Ugh! that BA 757 looks rotten. The Blue is FAR FAR to bright.
It's a fairly common problem with early Gemini Jets BA models, I'm not entirely convinced by the size of the Chatham Historic Dockyard logo on the nose ?

Thanks to A330 Crazy for the Star Alliance (I always thought they blew up in the Death Star?) 744 (D-ABTH), by Gemini Jets. And these long awaited beauties turned up from Taiwan as well.
Air Force One VC-25A (742) by Dragon Wings and Air Atlanta Europe 742 (TF-ATC) by Phoenix Line. The Phoenix is of very impressive quality, it even has rubber tyres on it.

I got a cool Flybe Q400 at the Aviation Experience at BHX yesterday.
It's not up to those standards as it only a plastic snap together, but I like it. It's a 1:100 scale which makes it quite big. :) It cost about £12.
I even got a spare prop just incase I break one because they are quite fragile. :cool:

I'd love to see a 1:400 version it's a great looking plane.

Looking good Matt, are you getting that addiction too ? :D
I'm gonna need a 15mm lens to get a shot of my fleet as things stand. Just won three on e-bay... Emirates 773, China Eastern MD-11 and Air China 744, also expecting an Air Holland 767, a USAF "Airforce Two" 757 and another BA 757, hopefully in better nick than the faded one I got last week.

Yeah, Gemini Jets do it in 1:400 and it's on sale as I recall here... www.thresholdaviation.com
It's $29.99 Canadian Dollars, about £12. You'd probably pay around £20-£25 on e-bay I'm guessing ?
There's one on e-bay just now as well with around 5 days bidding left and sitting under a tenner so far.
