im interested in vehicles/tanks from ww1, planes and vehicles/ships from ww2, choppers from vietnam and modern aircraft. also interested in cars that no one else would prob like. for instance im somewhat obsessed with mg hatchbacls from the 80's,would love to get one (or an old alfa romeo spider) and do an engine swap. a model would be cool too though.

also cisco i was showing my friend some of your work here on acd, his dad as i mentioned is huge into models, hes been published in fine scale models mag and such. hes got quite a display/collection. going to try and get him to get some pics of his dads stuff for you. he just has to ask his dad and tag the pics and such.

Lol its like that tiger tank one you could buy n build it looked pretty good until you realise its an early interior in a late model tank !! you could buy a much better detailed model for mucho cheaper , and you would have all the bits at once ! :shock: :lol:
