I started putting this article together about three weeks ago when there was a lot of buzz surrounding Panda. They were struggling to fulfill 767-400 orders, which led me to think that they were going to be sold out before reaching us retailers, and they had just announced their first MD-11 releases.
I could not have been more wrong about the 764s. Each one of them is still widely available in at least two of the four retailers that I checked (JetCollector, Eztoys, Waffle and my own Yankee Victor 400).
So by now, I have tweaked the article a bit. I think it is still a valid opinion, a good insight into the status of the hobby, a hard look at the endless debate between buying what you like and liking what you buy vs. waiting for who can do it best, and an eye opener as to why many brands don't bother going for the perfect mold.
