being picky, lacks detail, tail markings do not convince me at all nose ring missing, leading edges of wings not aluminium, was Simon behind this one??? looks no better than my 200 scaler to be honest, very average in my eyes!

--Skymarks release Steve. They do not have the best attention to detail, but for the larger scale collector, it is better than nothing for the time being. I am going to wait for Flightline 200 to release it!!JohnComment

--If any one can---Flight line can, id be a starter for sure!!!! would be an epic model and a must have for me as long as they do it right!!!Collector of aircraft, truck, car and earthmover modelsComment

--It's a shame that these models do not have those little extra details which a larger scale demands. I'm sure it would not add much to the cost and would attract a much bigger collector base.MikeComment

I will be very curious to see how well these sell. I know the Ansett B727 200 Red deltain the same scale did not do to well and that had a landing gear option also.

--Thats the one i Have, its nice to be honest, ntut the flightline one blitzzed it in finish I thought!! a more metallic lower fuselage would have made that model even better!!!Collector of aircraft, truck, car and earthmover modelsComment

--Yeah, the flightline version really did blow it out of the water. The metal version also coming with the Brisbane 82 markings on it.
<DIV>Was the 1:150 a holdsworth release?</DIV>JohnComment

--Sure was!! I saw the mould Simon had and he assured me it would be good, and it was! flightlines just were right size and finish, and look fantastic.IMHO SH is a crusader for us, a true believer and I look fwd to future stuff from him, he ensures quality all the way, others should take lessons from him!!!Collector of aircraft, truck, car and earthmover modelsComment
