I think me saying for 18 months that as long as it makes you smile and be happy then who cares what the hobby is.

Andrew does a wonderful job looking after enthusiasts of previous era's. I for one really appreciate it. The C and S is superb.

I have this model as I flew Vancouver to Toronto in this very aircraft. Regrettably somebody broke the nose gear and I haven't been able to find a replacement part.

Not into 200 scale but sometimes buy one out of curiosity for the mould.
BA Landor is amongst the greatest liveries ever, so this NG 757 had to be it.
What can I say, not happy with this and seriously disappointed with NG on this one. The wing dihedral is a mess and the engine nacelles/intake lips are overdimensioned (while the fan/intake diameter itself is ok) and can't keep up with the quality look of the rest of the model.

These are my latest 1:200 purchases for the past month.
I'm really fortunate to have these 2 models in my collection! Both of them are amazing and they look good for my 1:200 collection! Both of them are Gemini200 models, and the overall detail look absolutely gorgeous!

Just picked up Inflight200/WB's Singapore Airlines 777-200 (9V-SQA).
The brand new mould is unsurprisingly superb. Also present are Inflight's traditional jeweled landing lights and moulded ADF antennas. Particularly impressive are the engine fan blades, which accurately replicate those of the IRL Trent 800. Fan blades tend to be an afterthought in 200 scale, so props to Inflight.

Latest arrival from ebay is this G550 by NG. I absolutely love these little bizzers and wish NG would go into classics here for new moulds like Falcon 20 (FedEx!) or some early Learjets. Can I dream of some HFB320s?

I'll take a Sabreliner and a Lear 35 in 1/200.

Model number 214, JC Wings 1:200 G-BOAE in BA’s Landor livery. Beautiful aircraft with a beautiful livery. I can’t resist a Concorde
Nice, I also pre-ordered this 1:200 model. Might just need to get a 747 to go along with it

This post will be about as off topic as could be... 
I'm currently selling some models and was shooting pics of this year 2007 IF200 release that I was (am?) planning to sell. However, after many years in the box this one caught me and I somehow don't want to let her go. IF200 quite nicely nailed the colors on this model! Not sure what to do...

Not sure if you are asking for genuine advice, Alex. As model collectors, I'd say keep it. You like the colors, but If I have to guess probably not so much the mold. But then again, is there a GJ200 or JC200 version available? Likely to be available in the near future? Do you need the space for something else?This post will be about as off topic as could be...

Off topic here too.
Yours is a SkyWest E-175. I have the older GJ200 Shuttle America E-170 release. Hold it dearly to my heart. I bought it the day I passed my type-rating check-ride with Shuttle America. As luck would have it, it was the last reg. I flew with them a year later. U.S. Regional E-Jets don't really have a place in my 1:400 collection, but my 1:200 examples are very special.

Space is exactly the point. These 1/200s are simply too large for the extra detail they offer, so this one didn't see any light since I packed it away for my penultimate move more than a decade ago. Space is needed for a pile of plastic/resin kits I need to finish once I get the time to, the rest is reserved for 1/400.
This model just has this "keep me!" appeal. I think I'lk let Euros decide and keep fingers crossed for NG's mould.
