I did not buy this, my friend gave it to me, this is the JC Wings ANA Fokker-50 JA8200 with rolling gears and spinning props. 1:400. I did not receive the box as he still has to find it. I am not sure if its very rare but it is still a very nice aircraft for my collection, if any of you guys know stuff about it can y'all please tell me :)
Well the one thing I do know is that I'm searching for this one to add to my ANA fleet 😂😂😂! It's lovely and JCs Fokker 50 is a great mould. Unfortunately not to be seen now. Have a Lufthansa and an Aer Lingus in that mould, and well they're delightful!
 
After an unexpected layover at Brazilian Customs… in 2022, a second order, months of waiting, a near separation, not to mention the angst that after all this - she would arrive unscathed? The model.

Happy to report that yesterday she did, in all its glory. Aviation 400’s gorgeous A380 mould sporting one of my favourite liveries – Singapore Airlines. An iconic livery, that has stood the test of time.

Here she coming into her gate at Terminal A, and later resting overnight.

In the background, construction underway of Terminal 3.

did you make those jet bridges yourself? and the AV400 A380s are so nice
 
Slowly but surely the sought-after list keeps getting smaller allowing me to indulge more and more on the monthly new releases. The picture below shows it well.

The Concorde you see there is the Herpa version, I made a big deal a few months ago when I got the GJ version (when it rains it pours), this one arrived yesterday from Ukraine via eBay. The Aerolíneas 707 arrived today also from eBay (great transaction). The three NGs also arrived today from Nick over at the Texan Airplane Store just on the other side of town!

I guess I can also share this here, a full-blown article about my catch from the AeroClassics releases from April 2023:

It’s my first time having a flaps down model and I must admit that this feature is stunning on the 744. Just arrived this United Airlines Boeing 744 in Saul Bass colors. In love with the model, the livery and everything ! Excellent job, JC Wings

Really really beautiful model, congrats!!!
