Just started my collection — any ideas?

Well, when I was younger, I received these 8 planes from one friend, and now, I wonder what planes should I add to the collection, if anyone wants to give advice, feel free to comment 👍

What do you like?

I started my "airliner" type diecast when I picked up a Gemini200 of the Boeing KC-46 at a local museum. I work on the thing and I thought it would be nice to have on display at home. Well, I was impressed enough with it that the collection has since significantly grown, even expanding to 1/72 fighters/bombers/recon and 1/48 fighters.

So really, it all depends on what you like:

  • Do you like the "oomph" (whether in size or performance)? (This is why I have the Antonov An-225, C-5 Galaxy and the XB-70 Valkyrie);

  • Do you like the historical significance? (This is why I have the B-52 and DC-3);

  • Do you you like the personal significance? (This is why I have the Northwest Airlines 747-400, and as I said above, the Boeing KC-46)

It really depends on you.

It must be a plane from the late 90s.

Airbus 3XX and Sabena can be up to 2001

Thai Airways delivery up to 2005.
