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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

re: kev747's collection
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.
