Talking Is nothing sacred ?? (ATTN Andrew Klein!)

Dear Andrew,

I would love to see your company offer the following 747s in 1:400 scale:

Braniff Orange -100

BA Hong Kong Tail -400
BA Scotland Tail -400
BA Holland Tail -400

I missed out on these the first time (i.e. the Geminis), so I'd like to have another crack at them! You might p1ss some speculators and diecast day traders off, but I say "Tough sh1t!" Let them take their speculating to the stock market or Las Vegas!

Speaking of collectible 747s, I do own the Qantas F1, Pan Ams, Virgins, etc, but it'd be no skin off my back should you decide to release those too!

Great choices KJC, I would also like a Canadi>n 744 C-FBCA
"Grant McConachie", old and/or new colours and a JAL 741 old colours.
It would be nice if AC continued to supply the models that nobody else wants to make but we really want, rather than slipping into the mainstream regular release fracas, of which there are already too many players.
Unique liveries and AC quality spells success in my book!

No more 747s. Atleast not from another manufacturer that doesn't currently have any.

He's going to have some soon, so why not release some highly desirable models that many people missed out on the first time?

I want more narrowbodies as much as anyone, and am cramped for space, but was just making a request for a few that are high on my list, which I'd gladly make room for (but not at $100+ apiece!). I'm really salivating over the prospect of retooled props, more Russian jets, and hopefully a Comet I and IV!

Great choices K! I must admit I was dissappointed to hear AC are to make 747's when we already have several excellent 747 models from others like DW, GJ when we're still waiting for the A310, MD90, DC9 (apart from -10), F70/100 and many others. I'd kill for the Comet! Some 747's I hope to see from anybody prepared to do them are;
NCA 742F
JAL Super Logistics 742F bare metal
Korean Air Lines 742 (oc)
ANA 744 (regular ANA)
British Caledonian 742
all those BA tails

Allright! Comet 4's, now we're talking! I can see my AC collection growing rapidly in 2004!

2004? 2004?? Oh, the anticipation!

Well, at least my wallet will have had time to recover...

(It feels like that's a long way away. But it's interesting to see how far in advance these things are planned.)

Hubba, hubba! United Arab Airlines should be the first Comet 4--smokin' livery that was.

I guess this means I won't be starting my own company to make Comet 4s. I was going to call it "The Hot Mould Model Company". My business plan was simple: poor quality and outrageous prices. All that's a dream now...

OK AK, since I won't get rich off the Comet 4 I expect you to have a 2003 Ducati 800 Supersport--in YELLOW-- delivered to me by January 1.

Great to know a Comet 4 is coming, I hope all the liveries will be represented Is there any chance of a Comet 1? For all that it had a disastrous service life the Comet 1 is one of aviations genuine milestones and an aircraft of trememdous historical importance that deserves to be represented in model form, also in my own opinion the UAT Aeromaritime Comet 1A was the nicest of all Comets.
