:wub:  excellent stuff Toad! now I expect to see a fleet of models appearing very soon...  ;)  

Captain Canada

Got two on the go so far...an STA and an RJ 85.

Lance is sending me a third kit, and I'd like to suss out 1 or 2 more.

Cheers !

5 airliner models in a single room? I have checked the scale, and yes it may be possible at 1/144th, not the 1/72nd I was used to. But what is the meaning of "from discontinued"? not available anymore? too bad for your fleet project :(

Discontinued = Revell stopped making them. Hannant's (or other shops) may still have them in stock, but thwy won't be able to order more.

Does DT's stand for alcoolic Delirium Tremens? :)
Parkinson syndrome would be another possibility, poor 146 :(
You've got it right Tophe  :D

I seem to recall from a recent modeling magazine that Revell-AG will be once again re-releasing the kit with a new livery....

Will be plenty more out there for you to build, Cap'n!

Aircav said ONE, Captain! Don't buy 5 of these 1/10th model! Don't give away your children and car and wife to get room enough! :) (and don't sell your family to get the £17,500/CDN$40,000/US$33,000...)

Oh boy, tempting me too.

After all, I can always have another kid...(kidding!)

Hey, that is a cool model ! $10,000 CDN sounds a bit crazy, tho.... :(

Thanks for the link, Stevie ! All sorts of cool stuff there, eh ? But who the 'eck would want a non-flying scale model with a 15 foot wingspan ? :wacko:

Love the cutaway ones.....now those are cool ! Had one at the travel agent when we were kids, and it was always the highlight of going to the mall ! Well, other than the toy store !

And seeing the interior of that 747...man, I'd kill to have the very front seats at the bottom level...how cool would that be for take offs and landing !

:wub:

And I've tried to sell the kids before, Tophe. But they're always returned before the 30 day guarantee runs out !

<_<

Wow, thats a mean looking line up of 146s you got there Todd  :wub:

If you're looking to source some more, Nick was saying a while back he had a couple and didn't know what to do with them IIRC.

Now get building!!!  :ph34r:

Oh baby !

Jealousy won't make you Canadian, but you can always decal your a/c that way !

Now isn't this the sweetest 146 you've ever seen ?

:wub:  :wub:

Mmmm.........

It also demonstrates my biggest modelling problem........I always strap the CDN markings on ( 'cause they look so damn good ! ) and then stumble around them for the rest of the build !
