CLEwatcher - someone likes his Northwest as much as I like my BA!

Here's mine. Cabinet's starting to get a bit crowded...



I've also got a 1:400 Swiss MD-11 and 1:500 Qatar Airways A332, because I've flown on both.

The list - this was a Javascript experiment I knocked up a while back.

Which company makes the 1:200 bmi A320? I haven't seen this anywhere before.... Nice collection.

They're all 1:200. About 3/4 of them are Star Jets, a couple of Hogan Wings, one lonely Gemini Jets, and the rest Herpa.

Thanks The bmi A320 is made by Star Jets. As far as I know, they went bust a few years back, so finding some of their models can involve a fair number of Google searches and trawling through smaller retailers. You're in luck though - airlinemuseum.com has the bmi A320 in stock.  Smile

Quality's substantially better than the Herpas - it's a shame they went under. (Although, I bought every 1:200 they made, so it saved me a fortune...)

Just got my first 1:200 Gemini Jets model last week - the BA A320. Now that's a nice model. Die-cast metal with antennas, rubber tyres, even clear plastic beacons that catch the light, and the printing is incredibly detailed. Well worth getting to the nearest model shop and asking to see one - but have your money with you, because you won't want to leave such a gorgeous plane in the shop.

Nice  Smile (though I really must add another section of cabinet before getting an A380!) Is that the Hogan one? If so, what's the quality like?

Ooh, that 787's gorgeous.

I want one with wheels, so it'll sit on the shelf - whiich means another shelf, which means another cabinet. Which means more empty space to fill with planes  Wink My wish list is getting longer all the time.

Great collections everyone (love the CO terminal). As I'm only a recent "convert" to aviation, I have no plane models.  Sad Car models-those i have a ton of.
