Someone...ANYONE...help me out here!!
Hogan Wings made some ANA (All Nippon Airways - Japan ) die-cast models in 1:200 scale a while back. Has anyone got one that they would like to part with or does ANYONE know where I can DEFINATELY get hold of one. Am so tired of the 'try eBay' or 'try here' and 'try there'.
Do or Do not - there is no try.
Doesn't even have to be die-cast. ANY ANA Dash 8-400/Bombardier Q400 in a scale of 1:200 or bigger will do..............

note that these models are hard to find because ana doesnt distribute outside of japan. i was tired of trying on ebay also. but its what is trying on ebay that got me the model. best things come to those who wait...and wait paitently. and if you want this model that bad, i suppose youll go at great odds to get it no? =) good luck with those resources, those are the best i know of.

My problem was not simply finding any aircraft in ANA colours - heaps of them around - 767, 747, 737, A320, old TriStars, B787 Dreamliners which ANA don't even have yet.
What I was after was - specifically - a DHC-8-400 / Bombardier Q400 ( NOT 8-100 or 8-300 ) in ANA colurs of a scale 1:200 or bigger for under AUD$50 - which I what I have been use to paying for all my other plastic aircraft models.
I found one in US -all up to buy and get it to me? Around AUD$125-130 - seems a bit much and some in Japan - around AUD$70 to buy ( and then + postage ). Getting better............
By all means reply / let me know when you find a DHC-8-400 in ANA colours in good condition in a scale of 1:200 or bigger for AUD$50 or less ( excl. postage )

good luck dude. theres a reason why these models are priced so high outside of japan. AUD$50 is a total lowball. how about making a trip to japan? you get to see the sights and stop by the shop in the airport and buy all the rare ana models to your fancy.

kaitanium, you are right virginfans is extremely expensive. I don't know how he can sell his models !
