I think V1 1:400 is focusing in US airlines only...

I have just ordered the two TWA twin stripes models ((767 and DC-9), but I can’t find the 767-200 United Battleship anywhere?

Have they been released for sale yet or are they already sold out?

Would make sense for V1 to also release a few Canadian models. Pretty big overflow between the two, some Air Canada 767’s, DC9s, and 727s would be neat to see

You won’t see the United’s. They have been pulled back for reasons I cannot discuss

 

[JJ Skippy]

That’s unfortunate to hear. Hopefully it’s nothing serious and they’ll pop up again later…

Dunno, but they are off of our ordering distributor, Motor City Classics. So if anyone tried to preorder them and paid from another retailer, you should contact them. We aren’t doing preorders on them, and ordered the minimum quantity at this juncture as pricepoint may be the kicker here.

 

[CM Aviation]

This is sad.

 

[400Yinzer]

Are you kidding me? That’s a real shame. I think I have an idea why they may have been pulled… possibly the (very loose) connection to a tragedy in 2001?

Personally, I doubt that. While 612 was the aircraft involved and they did 611, I can see where you’re coming from though.

Do we know if this only effects the battleship 767 or that and the Saul Bass copies?

Yeah just a wild guess - hope I’m wrong though.

No United’s period, Saul Bass or Battleship

Hey guys. The United's being pulled is only a temporary issue. There are some details being resolved that hopefully will be sorted out soon so they can be relisted.

@400Yinzer no connection to 9/11 don't worry

Incidentally, it looks like MCC are quite pleased with the pre-orders so there is a good chance that there will be more models in the V1:400 after these initial batches and it looks like I'll be involved too. I expect the subject matter to continue to be US focused, but perhaps with some opportunities for Canadian and Mexicans too.

Also it looks like the announcement for the 2nd set will now be made in January after the first set have reached stores.

And for those who haven't pre-ordered through other retailers. We will announce as soon as we check them in, so just keep an eye out for news. We anticipate a quick sale on these 1st batches.
