Re: "Homzie's 1:400 and Beyond Speedbird Fleet and More..."
Some great entries on your top ten list Homzie - the list looks very different this year when compared to your previous top ten lists..! The two Air Canada B777's look superb in the black and white livery, so they definitely deserve their places on your list! The WestJet B787-9 looks to be a great model too and a worthy winner this year given the new focus of your collection. I also really enjoyed your British Airways B747-400 scale comparison posted above - the 1:200 scale model in the Landor livery looks wonderful!
Looking forward to more collection updates from you in 2020!
- Cal.

Thank you very much Ale, I enjoy your threads and posts as well, my friend. The way you describe and explain each aircraft in your fleet, it actually is very informative. The choice of your aircraft in your collection is legendary, Ale! I always look forward to your updates and posts because I get to learn so much about each airline and aircraft. You’ve introduced me to many airlines I’d not even heard of. I’m glad you liked this update. I really hope Boeing 737-Max aircrafts are safe to fly soon, so that I can use them at my future airport.

I’ve tried to fit all the models I’ve bought in 2019 into my top 20, I just put them in order of preference. My real model of the year will be shared very soon...The list contains models which are based in Toronto because I’ve based my collection this year on YYZ. The only exception is Emirates B77W A6-EPK. I’m glad you liked the list, Cal. You are going to like my future update too, my friend. Looking forward to your updates too, my friend!

Re: "Homzie's 1:400 and Beyond Speedbird Fleet and More..."
Update time.
My dearest friends, this is my first update of the new decade in this scale. The aircraft is based at Pearson (the focus of my fleet was airlines operating into Toronto in 2019) and has been to various domestic and trans-border destinations. The aircraft is the second of the type in my fleet. This aircraft was delivered to the airline in September 2002 but is currently stored. This aircraft had its tail clipped when B77W C-FIUL (scale model also in my fleet) was being towed at YYZ on December 27, 2019. The aircraft is Airbus A321-200 (C-GJWO) and the airline is Air Canada. I hope you like this update. Now for the pictures!

Great looking A321 you have there Homzie! I have this one too and it’s a nice model for sure. I think I’m yet to see an aircraft type that Air Canada’s livery doesn’t look good on!

Thanks for your swift reply Cal. I agree that Air Canada livery looks elegant on any aircraft. My Air Can A321 is the Phoenix one not the GeminiJets one! My airport will be ready very soon and a thread will follow. I’m looking forward to your updates as well.

Re: "Homzie's 1:400 and Beyond Speedbird Fleet and More..."
Update time!
Well, my friends, I have a diversion from my Toronto fleet. This airline visits Toronto but this aircraft doesn’t. This aircraft was delivered to the airline in July 2016 and has a special livery. The aircraft is Boeing 777-300/ER and the airline...Emirates. This is Emirates B77W in Opportunity / Orange Expo2020 livery A6-EPO by GeminiJets.
There an interesting story behind this model. I had ordered Etihad and Qatar A350s but cancelled the order before it was due to be shipped, so, I ordered this and one more B777 in their place. I had to pay GBP 8 for them as I had balance for the cancellation.
This is my small update. Hope you like it. My new Toronto airport thread I’ll be up and running soon...
Here are the pictures...

That Emirates B777-300/ER is looking good in the orange Expo livery my friend! It’s a shame you cancelled the A350’s of Etihad and Qatar, but I’m sure this model makes a nice alternative!

Thanks for the reply Cal. I was a bit disappointed to cancel that order but then when I saw this one (A6-EPO) and the aircraft in my next update, I didn’t feel so bad. I saw it as an ‘Opportunity’ for some ‘Mobility’ in my fleet. I didn’t want to wait for the A350s because Aviation400 is like JC, you never know when the aircrafts are going to be released.

Re: "Homzie's 1:400 and Beyond Speedbird Fleet and More..."
My friends, I canceled an order containing Etihad and Qatar A350s (which I should not have) but I found two models which I wanted since they were repainted. A6-EPO was one of the aircrafts. The other, is also an Emirates B777-300/ER and has recently been to Mumbai. The aircraft I’m referring to is Emirates B77W A6-EPK Mobility / Blue Expo2020 livery made by GeminiJets. You may have seen her in my top 20 as my #20 model of 2019. The third one will be featured in a future update.
Here are the pictures for you all. Thanks for viewing!

Sadly your thoughts on Aviation 400 and JC Wings are true - it's almost impossible to tell when the announced models will actually be produced. Once they're in stock though I wouldn't hesitate to pick-up one of their models as they're often some of the best in the market.
Anyway, another nice Emirates B777-300/ER my friend! It would be great to see all of your Emirates Expo 2020 special models together sometime!
- Cal.

Thanks Cal, I agree that there have been some awesome models by Aviation 400 & JC Wings but the uncertainty of their releases have put me off. Besides, we have to be Rey careful nowadays due to the current contravirus that has spread around the world.

Re: "Homzie's 1:400 and Beyond Speedbird Fleet and More..."
My friends, I’m sorry for neglecting this thread a bit due to my activity on my Airport thread. I apologise for the inactivity here. However, since I have all three aircrafts I require for this update, I thought to myself why not update it. Here are three aircrafts which unfortunately will not come to my Toronto Pearson Airport (YPM). They are...Emirates B777-300/ER in the three Expo2020 liveries, A6-EPK (Mobility/Blue), A6-EPO (Opportunity/Orange) & A6-EPU (Sustainability/Green). EPK and EPO are GJ ones while EPU is the official Emirates store aircraft model...which I received before the GJ release!
Here are the pictures...

It’s wonderful to see that you completed the set of Expo 2020 B777-300/ER’s Homzie! I actually think these special liveries look better on the B777’s than they do on the A380’s. I just wish the Emirates billboard titles were still a part of these special liveries!

I bet you i can guess without reading which one came from the EK store... For some never explained reason they always come without antennas from there... Though that depends on the model, i've had a few A380's direct form the EK store with all the antenna, some with none and some with half!
I did ask GJ but as always with their "fantastic" customer service team, i was ignored 
Anyway great updates, are you planning to compete the set with the A380's as well?
