Indeed Aaron. Those two models don't exactly grow on trees. It seems you and I are hunting many of the same models...and it seems you are having far more success than me! Props!
I do have the 757 Widget arriving shortly though. Yay!

Neil I had the Delta pictured above, sold it about a year ago :/
Your widget should arrive soon. My estimate is that you should get it by the end of the week, early next week tops

Re: American and Delta 757's
Hi Aaron, Very cool and sweet additions to your collection! I have both in my 1/200 fleet. I may sell the Delta this week at the YYZ show, since it no longer fits within my collecting criteria. Cheers! keep on collecting! T7

Re: American and Delta 757's
I'm jealous! I was never able to find the AA 757 while I still had my american fleet. Where did you get it if you don't mind me asking???

Re: American and Delta 757's
Have the American, but glued the gear in so the value is gone on that one.

No worries Will! I'll find that one eventually...AA too.
Patience is one of my few virtues.

Re: American and Delta 757's
Many of Gemini 200's American 757 (and 737) models arrived with antennas loose in the box. I have about a dozen of them, including doubles. Most were purchased new from various retailers and they all shared the same issue: missing antennas. I presume the factory didn't use glue on these tiny parts fearing it may smudge the polished finish.

some of the model stuck to the foam, and you can't really get the foam off the model with out damaging the paint from washing it with thinner.
Anyway i to me the AA 757 looks great, best looking 757 out there

Re: American and Delta 757's
Can you post pictures of the bottom of the DL? I'm working on a custom and cant find a good picture of the bottom.
Thanks, IranAir

Or it could be a typical QC problem. Too many of my GJ's have arrived sans antennae, good thing I bought backup photo-etched versions.
