Trans Global Airlines 707-320 by Blue Box 1:200 Scale preorder for June


Own a piece of Hollywood Aviation History

You get three guesses on the significance of the Trans Global Airlines 707-300 shown here and coming in June from Blue Box 1:200 Scale.








Okay, stumped? Maybe not.

Trans Global is a fictional airline that was depicted in the 1970 blockbuster film Airport. Though the airline is fictional, B707-300 N324F was actually leased from Flying Tigers and painted in this livery for the production of the movie.

GeminiAces Skyraider and Hobbymaster August Preorders


Diecast Warbird Update - May 12, 2010

GeminiAces announces first A-1H Skyraider.

Two summers ago when I stopped to visit the folks at GeminiJets I saw a pricture of this model in prototype. It is exciting to see it finally coming along. They have to compete with HobbyMaster now, but as usual the GeminiAces model is sure to be a hot item, especially this first run on the Skyraider mold.

Hobbymaster

The August release items a new release of both the Skyraider and F-105 in Camoflauge colors. This should please those of you who missed on the the first releases of these two planes in camo that sold out before we could blink.

Phoenix 400, Aviation 200 & 400 May Preorder Announcement


Diecast Airliner News - May 7, 2010 - www.DiecastAirplane.com

Here are the new preorder releases for Aviation 400, 200 and Phoenix 400. If the thought you had already seen the Aviation 200/400 release email for May, you are correct. Unfortunately, the entire line up was changed. The models previously announced have been delayed and this is a whole new list. I have no idea what happened. It is as strange to me as to you.

We are still waiting to hear from Gemini about their May release models. Hopefully, we will get this list soon.
