If I admitted that I didn’t actually know I’d bought this and it turned up in the box from Amsterdam as something of a surprise would you believe me? It arrived with TF-MOM & DAD, The new livery Wizz A320 and several others. I couldn’t even remember looking at the model, never mind ordering it, […]

We’d never seen a model and nor were we likely to but it would have been pretty cool, with its Greek flag tail. SkyGreece is another of those start ups […]
Read more "Gemini release, SkyGreece cease, Korean Air finally flies & JC Wings it"I’ve always loved the UPS livery and my personal experience of UPS services has always been ultra-positive.

The Swire Group who own it are a long established company of British traders that go back into the Victorian era. It may not be obvious in this […]

My question is who is going to pay the not inconsiderable sum to licence Star Wars 1:400 models? I’m actually expecting that they won’t see the light of day because the cost will be excessive. Anyone trying to import illegal […]
Read more "ANA expands its Star Wars offering"If there’s a different livery and they happen to be in the OneWorld alliance (which as the smallest is hard to provide aircraft for), then it’s a model I usually want. S7 Airlines is poorly represented in general (despite being one of Russia’s most successful private airlines). So when JC Wings announced they were doing […]
