Charter 1:400 collection.

This is my Pandora' box, just a small part of my 1:400 fleet of Chinese and Far East narrowbodies airlines. I have almost all Chinese narrowbodies airlines produced in 1:400 scale: A319/A320/A321 series 200, A320/A321 series Ceo and B737-700/800/900. I stopped to collect airlines from this part of the world when a voice inside my collector's brain started to tell me "Charter, Chaaaarter, why do you collect 1:400 Chinese and Far East airlines if you are not interested in them and if you will never see a narrowbody from these airlines in Europe and if you have produced handmade airports especially from Europe and USA, with a focus on "Holiday" airports from all over the world where you most need widebodies???" Indeed, this voice was right, so i stopped to collect airlines from China and Far East before the great jump to A320neo and B737 MAX families. But all these models are part of my huge collection so i love them.

Aeroclassics Air Italy B737 MAX8 EI-GFY.
I have a particular love for this model because Air Italy was an Italian airline, because i liked the livery, because it was one of the few MAX flying in Italy (now just Neos uses the B737 MAX8). Of course Aeroclassics could not make something perfect: if the livery is almost nice and similar to the real one, the nose gear completely detached from the lower part of the fuselage, including the alloy section, destroying everything. Model never used, new, always stored in the box. I had to adjust the nose gear in the better, possibile way, the result is not the best but i am happy the same.
Luckily i have many spare parts, especially wheels and landing gears.

ITA Airways A319 EI-IMN by Gemini. I love ITA Airways because this airline had the courage not to be "eurowhite" like the majority of European (and not only) airlines. We all know that flying with this striking liveries is expensive respect having a white fuselage and the costs are higher: then ITA Airways has been founded from the ashes of the shameful (in the last years) Alitalia, so the courage was really great. Then i love the A319 and this model is a right "marriage" among nice mould and stunning livery.
