It's random it seems, but for rare 1:400 ones they usually go anywhere from $45-70. I acquired an NG Delta 757 in the Deltaflot colors for $50 once and it was flawless. In his latest run, he was selling a United ERJ 175 in Evo Blue for $50ish, and a United CRJ 550 for $75. I don't think...

$55-70 plus shipping seems like a fair price right now on Ebay.

Ebay assesses a 13-14% on items sold via their platform. You'll have to mark up the price of models considerably to earn a marginable profit or break even. You'll also have to pay federal taxes when the time comes. IMO not worth it unless you're really trying to get rid of a model or it's rarity...

It would be a miracle if NG did a re-run. Waffle sent out emails stating he had a 1200+ model collection to list, so who knows, maybe you'll get lucky this time :D

They're stored at another location right now but I gotchu

I was able to acquire one of the bowling shoe 757s by NG and two of the merger 757s from Waffle's collection sales a while back. Could definitely acquire more to expand the fleet. Hoping NG will do the -300 version for both in the near future. I do have 13 copies of the Gemini United A319 in...

The NG version's cockpit moulding more closely resembles a 757...that plus inaccurate cockpit window printing. It's interesting, even the winglets of the -300 version by NG closely resemble a 757's. I think NG got lazy with their 767 mould and borrowed too heavily from the 757. If anything, in...

The cockpit window printing can really make or break a model. NG and AV400 are awesome manufacturers. If not already, checkout the Panda version too. Their A350 mold is parallel to NG's.

To answer your question though I definitely still prefer the rolling gears. I've always wondered though whether our models will survive the test of time when the metal naturally becomes more brittle and prone to snapping.

All 1:400 models are inherently fragile, especially the smaller planes. Compared to the older style nose gears which were thick and chunky, modern day nose gears are indeed more fragile, but definitely more realistic. It really comes down to being a tradeoff between durability and realism. I had...

From this angle, it appears the cockpit windows are not only angled the wrong way (with an upward flare), but they're also too stretched out in the center. The cockpit window shape can really make or break a model, and it seems like an aspect that NG has been struggling with lately (e.g. 748s...

After trashing their competition and taking their sweet time to announce and manufacture this model...this is the final, long awaited "licensed" product 😂 Thanks Gemini but I'll stick with Panda and NG.

They're a scam. They might have some of those 'rare' models in stock as advertised on the website, but getting them shipped to you is a battle. From what others have mentioned more recently, RM will only ship once threatened with a credit card claim, and even then, it's a 50/50 chance he'll...

Where to buy this china southern 763?
