Throughout the years, I have collected a number of vintage and recent RC kits, Control Line kits and Rubber Power kits. These are mostly kits of which I could only dream when I was young and when I didn't have the money to acquire them...

The great names of aeromodelling were Svenson, Goldberg, Sig, Top Flite and Graupner along with Pica and many others.

The kits in my possession and shown below are all unassembled unless mentioned otherwise. My kits are normally not for sale, but if you're interested in a particular one, we can always talk about it...

Furthermore, I have a nice collection vintage RC engines, an extensive collection of old transmitters and finally, a large collection of plastic kits for static display.

If you own a vintage kit you'd like to sell, I may be interested. I'm most interested in Svenson RC kits.

This is a tribute to the Belgian made Svenson kits. Svenson had a good reputation and was our national pride. They had some very nice designs, see below...

Carl Goldberg made some beautiful designs. How can one not like the graceful lines of the Falcon, Skylark and Skylane series? Sadly, their later Sky Tiger and Eaglet series were not as nice anymore.

Graupner really had the nicest kits around. German quality at it's best.

Below are some photos of  my engine collection, consisting of mostly of vintage 70's and 80's engines of 44 different brands. The collecton consists of 250+ engines. Most of these are two strokes, but I do own a small number of  four strokes as well and two Wankels!

A dedicated webpage on my engine collection can be found here

Saito FA-90TS twin and Merco 120 flat twin

From time to time, I build a static display model from plastic or resin kits. My preferred scale is 1/72 for military aircraft and 1/144 for airliners. Unfortunately, like so many other modellers, I tend to buy more kits than I can build, so now I have a collection of 800+ kits... I'm a member of the scalemates community, so you can find me there.

Meanwhile, I let you enjoy some of the 150+ models in my display cabinet with the photographs shown below.

1/72 models of USAF military aircraft

1/144 models of SABENA airliners

1/72 models of US NAVY and Russian military aircraft (together with a scale model of my own design, the Interceptor...)
