PSA MD80 ...Catch THIS smile !

Retroguy · 07-01-2006, 05:49 PM

Just purchased it today from oceanwings....its a beauty,...nose area could be better, but its a nice model/release!
Let me share with you fellows and PSA Lovers my pictures from the model, taken a couple of hours ago....not that good, sadly, since I'm starting to feel a bit ill,...better take a couple of aspirines and go to bed.....

Just a quick thankyou RUI. Your renditions are always tops. My US AIR and when I receive it the PSA MD-80's will be displayed on my desk on either side of my retirement glass stand that I received from US AIRWAYS when I retired a few years back. I'am sure that it will look just great. Hope that you feel better and continued success. mike.

I don't collect these 250 things, but I thought that you might like to know that www.collectablejets.com/lile is selling a few pretty cheap.

If I was the owner of a company that made jets like these, I'd want to use your artful style of presentation to display my models up close. Great job and GJ would be wise to contact you. These are so much better than the overhead shots we get as a default from them.

Keep up the great work.

We have - many of our model shots on our home page/collection page were done by Rui. He's the best, especially his action shots.

Only reason we stopped was because customs in Portugal is too difficult to work with, charging either Rui or us an insane amount of customs fees.

I caught this smile courtsey of Dave's Diecast. Many thanks for a smooth transaction!

Well, Im glad it made it to you. I take mine out everyday, and just look at the beautiful detail on it. These pictures make it that much better.

Now, I cant wait to see a PSA Bae-146 in 1/200 Gosh, I hope someone does one soon.

Jet-X??????

richie154 · 07-07-2006, 11:50 PM

I personally really want an AirCal MD-80 to go with the PSA bird.

BAe-146s from both carriers would also be nice.

psalover · 07-08-2006, 06:15 AM

I wouls have to agree that a Air Cal MD-80 wouls be a great next release. Really in either scale, but, I would love to have it in 1/250.Great job!

Well, indeed, Jet-X was the first and only one to have their releases showed this way, all thanks to Brian, he believed my work !
Sadly, the Customs here "knew" me, and when something was being delivered to my door step, those "$#%" just charged me a huge amount of money !!!
it was crazy, and I only have to apologise...
Nevertheless, Brian, could we try it again, when the Bae146 comes out !?
I'd love to be the one doing the pictures for this model, please....

glad you liked the pictures so far!

I wasn't rolling my eyes at whether it was cominng or not ... or whether it is hot or not .. I am one of the people most looking foward to this release ... I have many of high quality Jet-X's in my collection ...

I was just rolling my eyes at Brian's bull s h i t response ..... I was just looking for an update on the progress of the model ... not all that unreasonable considering Brian was the one making all the announcements and postinng pictures on this forum and others proclaiming that the first release would be here in January ... oh well didn't mean to waste his time.

What was bs about it? It's not ready, and rather than throw more dates out of 'next week, next month, next ?" I just got to the point - it'll come out when it's ready. Pure and simple. I want that plane out more than anything, and in fact just got a finished sample in 1/200 last night. But I'm not about to go on trumpeting more potential release dates until I have finished samples in hand.
