Reconditioned AM,s

Hello from DFW

Does any reader know if Brian Peckham will "recondition" old Aero Minis??????

I have a old Pan Am 747 that has the decals falling off.....they wont stick!!!! The model is virgin/mint, no paint chips or scratches and totally complete.

I also have a totally bare DC-8 model, complete, only missing paint and decals. I would like to send this to Brian and see if he could place Air Canada or Eastern Airlines decals on and complete my AM collection.

Is this possible?????

Also any news on the next product offering????? I keep reading the DC-8 is the most requested aircraft. I would like to obtain a couple.

Thanks for the replys.

Mr. Peckham is elusive, only corresponds by mail, and has declined requests I've made in the past to refurbish existing models.

I suspect that some or all of his new aero mini's are actually excesses of original stock that he refurbishes, repaints, and remarkets. Regardless of the source, they are spectacular, and while not fast, they provide honest, excellent service.

As of last year, he indicated that they would only sell models June - December, and spend the other half of the year gearing up for sales, etc. Haven't heard from him this year yet, last year's offerings were slim (two models, a CO 737, and USPS 727). We'll have to wait and see.
