And I thought this was going to be my last blog post of 2025, and here we are, almost halfway through 2026.

As evidenced by my recent thread, "Am I missing something?" I had to tweak this blog post a lot in the past few days, as I did most of the writing in my bubble, thinking that we were still in 2017, when these two models were the rarest amongst the rare.

Enjoy:

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 without the blue background, especially the red.

Speaking of the gorgeous British Airways Landor livery, I have to say that the recent C Models 762 looks stunning (even on a blue background 😆.. I think the box helped the camera). I thought about keeping one for myself, but it really does not fit my criteria.
