2024 has been quite fruitful for new additions (mostly cheap secondhand ones) and my collection has just passed the 3,000 aircraft mark. I started collecting 400 scale around 2010 so that's about 214 models a year, which sounds a little crazy. In my defence I rarely spend a lot on individual models and only 42 of my collection cost me more than $60 (and 23 of those are custom models). Anyway the random addition that marks model 3,000 is this Challenge Air Cargo 707 from the old AV400, which set me back £22. I've recently slightly expanded into US 1990s cargo carriers.
I know my collection is large but I've seen several quite a lot larger than mine. I'm a little bit of a snob as I don't count the sort of 'collection' that guy who displays at Shannon airport has since his appears to be a mess of scales and airlines - more like a horde than a real collection. Anyway I'd be interested to understand how large other forum members fleets are so drop a reply below.
