How does that compare with Peter Farrars collection of solids that was featured in RAF Flying Reviews in the 60s? That was pretty vast.

Kiwi,Peter Farrar hit the 1,000 model mark for 1/72 nd scale models,I recently located some of his original models and are hoping to acquire a few examples as a reminder of this fascinating collection.
This record breaking collection are to a tiny 1/216 th scale,a remarkable achievement in one persons lifetime.
