Here's my commercial vehicles...

I'll start with my aircraft. I have completed the largest collection of small commercial aircraft in 1/72 scale over the last couple years. Here they are:

After all that, the only cars and trucks I have so far are these....

 

This is a Ford Model T I built for someone as a gift:

I have two more in the stash to build. I'll have to get on those.

 

 

And finally, my automotive Magnum Opus, a 1/12th scale of the 1911 Christie Fire Truck:

Well, that's all my commercial vehicles I have so far. Now let's see all of yours!

Thanks Guys! Bob, I love that Christie too, I'd been wanting one ever since I was a kid and finally got it in San Diego at their model contest! It scared the crap outta me when I first opened the box, but I dove right in. It's such an awesome kit!

 

Gil, I do only build my ships OOB, so no fancy rigging or P/E, (although I did rig a couple) but I like how these turned out. I have one more IMEX ship to build, the Bahrain, and then I'll have finished the entire range of IMEX ships. I also picked up the Lindbergh kit of the Presidential liner that I want to start soon too.

 

Thanks again for the great replies guys!
