The 50th Anniversary model is not a regular release and if you find it for sale somewhere then buy it. Only 120 were made and for the most part were not available through regular retail channels. |
Norm Harris has it for sale for $36.97 (free shipping)

The Phoenix 777 is going to be the short lived "new livery" with the negative space Centaur tail. Should be an interesting one to collect but at least it's not a fantasy model. |
So they have a pic / link for the model ? |

Yah, Norm gets them through trade. That's why I said "for the most part".
No pictures yet for the PHX 777. It was just announced yesterday and PHX takes a while to get the pics out. |

You haven't left?
I could have sent you that IC model already! Priority mail only takes a couple of days to most anywhere in the US! |

Here is one I created myself - I bought a DC-3 in USAF colors, & used silver spray paint to try & create a model of AI's DC-3 VT-CGP. Needless to say, it didn't come out too good!! I used 1980s vintage AI "Fragile" stickers to get the Air India titles from. Oh well - it was fun doing it. So here it is, not sure of the scale, though!
And for good measure, here is the Aeroclassics IC A300 in 1:400 scale. Though not AI, she sits with the rest of my AI models - nostalgia perhaps!

Any info about a possible Jet Airways 77W model ?? It was mentioned in another thread.
About the AI 77L model - it's from Phoenix & available for pre-order, but I don't see any pics yet. |

I believe there's been a delay in the pictures. Probably in a few days. I hear the models should hit the shelves by the 20th.
As for the 9W 77W, it must be in 1/500 or something else although I can't find evidence of it. Perhaps a special inflight model. If it was 1/400 I likely would have heard about it as there are only four molds out there, Dragon, Gemini, Herpa, and Phoenix. |

There is also another version of the Aeroclassics Indian Airlines A300 - in limited stock only though - with 50 years of flying livery.
Unfortunately, I am unable to insert images otherwise I would have done so.
Also I am not allowed to post the link to the details

You posted this info on Page 2 of this thread. Did you forget?
As mentioned in response to your other post, pics of the 50th Anniv. model can be found in this thread and as you already mentioned in an earlier post on AeroClassic's website, aeroclassics.net.
Now what do you mean you aren't allowed to post the details, which details? Which link do you want us to check, you haven't posted one...? |

Any better deals out there ? |

Probably not. Phoenix models tend to cost more. You may only see a one or two dollar variance between retailers. I always shop with Jetway Models, Nick is a great guy but JetCollector is great too, Pam & Dave will take good care of you there! |

No Jet Airways models in 1/400.
There is a new India based airline model coming this month though but that is all I can say for now. |
I think Gemini Jet issued something, but I'm not sure. |

Yep, but in the meantime nobody posted anything about it, so I thought that an update would be helpful. I see now that Jet Airways A340-300 is already available at the price of 32.95$ |

Looks like Schuco has re-released the former Schabak 777-200ER VT-AIJ (1:600), with the modified angular (upward facing) centaur on the engines, as it did with the former Schabak 747-400.
Herpa apparently has a new AI 707-337B (1:500) coming out in "1970s" Colors, exclusively For Lufthansa Worldshop. No idea of the reg. it will carry. |

^^^ That model, while very nice, is not the one that is impossible to find. Even I have a spare. Lets see if the auction gets out of hand.

To be honest, I don't really shop around for models. I stick with one retailer and email him what I want when they announce the releases. I got mine for $33.95 from Nick at Jetwaymodels.com. |

Looks like Dragon has announced an Air India 777-200LR VT-AIL...of course that's a mistake as VT-AIL is not an LR but hopefully they fix that before release.

The only one I know of for certain is Air Paradigm in Canada and that's because I got an email from them about it and other models.
Give it a few days and others will likely have it up too but to be honest, I wouldn't be worried about missing out on it. I hear Phoenix is making an LR as well. |

Yes but in the new colors.
I wouldn't be surprised if they made the 77W as well, their 777 molds are fantastic. |
