mines from YankeeVictor400, he just listed his batch on his website recently. Might be a few left! I haven’t seen them in many other stores in the US at all.

A very special package arrived today. Twin sets are quite rare, and only one exists of an Australian airline. So when I saw it pop up on eBay last week, I knew I had to get it. $130 including shipping and 6 days later, these two aircraft arrived.
VH-CZT, an Ansett Australia 737-33A wearing the Sydney 2000 Summer Olympics Mascots Livery featuring the tree mascots of the Sydney games, Syd the Platypus, Millie the Echidna, and Olly the Kookaburra.
And VH-BZF, an Ansett Australia Boeing 767-324ER wearing the Sydney 2000 Summer Olympics Torch Relay livery. This remains, 24 years after being released, the only release of an Ansett 767-300ER in 1:400 Scale. VH-BZF was one of only 2 767-300ERs that served with Ansett, being delivered in 1996 and flew until the airline collapsed in 2001, VH-BZL a 767-35HER joined in June 2001. VH-BZI (767-33AER) was undergoing EIS checks when Ansett collapsed, and VH-BZM (767-35HER) was delivered to Melbourne on Wednesday the 12th of September 2001, the day before Ansett collapsed and was placed into Voluntary Administration. The 737s, 747s, 767s and BAe 146s never flew for Ansett again, while the A320s did when Ansett Mk II was established in October 2001 until March 2002 when the company was liquidated.
The 767-300ERs where registered to Ansett International Pty Ltd and mostly flew international routes, notably Sydney-Nadi and Melbourne-Hong Kong. However, the 763s did sometimes operate domestic legs, often to reposition the aircraft for its next international service. BZF's last flight was AN53 from Sydney to Melbourne on the 13th of September 2001.
BZF carried the Olympic flame from Athens to Singapore and then onto Guam back in 2000. Once the flame got to Auckland, it was put on A320-211 VH-HYN which wore the same livery as BZF and flew it to Uluru.
Looking at these 2 models makes me wonder who will be the official airline for the Brisbane 2032 Summer Olympics. It will probably be Qantas.
These are absolutely stunning additions and look great on the Ansett end of my Australian shelf among the other Starmark Livery Ansett aircraft that I have. These 2 take my Ansett collection to 8, and there will be no stopping the growth of my Ansett fleet as you can never have too many Ansetts

Absolutely stunning models.
Twin sets are hard to find these days, I myself was able to snag a Gemini set of two America West 737-200’s for $40 in 2024, but this set looks even rarer than that. Great models and great find!

The listing said that they have never been displayed and it shows. They both will definitely be making appearances at NQX with the 737 basically being based there.

Is that Air France an old Aeroclassics release? Looks quite nice!
Mind if I ask how you got in contact with Mark, he has a couple of models I want to ask him about.

I took a trip to Grayland Station in the Chicago area over the weekend. I've heard good things about this shop and it didn't disappoint. The selection is simply massive. This shop mainly stocks Gemini Jets, JC Wings, and AV400 models with a couple of older NG Models planes sprinkled in.
I picked up 2 new models which represent 2 new airlines in my collection. First up is the Gemini Jets Breeze Airways A220-300, released back in 2022.
I was honestly surprised to find this one in the store but thankfully it was there.
I also picked up the Gemini Jets Allegiant Air A320, which was released last year.
I really like Allegiant's livery. The Gemini Jets A320 mold definitely isn't the best compared to the A320 in other brands, but it was better than I expected when I opened the package at the store to inspect this model before buying it.
Getting these two models for $83 after tax was honestly a huge bargain. My old home airport (Orange County/John Wayne Airport) sees plenty of these planes so I'm happy to have them.

I'd do just about ANYTHING to get a breeze a220 for anywhere near a normal price these days

I just looked at almost a dozen model sites and couldn't find any in-stock so it's safe to say that it's dried up. They're going for over $100 on Ebay.
I think a Breeze A220-300 re-release from Gemini Jets would be nice, preferably with the updated titles.

oh, wow! I never realized they updated the titles, I just assumed that variant was just a one-off! It looks much nicer than the older version!

I went to Grayland on Saturday too lol! Lifted three models, AA 737 MAX, NW 727-200 thermometer, and Midwest 717. Unfortunately the 737 MAX was broken so we will return it.I took a trip to Grayland Station in the Chicago area over the weekend. I've heard good things about this shop and it didn't disappoint.

Yes the new release MAX. Pylon broke too so no hope of repairing. He's only open Wed-Sat but I have a family birthday Wednesday so I will come in Thursday and hope he is nice enough to fix it.
