Went to the one physical store near me in Chicago - Grayland Station. Great prices and great owner! Traded away my United 737-500 in the Battleship Grey for store credit and ended up getting these three beauties:
GeminiJets Northwest Orient 727-200 thermometer - great model, even if chrome finish isn't as good as on the NG American MD-80s.

Gemini Jets American Airlines 737 MAX 8. Another awesome model by GJ, the one issue is that the American titles are about a window different in terms of placement on both sides. Though, weirdly enough, this is an actual thing on N326RP!image.jpg
And finally, a Midwest Airlines Boeing 717! It was a choice between this and a TWA final livery 717, and I got this.image.jpg

Lots of beauties here! This Panda 767 mould is such a wonderful little piece of engineering (despite the crooked engine isisue though) 🥰

Very nice birds! I remember buying from Grayland store on Ebay many years ago. Great service!

Honestly, from now on, unless I'm looking for something specific I know Grayland has a 0% chance of having (such as 3DDD) I will always buy from them.
 
Another day, another @YankeeVictor400 package🤣

@400Yinzer already gave a great summary on the history of this and the two other jets that lived in this scheme for a few years a few posts ago. I won’t bore with the same information but had to share my photos of course. Lovely model! Aeroclassics also made this on another reg a couple years ago (not on this great of a mold unfortunately) and I hope to grab that one as well in the future!

This next one is odd as I paid for it at one point, got a refund, and then it still shipped…either way it’s a pretty okay model!

Outside of the obvious tail sitter issue that plagues this mold it looks really nice, especially the printing detail on the underside.

Seems the engine issue is super hit or miss… The Untied doesn’t have it but the Delta slightly does and my other Panda 767’s I have gotten in the past don’t either. You win some and lose some I suppose. I was just happy my Aeroclassics stretch 8 didn’t have rocket engines shockingly they’re all perfect 🤣

Turns out the 737 MAX 8 had a broken engine AND pylon. Now, if just the engine breaks, it's usually repairable, but the pylon broke as well. Gonna return it on Wednesday (Grayland is only open 4 days a week, Wed-Sat) and hope Steve is nice enough to give me a replacement. Also, I feel like we've kind of forgotten how nice physical stores are... Grayland is INCREDIBLY tight and messy, but it adds to the charm. (And also, it's probably better for Steve's wallet, because if it was organized, everyone would just grab what they wanted and get out of there, at Grayland you have to dig for it and you will probably encounter models you want that you never thought you would 🤣). The customer service is also great, you get a free airline safety card with every purchase, and the prices are similar if not better than online stores, PLUS no shipping costs.
 
This next round of photos is also a package from YV400, lots of fun 767s recently!

I got this one for my gf as her first model plane! She loves horses and the color green and it was the first model I’ve shown her that her eyes lit up a little. It will sit on her PC desk shelf so she can see it everyday, makes me happy and she loves it as well! Since it’s an oddball I took a few more photos and will dedicate a thread to it in the coming days. There’s a lot of great detailing on this thing! Huge props to the artwork designer.

I thought about giving one to my oldest. She also likes horses a lot. And she likes airplanes a bit too.

Glad to see the models arrived safely.
