I like the Comet 4B.

Good little model but the only thing that frustrates me about all these classic aircraft is that they are super rare and ultimately expensive on the 2nd hand market. I wish Aeroclassics had competition to make classics like Comets, 707s etc because there is 100% a market for another manufacturer

Placed a few orders around christmas time to my parents house and they finally made their way out to me today. Super excited to get these unboxed, especially the Frontier A318s! Lots of work to do for photos

After going out to dinner with some friends I got to come home and open the boxes up and get my CRP cards and check for any damage. Not only were all the models pristine but one of mine came with an extra CRP card for a southwest 737-700 that i definitely do not have lol
Has this slight luck struck with anyone else yet?
That's an incredible find. Extremely rare to see this model. Hope you got a good deal!

Strangely, Dragon Wing's Etihad B77F A6-DDA.
Looked a bit weird, but come only at a price of ￥98. How hard can it be?
Compare with my Herpa 1:600 Etihad 777-300ER.

The GE90 looks too small, almost like a PW or RR engine on the Dragon 777
I've also seen this model on AliExpress for a super cheap price, together with a Cargolux B747-8F also by DW.

My last currently outstanding purchase has made it's way home. I present my copies of the following models;
- Iberia MD-88 by NG Models
- Aeroflot Tu-134 by Panda Models
- Aeroflot A350-900 by AV400
The Iberia MD-88 turned out wonderfully, bar some minor alignment issues with the cockpit and MD-88 titles on the engine.
This AV400 A350 is my first AV400 model, and I am impressed with it, printing a little less so but I feel it is a fair trade off for the ability to remove the gear and display "inflight".
The Aeroflot Tu-134 was simply an excuse to get another Tu-134, I could not help myself.

Two recent arrivals for me!
TAROM
Boeing 707-300C - YR-ABM
Aviation400
A lovely model by AV400, back when they still released classics
got it from a friend and fellow collector here in Brazil. This is my 5th 707 in the collection, and they're all AV400 lol
Brazilian Air Force
Boeing 737-200 (VC-96) - FAB2115
Aeroclassics (custom model)
A pair of B732s served as VIP transports for the Brazilian Air Force from 1976 until retirement in 2010.
FAB2115 is currently preserved in Iguaçu National Park, near the Iguaçu Waterfalls, and I even have a pic of her

That's an unusually (and wonderfully so) colourful version of the Tarom livery! Love the stripey flag colours on the rudder! I wish there would have been a Tu-154 in this scheme! (was there ever?)
