That's what my first thought was, when I saw the Shark tail.

My father's friend is consultant for AI and Boeing and many other airlines and other companies in India. He bring those big models for me once in a while thus I have the right to say Boeing gave me the models.

Its an insane hobby.. and most of the time you have to control yourself from going overboard! Anyways, i have crossed the 100 model mark finally! All my models are 1:400 scale... barring about 5 models which are 1:500 and one SQ A380 which is 1:72 which i bought from the Asian Aerospace 2006 and is hand made by people employed by SQ for making money for charity. I prefer the 1:400 licensed models (DW,Herpa,GJ), etc because they are valuable as their value keeps going higher as time passes.

It is fantastic to see specifics to the core on a miniature model. I am interested in pursuing this hobby. I notice that a certain section of members are pioneers in this field. My tryst did take me to a place called Model Art in Inorbit Mall, Malad website www.modelartindia.com but the prices Rs.1200 upwards scared me and made me just feast my eyes on them and walk away. Member Minister What other places in the City Of Mumbai can you purchase, look and ogle at these models Back to top himmat01 Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 1392 Location: DEL Posted: Wed Feb 21, 2007 10:42 am    Post subject: Yeah Minister, Please tell us about other stores in BOM dealing in a/c models.

There is a plan to build an airport diorama. At first I was going to build it from scratch. That board in the last picture was going to be the base and you can see some GSE at the bottom right. However, Gemini Jets has released an Airport Terminal to go along with their Airport Mat (which I already have) so I am just going to use that instead. It'll be much bigger than the scratch built one I had planned, which I may do anyway for fun. http://www.geminijets.com/terminal/ Back to top sammyk Member Joined: 20 Dec 2006 Posts: 2719 Location: Austin, TX Posted: Fri Jun 29, 2007 3:59 am    Post subject: My latest arrivals...
