My Aussie collection.

Ok, that last image came out a tad large. Back to the re sizing. The next Aussie model is the Aeroclassics Compass A300! Thismodel has plenty of flaws, but i love it. Hopefully a nice A310 will partner this release one day.
<DIV>REG: VH-YMA.</DIV>

was a must have, in my coll, windowline a tad high but im not si pcky like some, 310 i think i will get customed. same as MD 82 Compass Mk 2

[ALITALIA_747]

Did the A310 actually wear this livery or was it only in the full white livery???
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>The Compass A300 was suppost to be released by S Holdsworth in 200 scale, but i dont think that will be happening anytime soon, due to the large number of TAA and Qantas A300's he has left over.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>A custom 1:400 would be a very safe option, because i dont see any manufacturer even producing or considering to produce any A310 models!</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>

Accordin to engineers iknew(ex Ansett) the A310 was sposed to be painted the same, as history will show, it did not happen in time
VH-YMI was the rego, and i always remember that as
YMI different from all the rest!!!

[ALITALIA_747]

Hehe, i like that last line Steve. Shame that it never made it into the full compass livery.

[steve k]

well if Comp 1 kept going, she was up for a paint job, unfort it did not happen in time
so close yet so far away

[ALITALIA_747]

Same story as the Air Australia A330. Close, but no cigar!!

Un fortunately always the bridesmaid, never the bride

Nice catch John, These are worth their weight in gold! I have two in this livery and one in the new roo!

[steve k]

Getting some really good stuff together now John, heck you'll be overtaking my Aussie collection soon!!!
Old and new roo look great together, damn glad I got them when i did.
Starting to become quite scarce now.
Great shots and happy collecting!

[ALITALIA_747]

Hey Dave, thanks mate. Themodel is a little ripper!! I have placed it next to my only other B717 which is the DWImpulse, and they look great together. Now i need a Jetstar.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>What is the reg of the new roo B717? I cant find it on the database for some reason.</DIV>

<DIV>Hey Steve, thanks for the comment mate. I think i still have a fair way to go before i overtake your collection in quality and quantity.</DIV>
<DIV>I missed this release, as i stopped collecting between 2001-04. I still have a long way to go, thats why i am loving that no new Aussie models are being pumped out atm. Gives me time to play catch up.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I also need to give Andy another plug! He seriously comes through for me all the time. He has got me some hard to get VH-releases, and i cant thank him enough. </DIV>
