I sold the BMI A320 to FAEDC3. Good luck finding it. I had a tough time with that one and I gave up completely on trying to find the Virgin Sun model.

I would think that in this day and age, that would be even more difficult to find than the model.

The only other Virgin Sun model I've seen in a larger scale was done by Wooster.

The BMI and a few others are more difficult to find, while some are readily available. For example, I've had the Austrian Star Alliance A320-200 for sale now for $10 for quite a while and no one wants it.

Well, I have it but it's because I just bought it from Randy... It took me a while to find one and did not think for a minute when Randy put it out for sale... don't mean to be negative, but it is going to be a tough task to find one.... sorry

It was actually out for a while...what you did do is save it from a burn and crash accident, which I think the Austrian is soon going to suffer.

Randy's "Aircraft for sale" threads need to be taken very seriously....or else the jets land up as burn and crash models ,
