Hello my fellow Canuck friend from Toronto!

First of all your picture taking skills are very good, photos are sharp and that's really all that we need to admire the beautiful arrivals you've got there.

The Qatar and Etihad ones are my favorite for sure!

Keep 'em coming!

Is the Etihad A345 a snap-fit Wooster-type model, with landing gears additionaly equipped?

Wow, the Pan Am looks so familiar with mine..

Cant afford to have a IF200 one....so tried to make one using a Hogan model though its not perfect but gives me nice feel for having a Panam Billboard...Btw win_arc your Panam is great...

Now these are the type of threads I love, full of Hogans and Risesoons. The Wooster EY A345 doesn't look half bad. I had to do a double take when I saw it. The PA 747 is very good but instead of the Hogan UTA 747 you should have used the Swissair model as a donor as that has the correct PW engines.

Thanks Moin....I will change the engines soon...

What you can do is get the Swissair 747, switch the wings/engines and use these alongwith the Swissair fuselage for another custom 747 which has GE engines. Btw wasn't it you who sent me a PM recently?

Ya abt the EK 772

Great arrivals Khalid!! That colour of the SV 747 still bothers me. I think the ones RS/SM released earlier had the right colours.

Not hijacking your thread but with a bit of detailing the RS/SM SA A346 is not too bad

Thanks Freak...I love both Hogan and RS/SM models...I have VS and LH A346 from RS/SM and I also added a bit details and they look beautiful...Plastic and Resin are for me...they are not that expensive and they don't end up having paint cracks like some diecasts...no offence to diecast fans

1:200Freak · 03-13-2010, 01:31 PM

I almost mistook that EK 772 for the Cargo version. Where did you find that one? Would love to have that. Directly from Risesoon?

Got that from Airkuro... (ebay:dreamflyer)

mjabbasi · 03-13-2010, 05:16 PM

Come on Freak, offload that SM SAA A346 and get the HG version. Those rear cabin windows look like skylights.

The EK 772 is the standard 772 (non-ER early production version) which has come to KHI many times (which is why you may want to get it. Its made by RS but for some strange reason they don't have any or know anything about it.

Hopefully Hogan may get the SV colors right.

At CAD 59.95 I am no big rush to get the overpriced HG A346!

I'd like the EK 772 because I flew on one but E6-EMG

Hope Hogan gets the colour right

Wow! Great Arrivals! That SA A346 is Indeed Magnifico! Like Freak mentioned, it is overpriced. But it looks like a Diecast!
