Having started fairly late in the collecting toy planes hobby, my want list in my Dima signature graphic contains enough for me to hunt down.

There are a lot of South African based models which have never been done, but that is for the future. At the moment I am trying to keep up with the odd new release and hunting down old releases.

[Phrog74]

Eugene, did you ever receive your models? What about your SAA A340?

[eugenevh]

Hi Phrog74 :-)

The 4 month long postal worker (Communication Workers Union) strike only ended recently. I have received a couple of my 40 planes (ordered over the 4-5 months of the strike) last week. I only visit the post office once a week on a Friday, so tomorrow I might get more. I am almost holding my breath as the CWU had indicated that they might go on strike again as they haven't been paid what government promised them to end the strike. lol. (I can just laugh)

The SAA models are apparently 'in the mail'. And I hope it is indeed as I have no reason yet to doubt the seller. That A340-600 from Hogan would be a long sought after model indeed. Tomorrow will tell :-)

I see your wish list is also quite large. That is what happens when one start late in collecting. So many good models were released in limited editions and they are very hard to find and then to afford eh?

PS. I understand the reasoning for them striking. Sadly, it is another one in what seems now like an endless series of bad decisions made by government. 'Load shedding' (power cuts) is the latest crisis we are dealing with, and it is said to be on the cards for the next couple of months, if not years. *sigh*

Yeah, started recently, but the I wish they made another of these was more of a side note, was trying to get manufacturers to make some of my favorite planes/liveries that have never been made.

[Phrog74]

Not much better here in the US, my friend, not much better...if at all sometimes

[PlaneCrazy]

How about the Boeing 720 in Continental or any other airline who flew them? From a quick search on airliners.net there are over 1000 pictures of these for inspiration!

[fleetlordatvar]

More 747's & BAE 146's... more 727 won't hurt either. What more regional like Canadian airliners or other 2ndary airlines.
