144ozboy1's Collection

As a retired airline employee, I have a deep-seated love for aviation that has accompanied me throughout my life. To keep this passion alive, I collect 1:200 scale models of airplanes that represent my former workplace in the skies, as well as aircraft I have flown on during trips around the world. Each model serves as a tribute to the fascinating world of flight and sparks cherished memories of my flights and my time in the aviation industry.

My model collection reflects a deep passion and appreciation for aviation history, particularly focusing on Australian airlines like Qantas, Ansett Australia, and Virgin Australia. It’s truly fulfilling to have gathered such a diverse selection over the years, especially those rare models that have seen a remarkable increase in their value. I also cherish the other airlines represented in my collection, including Air France, Air New Zealand, Alaska Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific,Jetstar, KLM, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, V-Australia, and even those from now-defunct carriers like Rex and Tiger Airlines. Each model holds a story, and sharing this collection brings me joy as I connect with others who appreciate the beauty and history of aviation.
