Title: Hello from Belgium
Post by: Tricky on July 22, 2015, 12:25:14 PM: Hi all,

So here is a little post for introducing myself.
My name is Cédric and I'm from Belgium near Liège/Luik.
I'm 37 years old.
Since i'm Young, the fighter jets are a passion for me. I got a lot of collectables as diecast, pictures,... and recently, i started to build my ACES II. Right now, i don't know if i'll make my complete pit. The reason is simple, it's a lot of money. But the seat is a good beginning.
I hope to find a lot of ideas, advices and all i'll need.

What diecast models do you collect? I myself collect mainly metal diecast 1/72 F-16 models, Dragon Models, Witty Wings, Gemini, etc... still looking for a few though.

Post by: Tricky on July 22, 2015, 03:52:14 PM: 1/72 and bigger scales are more detailed but you need more rooms.
All my collection is in 1/200 and from Gemini200, Inflight200, Hogan M-Serie, Herpa,...
It's a small scale but it's really well detailed.
I'd like to build the 1/32 Tamiya F-16CJ.

Post by: tiger-31 on July 22, 2015, 03:55:43 PM: Hogan does have some nice models. I especially like the camouflage versions, so I mainly collect these myself. Still want to get the Cas Vipers model, and the Alaskan Agressor in 1/72 though...
Title: Re: Hello from Belgium
Post by: Tricky on July 22, 2015, 04:13:51 PM: Yeah, i got the 3 schemes camouflage of the 18th Aggressor Sqn (AK). All from Hogan and Herpa.
I got the F-15C from Gulliver200 and F-15E from Hogan. Very hard to find.

Post by: tiger-31 on July 22, 2015, 04:17:10 PM: I have the blue scheme, and the white gray black scheme. Still looking for the green-brown-sand pattern one... at a bargain price :lolsign:

Post by: Sandman on July 23, 2015, 12:52:06 AM: Hey, welcome to the forum!

I noticed you have already begun collecting parts for your ACES II- Great place to get started.

Take time to read over some of the older build threads to get ideas. There are plenty of fellow pit-builders to help you along the way!

Post by: Tricky on July 23, 2015, 03:45:45 AM: This is exactly what i've done.
One more time, thanks for the advices :thumbsup:
