    Critical Aviator 1/400 collection

    IMHO, this MD-11 gives HX's a run for its money. Panda's printing is second to none, also.

    Dave runs a good business; he's my guiding light. The packing peanuts system is efficient (from a retailer's point of view), and it does offer a lot of protection against impact. But it is not foolproof. It does not offer water protection, and I have had open-top Aeroclassics boxes tangle with...

    Show Your Latest 1:400 Purchase

    You know how I pack. I am not as generous as JetCollector, but not as frugal as Waffle. Unfortunately, customers inform me of broken models all the time… it just happens. Lovely model. I like ANA’s Blue Triton livery. Hopefully they keep it for a long time, it’s already one of the most...

    Glad you liked them. I can't read my older posts, they embarrass me 🙈. It's like listening to my own voice.

    Big Bird vs. GeminiJets: British Airways 747-400

    Thanks, Alex. I knew you could help with this matter. When I switched to the blue background, I was only thinking about contrast, how it affected the entire exposure, and colors caught me completely off guard. I have a diffuser (only one), but I don't like using it because it still gives me...

    The Future of Yesterday's Airlines

    He would not be paying someone $3000 just to run a tool. Knowledge and time are difficult things to assign monetary value to. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that to transfer a website the size of Yesterday's Airlines to a new platform at minimal costs (manual...

    Big Bird vs. GeminiJets: British Airways 747-400

    Someone brought to my attention the fact that the blue background is not the best for photographing the Landor livery. This is something I noticed, but didn't have any other practical alternatives at the time. Here's a photo of these models on their shelf. You can really see the colors pop...

    JAZ's Collection

    Made some changes to British Airways shelves a couple of months ago, and just now have the time to post about it. I replaced a Singapore hybrid Concorde and a British Asia Airways 744, both by GJ, with a Big Bird Landor 744, an InFlight400 (Aviation400) Landor 741, respectively. I also added...

    Local RC Shop Burglarized

    I know right? Robberies in the U.S. are actually as common as in Latin America. I doubt they'll catch them, and if they do, it'll just be a slap in the wrist. I guess the good news is that in spite of all that devastation, the store bounced back remarkably well. Just part of the realities of...

    Local RC Shop Burglarized

    There's an RC shop just a short drive away from home called Performance RC Hobby. I'm not an RC guy, but it is always cool to drive by and see all the airplanes hanging from the ceiling. Sometimes I go in just for kicks. I noticed they have some Tamiya paints and thought about going there the...

    New 1:200 Collector – Focusing on Aircraft I’ve Flown (United Fleet) – Best Brands?

    There are two main players in 1:200 scale: JC Wings/GeminiJets and InFlight200. In general, InFlight200 is known for having the worst molds of the two (especially their older molds like the 727s and 747s). JC Wings molds are better. However, this is, again, mainly true for 747s and 727s. For...
