Just got these two from a Waffle scratch & dent sale. I took a chance with these since I've been looking for them for a while and they were at a really low price. I was expecting the MD-11 to come broken but hopefully fixable. And the 737, I was expecting zinc rot. These SMA 732s tend to get it, and considering the price on these models and how this Sahsa model sells fairly expensive, it wouldn't be a surprise.

The surprise was that neither had a scratch on them, nothing. So a good surprise from Waffle this time.

Two beauties! That SAHSA livery was so nice.
And I miss seeing and photographing that gorgeous Centurion MD-11F here in my city...
 
Long time no see from me (lol)

A box arrived today from @YankeeVictor400 filled with goodies. Unfortunately one or two suffered the fate of the post so I’ll get around to photos at a later date of those! Among other things, I’ve also not been posting much as i’ve been tweaking my lighting and camera setup for weeks now on and off. Still not quite there but these photos are a large step for me. Very happy with the quality for them being straight up not edited at all (minus cropping) and I want to continue improving in the future with tweaking lighting, camera settings, and improving backgrounds and even my baseplates too! Rant over thanks for listening!

Super cool little model, finally bought this after finding it was on the JetX mold and it looks much better than on the usual JC/GJ cradle!

My first ever Ultimate version from NG and while not worth the price every time I’ll definitely get it for special planes. What a better way than to start off with this one!

This one’s a bit bleh but that’s more on Gemini’s part than anything else. Nose section continues to be too chunky and this one’s a bit of a tail sitter. Printing quality is really nice on this thing though. Mine has a small scratch on the winglet but no issue for at least appreciating the model for what it is. Plus, I had the camera out and ready, why not? A good enough one for the collection I’d say :)

Lots more coming soon as the birthday has come and gone and money has been spent accordingly😈🤗
The American Airlines B777-300ER "Flagship" still continues to be weird: it seems a giant commercial billboard but also a proud demonstration of the deep soul of an airline and, at the same time, a kind of spaceship (missile with wings). I wait to receive mine to understand if i like or dislike it.
Thanks for sharing, beautiful pics.
 
It takes a lot to get me to buy models immediately after a collectibles show - with GJ's 727 hot streak the past six months, that was all I needed. From Wildcat I ordered the remaining 727s (save for Emirates) and also picked up some modern widebodies to balance it out. The PAL A35K is a stunner, and I don't see any issues with the cockpit printing. Singapore's Star Alliance 777-300ER is also nice to add as it's my first SQ model. I spotted its sistership (SWM) at LAX a couple weeks ago which was why I got it over a standard.
