I like building flying balsa R/C models of WWI Aircraft. Here's one of the latest. It is a German Fokker DR-1.

Ive been collecting models for a number of years ... got a shelf full of unbuild models in their boxes ( probably 100 to 150 ) , usually get them at garage sales or sales of some sort, i got some just for the parts. Any body looking for something special or i sure would make a deal on the whole bunch of them. Ive got cars planes boats semi trucks, farm tractors, visible man woman v8 engine brain ear nose horse ect. Army tanks guns ect.
