Speechless as usual, Santiago!
Congratulations!
Than you very much.
My Father will do two Dornier Do24 (RAF and RAAF) before starting our next project.

Can I ask what air museum houses this amazing collection of aviation history your father has created?
Hi Tom
To be honest, we have 3 display cabinets in my parent's house.
This is just a small part of our collection.
We have 1.187 models done and we have much more kits to do.
Have you heard about out goal?
Cheers
Santiago
I am officially gobsmacked. 🙂
Ha ha. You could be able to find some of our series here.
These are our two largest display cabinet. We have a third one a bit smaller.

Wow, what an amazing collection of Fulmars, Santiago @diamant01
Definitely still on my wishlist, although I think I will stick with one.
Very impressive this amount and all equally beautiful.
Hi John
Thank you very much.
Yes, I fully understand you but we have this type of approach to the hobby.
The last project about the P40 involved 126 models the largest series in our collection just behind the Spirtifire (123) and Hurricane (111).

Santiago
Impressive collection. Well done!
Hi Gary,
Thanks. I am glad you like it.
Cheers
Amazing, obviously the Fulmar is not an endangered species.
Hi George,
Thank you very much. Totally agree.

A beautiful collection! I need to get my Fulmar built (yep - probably just one!).
Thank you very much Greg.
One is better than nothing ha ha
Wonderful collection once again Santiago.
