The seems like a diecast model? Or is it a Hogan, but I don't think I've seen a Hogan in 1:200 in that colour. Great shots though!

Ah yes, Gemini jets. It must be a really heavy baby for it's size even though it is in the 1:200 scale.

Yes it's from Gemini. I also have the American Airlines 737-800 from Gemini.
I have two Hogans coming in (Air Canada 777 and A380 house livery) and I'm already thinking about what I want next

Possibly Hogan Air France 777-300.... but not sure yet

I can recommend the HG AF 773ER, though LeFreak now has mine.

The AF 773ER is a very nice piece though, for a regular release. Very nice, indeed.

More detail on the Collector's Editions and they come fully assembled, like Herpa models. Very nice packaging as well, with quite a bit of information on the box. More expensive, but to me, worth the money spent. Just depends on what your desires are. I crave detail on my models.

Do you own the Hogan AC 773ER? How's the detail on that?

How about the house livery A380???

I don't own that one. I'm selling my collection of current/modern airlines/liveries and going to retro. My generation! But I love 773ERs, obviously.

I actually also find the A380 to be quite ugly but I figured that the largest passenger jet in aviation history is a must-have.

Well you can start off by getting the following

1. Air France Boeing 777-300ER
2. Air France Boeing 747-400
3. Air France Airbus A380

I have 1 & 2, and they are amazing. The Air France A380 has tons of details but i prefer the Skymarks A380s for some reason.

Yes I will definitely get 1 & 2.
As for the A380, I prefer waiting for the real one to enter service (2010 I think) just in case the livery changes.

Air France might be flying the A380 to YUL to replace the current 773 and 744.
