Some Favorite Sky Busters

Sorry about the packages, but I never expected to collect so many Sky Busters over the years, let alone have anyway to display them, this not all I have, but my favorites.



I like collecting NASA models, so the Space Shuttle is a natural favorite SB for me, here is shown with the old Lesney issue, and the more recent casting (packaged), this is the Atlantis, but I have another in a Mission Force set, I forget which one that is, but they also did the "Discovery" I believe it was, as a single, but I never found that in stores.

A cool 2 pack, with a couple great SB, the Piper Comanche and the Learjet

This is what they call a Ski Plane, I mistakenly thought it was a float or sea plane....Oops, hope they don't try to land on water because of me....anyway, I think it might be a licensed plane, but don't know the make.

I believe this is the DC10, but I like the Mc D's livery.

Ah yes, Sky Busters from back in the days when they represented real military aircraft and actual airlines...and were fun to collect.

The "ski plane" seems to be based on a Cessna 172 Skyhawk.

I'm not an aircraft collector but those models are very nice and I will certainly add some of those when I can find them in the future. ;)

Thanks everyone, and thanks for the pic and info on that Ski Plane Joe.

I know they'd look much better displayed loose, but no place for a display, although I did once have this big bi-plane facade about 3 ft wide, made out of wood, and it mounted to a wall, the wings were display shelves, about 6 inches deep. I always planned on hanging it and displaying Sky Busters on it, but when I moved a few years ago to a much smaller place, things had to go.

I don't care what Matchbox called them, that's a float plane. (I understand your use of quotation marks indicates your agreement....)

Here's a "ski plane"
