The Phoenix Ansett 737-300 is a fantastic model. Interesting how they had Business Class Seats on them, one of the only Airlines to do it I think.

[ALITALIA_747]

Yes, i agree about the model. I also have the Flag tail livery which i will post pics of, when i can find them!!
<DIV>As for the seats, i dont really know. Steve, will be in the know?</DIV>

Cert had biz class, even 1st class at one time im sure In sure i flew up front a# of times and enjoyed the priveledge

[ALITALIA_747]

Wow, 1st class in a B737! That would have been good to see. Ansett were a great carrier, so it does not suprise me at all.

[steve k]

can confirm a cpple 1A &amp; 1G seats acord to my log, window seats as i recall

[ALITALIA_747]

Nice Steve, its really good how you have it all recorded ina logbook.

1st Class in a 737! Ansett were the greatest Airline. Did they have Business in their 737-200's too Steve?

1st Class in a 737! Ansett were the greatest Airline. Did they have Business in their 737-200's too Steve?

1st class yes, 4-12 seats usually.,seperated from the economy section.

I find it amazing how they had First Class on the Pocket Rockets, just goes to show what kind of demand Ansett had back in the day. IMO they were too good of an Airline for today's market, they probably would have had to majorly budget to fit into today's market.

Ok, the next images to cross my path are those of my two Jet X Ansett DC-9's. I still remember when they were released. A certain someone with the initials AK said dont buy them, they will come on a better mould, blah blah, talk sh*t etc. Well its been 2-3 years now and these are the only ones available in 400 scale and am happy to have them.

Well he does speak fluent .......... lets say effluent!!!!

nice models, yes i have em, and they look great!!!

[Ansettman08]

The DC-9's look great. I like Jet-X, I reckon they make great models, don't know what AK is on about tbh... How many Deltas and ANA's do you have all up?

[ALITALIA_747]

The only problem with the Jet X model was the cockpit printing, which was fixed when Gavin Miller kindly printed out some decal sheets for us.
