Apparently my comments about the AK brown noser’s at 400sh has caused some anxiety and pressure from AK to take action. I received a private message that I’m no longer “welcomed” over there. When I tried to respond I could no longer log in to 400sh. Makes sense as 400sh does not encourage open communication. I have not posted there in weeks, so no love loss for me (but I do miss a few of my ...

In general, Revell airliner kits are very nice, especially the newer ones like the 737-800, A319, BAe 146, etc. in 1:144. However, the 1:200 Revell 737-200 is not a good kit. It isn't high on accuracy and the parts fit kind of roughly. IIRC, it wasn't even originally Revell's. Hasegawa has the better 1:200 737-200 plastic kit, but the nose section on it isn't as accurate as the nose section ...

Oh, nice new livery, its better than old color:

WTF I hear you say ! I recently bought this on Ebay, not for its accuracy as you can clearly see. However it is the same mould decals etc as one I got on a Kelloggs offer in 1958 which came as a kit complete with PanAm decals. The operating landing gear was a heck of a novelty, just a pity about the slot in the roof. Anyhow, being the correct scale, I got hours of pleasure from it on ...

It’s unbelievable that a hobby of collecting toy planes is so political. I’m a very passionate aviation collectables enthusiasts. I participate in various forums for an open and honest discussion of what collectables are worth my hard earned money and what is crap. I spend thousands of dollars a year on aviation collectables, as many of you do. We (or most of us) live in countries where freedom ...

I know I raved about the CO 757 last week. That was before the back landing gear snapped in a half while I was installing it. Now, I just got the AW A320. The back gears are impossible to install - they don't stay in and apparently you need microscoping hands to install the gear flap. The front nose gear won't go in all the way with the flap piece installed...but I don't have the flap piece any ...

My first plane was a Gemini Jets NWA B 757-300 old livery. The only reason I pick NWA is because I live 1hr from there Hub in Detroit MI.
