Hi Buzzbee. It's good to know that you are still out there.

Thanks for the report on InFlight models, and your own new range. Very interesting. I do have a few questions for you:

1) Can you enlighten us further on the "Small World" range? If not specific release plans, at least your general intentions. Will there be a BEA o/c Viscount 700? Please be sure to post your website address, when available.

2) Are there new InFlight types planned for release, or concentration on new liveries for existing moulds?

3) When you say that the 707 is not being produced by you for InFlight, does that mean it will not be produced, or produced by others? (There is a a crying need- at least I'm crying- for high quality 707 and DC-8 releases in metal.)

Thanks.

Buzzbee:

Thank you for the update, and your rapid response.

You make a very nice 1:200 metal model. The DC-10's are great. May I ask, what future plans you have for DC-10's, as far as airlines? Any thought of a Northwest Orient? Also, are there any plans for any 747's?

Thanks again,

Dino

BOAC NEVER operated Viscounts. BEA used 702, 802 and 806 versions.

Cheers!

Dr. Edmund H. Carus · 11-05-2002, 02:53 AM

Sorry about the BOAC/Cambrian Viscounts. I lived in the US for years and this BOAC operation must have taken place in my absence!

I know both a/c well being brought up in the IOM!

Please see my private e-mail when you get a moment. Thanks!

Cheers!

aklein707 · 11-05-2002, 01:40 PM

How about a "Yellowbird"

And speaking of V700, TCA and Air Canada would go well too!

An Alitalia V700 would also look great next to the Alitalia Caravelle and DC-9 you've already made (and I already have

)

Dr. Edmund H. Carus · 11-29-2002, 07:14 AM

I have spoken to Mike at Western and it is unlikely that he will produce a metal 747 in the near future. The a/c is so big that casting is very difficult. Incidently, Western uses a higher grade of metal mixture than most other manufacturers - this will not show any propensity to warp etc. on ageing.

Cheers!

Are there plans for good castings of Concorde, the Boeing 707 (preferably the 320 Series) and DC8 from anybody please?

With thanks,
