I had a look through the T Gunn current and retired planes and there are some great planes from many eras and theartres.

The Sunderland Flying Boat is stunning but with a length of 39 inches and wingspan of 41 inches it is huge. Other favourites include,

Japanese Rufe - interesting looking plane.
Lysander - which i have, it is great looking plane.
WOW284 Taube - beautiful model of a beautiful aircraft.
WOW011 HS123 Russia Winter 1942 - which i have and was a great workhorse on the Eastern Front.
WOW067 Blohm and Voss BV 141 - strange looking aircraft.
WOW253 Hansa CC Flying Boat - which i have, it is great looking plane.
Lancaster - oh come on it's a Lancaster.

There are a few more but have to have a cut off somewhere, I also have a few other manufacturers, including a Mosquito and winter Stuka from Figarti and 18 K & C [9 German, 8 British and 1 Japanese].
But I also have Thomas Gunn wish list,
British - Walrus, Blenheim, Beaufort, Hampden and the Albacore
German - JU88, BV222 Wiking, ME321/323 [The wingspan would be huge, close to 50 inches]
No American planes, just not 'my bag', nothing wrong with them, but we all have our preferences, have the K & C P40 in RAF desert camo and would like a Liberator in a RAF Coastal Command markings.

What are your current favourites and wish list?
 
I’ve got several TGM aircraft in my collection. They are extremely well made, well detailed, and just really nice models all around. I really like how TGM tackles some really unique subjects one can’t even find model kits of, particularly in the large 1/30 scale. My aircraft are all smaller “fighter-sized” planes from the WWII era, but address both early war aircraft and then late war experimental/conceptual aircraft. The Gunn models are not cheap, but when one figures they are individually hand-made and have production runs of around 5 or less, the cost makes a little more sense... Here’s some pics of my collection:

The guy with the umbrella reminds me of Sylvester McCoy from Dr Who [think someone else has already said this on the forum]I am waiting for the Japanese Rufe to be re-released and/or will get the Taube, do not collect much from WW1 but i saw one and it is an outstanding standalone piece.
 
I only have ONE from TG, it's the Fw190 :smile2:
