My last visit to ARD, Feb2010....

...again, everytime I go there, theres always some new models, not even shown on their website, these just come and go !
Sorry for the bad picture quality, my little camera flash stopped working...so I had to use the shop own lighting conditions,...check the photos, they're BIG; so you can spot that model you've been searching for
Always a great place to visit, in the UK.

Re: My last visit to ARD, Feb2010....

hi ! the 777 is 1:200, looks like custom made, and the Viscounts are in the Smallworld display section, all hand made, diecast in 1:200 scale too.
hope this helps!?

Looks like a Small World model to me. Handbuilt, 1:200, decalled and very expensive. Same with the Lufthansa Viscount. Notice the curtains painted in the windows. Great stuff. The One-Elevens are Small World as well.

Re: My last visit to ARD, Feb2010....

I agree, always nice to be there, though I'm glad I can't go there too often, otherwise it would be too expensive
Thanks for sharing your pics, Rui!
Some interesting models in the cabinets. Are the Viscounts, BAC1-11 and BMI ERH145 are Small World models ?

Nope.. the BMI Regional ERJ-145 is manufactured by AK200 models. Quite a model.. I saw it at IPMS Telford a few months ago - stunning detail - some members on here have got one.
