it's a nice model. but r they out of their mind? why dont they make it to 2000 units allowing every collector to have a chance to get one.

Recently, some ppl r giving up collecting 1:400 in HK. One of the reasons is that it's getting difficult to get some DWs' special model like this one. so ppl turn to Herpa again. Actually, my herpa's 1:500 collection is getting bigger. may be one day i will give up DW and collect herpa again. think abt it DW if u r watching this.

I'll buy this one if it makes it to Vancouver. It's a cute little bugger!

I will buy one of these. Something different is always refreshing to the old collection.

Saw this on the apron at Bangkok's Don Muang Airport. Looks really neat. Besides, it's one of DW's best moulds. Thumbs up from me.

Nice, but not for me. Why don't they just quickly do the 3 "normal" airlines (TWA, Air Tran, QANTAS) left to do, THEN do the requisite "funky 30th anniversery of the lavender festival of trees" Asian liveries......

i like i like!!!!!

will get this 100% when this arrives here....

this surely looks very very similar to the CEBU PACIFIC dc9. now if only someone will produce those lovely dc9's of cebu pacific... the tropical, centenial, the one wiht the musical instruments, and the regular livery... maybe DW's? since they make really good moudls of those types of airframes.... ill be waiting hehehehehe

chicken is right! i would love too see the other livery... the one with the temple... its really very nice to put them side by side with each other.

now, there is a posibility for a re-release.... just like what happened with the SAA nidzani....

im sure this wont sell out fast, but again... hype can have its effects.... but i may be wrong here ... just my opinion...

Once again, Dragon Wings decided to show more detail of the box in their photo rather than the model itself. Why do they insist on doing this?! That's poor marketing.
