There has been a small misunderstanding, i have the A330 inbound. No 767, unfortunately. No it hasn't arrived, but they will be shipped this week due to Herpa being closed for a few days.

They are very nice planes indeed, they stand out compared to the western built aircraft.
I am sure you will be happy with the Aeroflot A330, she is a real beauty!

I only have one Pan Am, the 747SP billboard. I am hoping to get the 747-100 billboard one day.

My PanAm fleet is only two models: 727-100 and... A320.

There is something truly special about them. I suggest watching Wings of Russia. Great show, really. You can find all 18 episodes on Youtube.
Im sure i will. Im sure i will.

Very nice British fleet there! BMI has one of the nicest livery in my opinion...a pity that it's gone.

I hadn't realised that Pan Am had the A320 in its fleet. They can't of had them for long.

Thanks, I will look out for those episodes, sounds interesting.

They didn't have any at all.

They ordered some but never recived them. Some of them went to Braniff.

kevin, looking forward to seeing the pics of BA B747s...I simply love BA B744s which explains why 40% of my fleet of 90 (and growing) are BA heavies!!!

kev747 · 11-13-2012, 08:37 AM

Here are the 3 BA 747's.

They are G-BYGE "Rendezvous", G-BNLV "Waves of the city" and G-BNLJ "Martha Ndbele".

I am very pleased with these 747's

. Now looking forward to receiving the next ones.

solicitor82 · 11-13-2012, 08:38 AM

wow Kevin, those are the ones I really want....I'm eyeing these 3 and the G-BNLK Water Dreaming....

Wow, you have got a large BA fleet!

I know the feeling, 744's are by far my favourite aircraft and also I love BA especially with their world tails, my BA fleet is also the largest in my collection with about 46.

These 3 are custom 1:500 made by H & C Customs 500. I don't know how many were made though.

I think G-BNLK "Water dreaming" was made by BigBird, lovely one too.

Good luck with your growing BA fleet.

solicitor82 · 11-13-2012, 09:28 AM

Thanks Kevin...I am looking for the G-BNLK apart from the G-BNLJ, G-BNLM and G-BNLV (I think BigBird made those in 400 scale...missed out on the G-BNLK from Adam Jets last year (wish I hadn't)...the shipping to Mumbai, India was around US$48 (then)...thats why I had to let go of it...

So you collect both 1:500 & 1:400 scale, thats good. I think there is more choice for BA 747 world tails in 1:400. It seems quite limited in 1:500.

I only collect 1:500 but there are BA world tails produced in 1:400 that are indeed tempting (Dutch & Polish world tails).

I did the same thing a couple of years ago and missed out on 3 models. I saw the two Dutch tails and the Polish one for sale by H & C Customs but didn't get them because I couldn't afford them at that time and now they are all sold out. I really regret not getting them then as I would love to have these in my collection. I think the chances are very slim for these to be released in 1:500 one day.
