R Hi Aarbee... i totally agree with you, but as long as they are bought from inflight sales and have a registration number along with one from the manufacturer its going into my collection. I have to admit, and i have discussed this earlier, that the Schabak models are total crap. I just bought 4 more models, DW South west airlines 737 Phoenix AIX 737 (two of these) And one PIA A310 with the special tails. regards nitin Back to top aarbee Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 328 Location: WAS/AMD Posted: Sat Jul 07, 2007 6:09 am    Post subject: I just added DW LH A342 (Star Alliance - with all *A partners on it) US A332 (Black livery) GJ BA B772 (Canada tails) DL MD 11 (awaiting) Cheers, R Back to top sammyk Member Joined: 20 Dec 2006 Posts: 2719 Location: Austin, TX Posted: Sat Jul 07, 2007 8:24 am    Post subject: My latest arrivals: 1/400 GJ Delta Pink 757 GJ DHL 727 (Yellow Livery) GJ SAS Q400 GJ American Eagle CRJ AC Tower Air 747-200 AC Tower Air 747-100 DW Ethiopian 787 Qatar A332 (old release but now it visits EWR) DW Aerolinias Argentinas 744 DW PIA 772LR PH PIA 773ER Garden of the Mughal PH PIA 773ER Colours of the Desert AC Evergreen 747 Supertanker AC Evergreen 747 AC Air Canada 767 New Colors GJ US Air 727 GJ Horizon Q400 25th Anniv. 1/200 PH British United Carvair Pics later.

Don't be surprised if the traditional/delivery colors are done one day. See, it is in the interest of the model manufacturer to make a less popular livery first than the one that everyone wants. If the popular one is made first then people may not buy the other. This is the very first Indian Airlines model in 1/400 and I'm sure there will be more to come.

I am a modeller, but lately am a bit lazy. The scale is bigger (1/144) which doesn't allow me to have many models, but it is nice to see finished model. Makes me feel proud.
