Shouldn't it be 145UA, not 143?

Stabs look more accurately painted than 99.9% of 747 models out there. Silver should taper a bit more though--too much silver at the tip.

Hmmn--hard to tell at this angle, but the stabs look mounted high. Of course, stab trim will affect the angle, but the previous TWA twin-stripe release looked spot-on for the "normal" stab angle. Really need a sideview to tell if it's due to the actual height they're attached at or the angle they're mounted at---either way it looks different from the previous mold.

Yes yes yes yes yes!!!! Can't wait to have this!!! Now all I need are a few of the B737s and a couple of them in Shuttle dress and the gray fleet will be complete!!!! Woo Hoo!

Not counting the commuters of United Express ofcourse!

Nice looking model but still one of the ugliest planes ever produced.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Some things are so ugly they are cute, i.e. the AMC Pacer, the Citroen 2CV, the VFW 614, the AN-12, and Ford Trimotor, to name a few!
