Default I got a free one!
This morning, while pouring cereal into a bowl, a Tou-ca-no fell out of the box of Fruit Loops. There was a Post-It note attached saying it was a free model along with 250 Americanb Advantage miles. What a country!

What they merged. There goes the value of my Continental collection. Does this mean we will have Green Meatballs now.

Tucano is out of business. Finally! As said before, Phoenix Models is distributing the already made Tucano models.
Swiss Asia MD-11 is already out and here the Swissair DC-9.

Ah yes, Contilingus. They never started ops due to the Rolling Stones suing them into the ground (no pun intended) because they had painted their "big lips & tongue" logo on the tails of their aircraft.

Welllll, most of them have their decals on all caddywompus, but they are not cracked or yellowed due to me not taking them out of the box.
