

My grandpa was so into those planes. Had dozens in his basement. Fuck my family for not saving at least one for me when he passed. I was the only other one on that side of the family with any mechanical inclination at all.

I have F1 cars. Ferrari 312T2, and 312 T4, Tyrrell P34, Lotus 72D, Renault RE30, and an Auto Union D-type.

All limited editions. Insane detail. Well worth the money I spent 20 years ago. Not so much nowadays, prices are insane. If I could afford more, I've lusted after..............................

Those are NOT your typical die cast. Nice, but I think a few steps above my class.

Here are couple of Yorkshire work trucks.

^ Super cool! Hood open?

Maybe one day i can afford some of one for wall art.

Very cool! :)
