Sadly not, I totally forgot about it and made other plans instead. Are you attending?

I hope @DTcustoms can work with PHX to release the 2 recent Surinam A343s - PZ-TCR in the standard scheme, and PZ-TCW in the lovely hybrid scheme. Add BWIA, AR, Avior, Conviasa A343s on this great mould.
Barring a few, I have picked up almost all of the recent PHX A340s. And why not?!

Air Transat Airbus A330 in the Welcome Livery picked up for a great price at the LHR show and a nice addition to the collection as I flew this livery from YVR-LGW in 2012

These two DC-8-50s are a couple of recent inductees to the fleet. Both are 1962 builds and carried sequential regos at Douglas (N9608Z and N9609Z). N9608Z in house colours here, and named 'Pacific Pacer', set a distance/speed record on a testflight from Tokyo to Miami (8,792 miles in 13 hours 52 minutes) on Feb 23, 1962. She went on to KLM and then leased to Philippine Airlines only two months later. N9609Z became CF-TJL with Trans-Canada Air Lines as a DC-8F Jet Trader. It flew with Air Canada until 1985. I am a massive fan of Aeroclassics DC-8s and this pair are my 111th and 112th of them in my collection.

Herpa seems to peak at their 1:400 SST offerings despite the lack of printing details. Their Concorde has a realistically sharp nose unlike GJ's one which is blunt. Also they are the only manufacturer to have a mould for the Tu-144 (not counting Del Prado since it's 1:350). And I am delighted to welcome both Mach 2. airliners:
British Airways Aérospatiale/BAC Concorde G-BOAD modified "Union Jack" scheme. To be honest, I am not quite impressed with the font for the registration as it seemed completely off to me (I have my eyes for the font). The aircraft is now at Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.
The double-delta wing SST from the other side of the Iron Curtain - Aeroflot Tupolev Tu-144S CCCP-77107. Aimed to outpace the Concorde but was drowned with issues. Nonetheless still a beauty. A minor scratch was found on the main gear door but since I have not asked for photos - I don't file a complaint. The real aircraft is now in Kazan.
Moving back to the modern world is a pair of Turkish Airlines Boeing 777-3F2/ER TC-JJE (w/o antennas) and TC-JJP by Phoenix. I entered my bid for these 2 no-box models and they gladly came intact. Interestingly a few week before I also got a NG version of TK 77W (-JJS) and now have a total of 3, which I had not planned for.

Your pictures are very high quality! Can you confirm if NG updated their 777 cockpit windows?

Three recent arrivals from China, via Vietnam. All use JC Wings moulds but 2 were made for Yu ModeL . Nice little trio of regionals, although the cockpit printing on the ATR is hardly ideal.

My Retro FSD project is going to get a revival very soon thanks to this recent acquisition from @squatchys_diecast_hangar. Western 720s, per my research, were the largest passenger jets to visit FSD on regularly scheduled flights.

I loved the flying W. I also have this one in my collection.
