I can't wait til I get mine. I bought 2, hah hah... addiction i tell ya...

I don't know about this particular model, but a few things I wasn't pleased with the PH B734s were the fact that Engine fans / turbines do not rotate. Also from nose to the gear was not smooth / curved but rather bumpy(?)

from pix, this one doesn't appear that way, whew. maybe only the B734s?

Oh no, my worst fear came true. FedEX tracking showed, 1.7 pounds, so I was thinking that something was up. I just got the package and it only contained 1 Simpsons jet when I ordered 2... oh man! I contacted Drew @ CJets. Maybe they thought, "who would order two of same?" hehe... Ordered 3 weeks ago, and I finally get it, but just 1... =*(

I thought all along that diecast B737s would weigh approximately 2 pounds, so it was odd for me to see 1.7 rather than along the line of 3.5 - 4 pounds...

But yeah, this "bad-boy" looks great! Say Good bye to Hogan ANA Pokemon!

First seen on final approach:


Then departing for the next leg of the trip (to the cabinet )

photography is all about light. he got the lighting right on the bird itself which makes it look realistic.
