December 13, 2013 – Houston… We’ve got a big problem!

I still have the same problem I had seven years ago, maybe even worst.

You may call it a big collection if you want…

I would call it more a big problem.

When to start building my big unbuilt collection of model airplane kits, and then, where to display them afterwards when they are built? I have been reading this blog and I know that my problem is shared by many model builders.

Pat Murphy is a model builder who does not have a problem with his collection. He works as a volunteer in a museum in Victoria, British Colombia. He contributed to one of my blogs I write about a Spitfire squadron in WWII. You can see what he did to pay homage to Spitfire pilots.

Impressive work isn’t?

And what about that untold story behind my B-29, sitting on the box of an unbuilt Revell 1/48th scale B1-B bomber on top a bookcase, which is gathering dust and is easy prey to my scared cats…?

I use a can of compress air to move the propellers around when my two year-old grandson visit me.

You should have seen the look in his eyes. Sorry folks no picture of my grandson, only my cats…

Maybe my grandson will get hooked on building airplane model kits like his grandfather was back in 1958, and, one day, build some with him.

Can cats help in building model airplanes?


This is where I stand right now…

    haha, you know better, Pierre! I love cats, but they aren’t about to share the attention!!
    You collection is remarkable! Maybe you should start your own museum…….

      I will give them away like I did in 1973 when I moved out from my parents’ place. I gave most of them to my students in my history class. One student brought one back to show what he had done with it… He had painted it orange! It was a Ju 87G with a winter camouflage on the Russian front. I said nothing…
