Default Just got my first 1/250 GJ!

I just recieved my Delta MD-88 and it is really a super nice model. I've only collected several 1/400 scale models previously, but I really like the size of the 250 better. Also the paint and detail is really nice. I have the Alaska MD-80 and AA 737-800 on order now too. I didn't buy the Delta 737 because it is in the older paint scheme and I'm trying to keep my collection in current colors. I'm hoping they come out with some more current schemes and modern aircraft soon. I'm hoping for an AA MD-80 and 757!!

I've been waiting for my Aeromexico DC-8 to arrive for a couple of months and it's supposed to be on the way. Don't know what's been the hold up!!!

It will be my first, have the Air Jam on order now too.

I ordered from Aarons Hobby Supply. Took about a week to get here but oh well. It's better that it takes a few days so I don't try and spend more money!

I'd like to see one of those 737s in Southwests new livery too, but add that to my mile long wish list! Anyone know whats coming up for August?

BTW, I went ahead and ordered the Delta 737...seems like these things are selling out quickly so it might be valuable.

I ordered from Aaron supplies too, and usually get my orders in a decent amount of time, however this is part of 4 orders, for which I have been waiting now over a month! I am very upset as I am a very good customer of his, and I seem to be getting the run around.

Hmmm..it took me about a week to get my Delta MD-88 from there. I have my other 3 or 4 orders through there too so we'll see how it goes. I can't really say from experience though as that was my first order through them. It only takes a day for my orders to arrive after they are shipped since I live in the same state. I thought the prices were alot better than ordering directly from Gemini. Even sellers on Ebay have higher prices than Aarons does.
