As requested by Charl a while ago...

The 1/200th scale ones...

and the the 1/400 scale ones.

I would love to have more room for more 1/200, but they are big and expensive.
I think if you are limited for space , then 1/400(for 747's) is ideal...any smaller and you lose details.
Some of these are so hard to find now. I've been lucky to find collectors with double ups they are prepared to part with....but at a price.
I still need to get an ANZ 400(1/400) in Pacific wave paint to complete that set.

The one I'm really after now is a Friendship(1/400) in the blue and white Koru scheme...but super rare at the moment....so if you spot one ...buy it and let me know.

Speaking of F-27s...I found some original NAC luggage tags on trade me....which I will place with my 1/400 ZK -BXC.

It's an aviation transport museum!
Lovely.
That UPS model... obvious choice I know, but it really wears it well.

Thanks Charl, I only have two more to arrive(1/400) and that's it ...the hanger is full.
The 200th scale ones are about 36cm long...they are all resin except the ANZ old scheme one, which is solid diecast, and the most expensive.
