this is also interesting to me.

Re: Aeroclassics for Nov released
Hate is a strong word folks. I can't see us going for a beer may be more appropriate. Maybe I simply don't know the history between some members,nor do I need to.

Re: Aeroclassics for Nov released
This has been an ongoing commentary for years. Andrew makes an unpopular statement, everyone reacts, Aeroclassics gets air time and lots of exposure. It's Andrews way of staying in the spotlight. Free publicity.  I got caught up waaay back when DAC and AC were young, so after you read and re-read this scenario over and over, you figure it out. The web allows us all to behave badly, if we choose to; but I'd bet if we all met at a show enjoying this hobby as we do, we'd most likely walk away hobby friends for life. Just enjoy the hobby and dont sweat the small stuff. My two cents- Have a nice afternoon!

I think it would be a great idea to create a section with links to all of the Klink conspiracy threads.

Re: Aeroclassics for Nov released
Yep, you can either enjoy this hobby by collecting, taking photos and researching some history or you can spend your time on forums in very endless silly arguments and getting all serious about topics, that if were to explain them to your girlfriend or wife, she'd laugh her head off. Ready to pick up my Herpa 1:500 Tu-114 from the post office and looking forward to taking photos this weekend.

So what you are saying is that if television exposure is waning for the Kardashians, they should become Aeroclassics retailers/distributors and join these forums?
....hmmm.... interesting notion.

Hmm with AC retailers/distributors releasing future lists before the official announcement and being cut-off on a regular basis, there will be no distribution of these models in the future!
Come back Jimmy Saville, all is forgiven!

Rick,
I can't let this go unstated ...
You are NOT hated and despised ...
I am so tired of hearing Mr.Klein's drivel.
I seem to remember him being previously removed from this forum and granted return under conditions ... What were those conditions again ?
He seems to be routinely violating those conditions ... without repercussion.
I wonder why ?
Mr. Klein ... What do you think you are adding to the discussions here ?
Buddy

Re: Aeroclassics for Nov released
Actually Buddy, what did Rick add to the discussion should be your question, then you might understand and agree with my reply!
My statement to Rick didn't come out of thin air; there was obviously a reason behind it, and knowing ALL the facts, you may want to withdraw your post.
Thanks Buddy!!

Re: Aeroclassics for Nov released
Getting back on topic. This wasn't a thread bagging Mr Klein's writing style and I'm a bit annoyed about the tittle tattle going on. This was a thread discussing the production numbers and methodology of AC especially in respect to the BEA Heralds. That was a very productive conversation if only because Andrew was part of it and so could begin to understand opinion. Not sure we were changing his mind but it was only worthwhile if he was reading it so I'm glad he is part of the forum. For every stupid remark he makes there are plenty of stupid AC bashing remarks too which is rather silly when AC make the best models in 1:400 hands down.
Anyway I have managed to find one place that still has some BEA Heralds left - only the prototype version but its for sale for $35 so I picked one up and it is hopefully on its way to me. I'd have preferred one of the airline service ones but it'll do. If anyone wants one go to:
BUCHair USA Inc.
Andrew - while you're here and you've started Fokkers again any chance of some F-28s!

Most of the time, Richard, most of the time. The other manufacturers have their occasional day in the sun - well some of 'em anyway. Chow, Doug

Re: Aeroclassics for Nov released
With AVIANCA/TACA rebranding in 2013, all the planes will be repainted into the new livery, it will be nice for all us lovers of Central America to finally see from Aeroclassics - after quite a hiatus - the Airbus series - A319, A320 and 321 for TACA in both older and the current livery. And if producers got any balls, they should try harder to get the license for the E-190.
While on that topic, Phoenix is better suited to take on the 73G/73H for COPA as I have yet to see a 737NG done by Aeroclassics. Aeroclassics did a wonderful job on the 320 family and especially a great job on the landing gear . . . however . . . don't rest on your laurels . . .GJ has come out with a fantastic A320 mould.
