I can’t wait to get mine! Unfortunately I put it in an order with the other ARD BA’s they are doing, the A350, 788 and 789 so I’ve got to wait and doesn’t look like the 3 will be ready anytime soon despite being announced nearly a year ago and ordered in March

2 new arrivals over the weekend, both Gemini Jets and from Bedfordshire Diecast. Qantas A380 VH-OQH with ‘Go Wallabies’ titles: Qantas 737-800 VH-VXG with the ‘Bring it On’ titles:

SQ have released pictures of the Qantas Yam Dreaming 787-9 and is shown on ARD’s website. I’m thinking of getting 1 but unsure on the mould. Is it a good mould?

2 new arrivals for me, the Virgin A350-1000 G-VJAM from NG. Got this one as it was the reg my friend flew on his first FO flight LHR-JFK on the 350, which I managed to capture from T3 as I was flying Finnair to HEL: 2nd arrival, again from NG is the American Flagship DFW 773:

New arrival, the RAF E-7A Wedgetail WT001 from Gemini:

Latest arrival, Qantas 707 from Aeroclassics. Came from Airspotters:

Bedfordshire Diecast have the AN225 available for pre-order:

Latest arrival and first model bought in 2026 arrival, HX Models VH-OJC in the Qantas 2000 Australian GP livery:

Think the Qantas birds will be my favourite models of 2026 and we’re only 8 days in! In terms of the Iberia One World, it was announced about a year ago and only came out last couple of weeks. Don’t think a standard livery was produced unfortunately

Last model this year (certainly before Christmas) I suspect and it’s a Aeroclassics, Airbus A300 F-WUAD in the old Airbus colours. Main reason for this purchase is that its very similar to F-WUAB which is the A300 that you can walk through at the Aeroscopia Museum in TLS - a very enjoyable...

Oooh RAF Wedgetail for me

Yeah I thought it came fixed and saw an engine floating in the box and feared the worst…but yes, 2 holes you just insert engine into. If I remember, I’ll take a picture when gone from work for you.

2 Qantas 744s from HX Models, both the same reg (VH-OJS). One standard, 1 with the 5th engine attached:

The last British Concorde reg to join the collection, G-BOAE from ARD. This is now BOAA/B/C/D/E/F/G/BBDG all in the fleet.

Latest arrival on Saturday for the Aussie collection. Qantas 742 from GJ, VH-EBA:
