Default My first diecast - Cathay Pacific 777-300ER

Im thrilled to have just recieved my first diecast from Arcunia and im very happy with the quality. I'm not sure what people want to see in diecast pictures so i just tried to be slightly different from the standard side shot, above etc...

Hope you all enjoy,

p.s
I think im addicted.

Congrats, nice pics and model there. Ok now you have three diff collecting criteria you can branch off to with this beautiful model.
A-You can begin to collect CX or Cathay Pacific planes. Get a nice fleet going.
B-You can collect the 777 mould.
C-You can collect One World liveries.
This hobby is addicting. I aquire anywhere from 4 to 8 plane on a monthly basis. Like I tell my wife, It's either this or I can be out late at night at the pub or shooting up heroin or the tittie bars hahaha!! I hope you enjoy this wonderful hobby as much as most of us here do!

British Airways, Qantas, AA, Air Berlin, Lan Chile, Finnair, Iberia. I may have missed a few. Lan has a nice 767 One world.

I know they use the 757. I'm not sure about the 777. Check their Wikipedia page. It will give fleet info on what they currently use and how many as well as what they have retired etc.

OneWorld is BA, Finnair, American Airlines, Qantas, Malaysian, Malev (now defunct), Iberia, Iberia Express, Cathay Pacific, JAL, Dragonair, Royal Jordanian, Air Berlin, Kingfisher (now defunct), LAN/TAM (the latter to move to OneWorld after the merger I understand).

Mexicana and Aer Lingus both used to be members but are now no longer.

Likelihood that we may see WestJet, Oman Air, Jet Airways, one of the Chinese carriers and possibly China Airlines join, though the latter may well end up at SkyTeam. Bound to see Comair and perhaps Air Mauritius as well at some point, perhaps Kenya Airways as well.

I would buy the Air New Zealand 773 'All Blacks'. It's gorgeous and makes a nice combo with the Cathay
