Default A quick shot of the 'nentals

Here's a quick (and crappy) pic of some of my CO models. Three are absent from this display: HG 737-700, HG 747-200, and HG 767-400--they're in their boxes right now. I still need the HG 737-900, and all the "meatball" scheme IF200s (707, 747-100, 747-200, DC-9 (black), DC-9 (red). I also plan to acquire the GJ 757-200WL and 1:100 Skymarks Supreme 737-800 whenever they're released--hopefully this summer. Also got something special on the way.

The models in this pic: FM 767-400, FM 727-200, HG 757-200WL, HG 757-300, HG 777-200, SJ 757-200, IF200 727-200, HE Premium 737-300, GJ 737-700, and a Brad Shinn DACO 737-500 in 1/144. (Note this isn't how I normally display them--in fact I don't have a permanent display of my CO fleet as of yet.)

Great collection!

I also want a 757-300 in my (much smaller) collection, but I find the windows and doors on the Co 753 printed a bit too low on the plane (I had the box in my hands many times in the shop)
Is that disturbing????? Can you show a pic of the 753 in close up???
Maybe I`ll buy it later on

greets from Holland!

Is that 737 inside the glass box the HE Premium you were looking for Mike??

You have a pretty CO lineup there...

That is an awesome CO collection. Now what you need is the HG 767-400 and the 1:250 Wooster 747-200.

At first glance, the thread title I misread as 'A quick shot of the mentals' lol!

The Hogan CO 753's window-line and doors are printed too low, you're right. The passenger windows are also too small, and its very noticeable when compared to the Hogan CO 757-200. All in all, I'm not a huge fan of Hogans, at least not of the less detailed releases like the CO aircraft. But for the price, they're alright I suppose.

Thanks, and no, the one inside the display case is a 1/144 scale DACO 737-500 kit I had custom built.

I have the HG 767-400 as well as the HG 747-200, but I didn't feel like taking them out of the box for this picture.

And sometimes the fleet likes to act up, so "mentals" would apply as well.

Great collection though Mike...who else other than you to associate with the "nentals...I like the sound of that..."Have you flown 'nental" yet" should be their new slogan! (not to be associated with "Have you called Jenny yet!!)

Left it behind where? You must add the 764 airframe to your collection.

I think he did include the 764.... only not in the picture Moin....

I agree witn Moin, the 764 is a must have.. I have it in CO colors since only DL and CO own them... and I don't like the DL scheme
