Nice choice of airline :)

If you'd only put one of them in the frame, and at a medium distance, I think most people would have struggled to work out they were models.

[theflyingkiwi]

these are cool. I remember when the 2nd movie came out the 747 did a fly over the city, in fact it did a fly over the whole country :)

it's amazing the paint work that they do on these big planes.

[kaitanium]

it is amazing indeed. too bad its not around anymore

[JSJR4]

Awesome pics. I used to collect those models. Where do you go about buying them these days?

[kaitanium]

i always vouch for justplanefun.com. my favorite retailer. the guys over there are totally awesome. though these rarer models are harder to get

[spectre]

Give me till tonight and I will post the ones I trust...with decent prices

[kaitanium]

i chose JPF because i havent found any other place that offers price matching and a bonus point system and customer service that responds in the same day =P

sprectre if you want to sell some off, try to sell them at Diecastaircraftforum.com im over there too and there are plenty of 400/500 collectors

[kaitanium]

how about Duisburg?
