Updates on new arrivals and listings.

Time for an update after some packages eventually turned up. We've been having a torrid time with multiple packages from the UK and Europe going missing. Happily some models have turned up from the US and Hong Kong.

Firstly, we have the South African Airways DC-3 arriving. These models have long been sold out but we have managed to secure a very limited number of these models.

Next up are two Corgi Vampires procured after a client expressed some interest in these. Two models are available, the FB Mk.5 and the T Mk.11.

For the collectors we have secured the discontinued Hobby Master IDF F-4E Phantom II as well as the absolutely stunning Inflight 200 Boeing 747 ZS-SAJ, Ndizani!!!!

First Pre-production photos of the EF-111 Raven.

The first photos of the EF-111 Raven, otherwise known as the Sparkvark, have emerged. Really very nice!!! The USAF and RAAF F-111 Aardvarks are due out shortly and I've seen the USAF version available in Hong Kong.

1time.co.za

We've just added the "1time.co.za" Inflight200 DC-9-30 to our list of items for sale. Beautiful little jet that was just crying out for a scale bigger than 1/400. In 1/200 the model is transformed!

I would say that 1/200 is fast becoming the scale of choice for many collecting airliners. To my mind, while you could display more 1/400 models in a given space, the 1/200 models just have much more "presence" than the smaller scale.

HM 2011 hints...

Just picked up a hint that Hobby Master may be looking at doing the Northrop F-5E Tiger II for 2011. Already confirmed is the A-26 Invader by HM and the Devastator T1 by Skymax.

SAA DC-3s Secured!!!

After numerous requests for the long discontinued Corgi SAA DC-3 finished in polished metal we've started tracking these models down. We're happy to report that we've met with some success and we'll be seeing this model in stock within the next month or so.
