Jet-X Ansett 146s

NZDC10 · 02-29-2008, 05:04 PM

Hi, can anyone tell when the Ansett 146s are going to be released. I cannot find any at my usual on line retailers. I see there is the Ansett W A 146 flag colour scheme on ebay.

QFA388 · 02-29-2008, 05:37 PM

I ordered mine through Nick at Jetway Models.
Not yet in stock but at least I have secured them.

Unicorn · 02-29-2008, 06:16 PM

They are due for release in March, as its 1 March today Iwould expect they will make their way to retailers in the next two weeks.

I spoke to the DW rep a few moments ago. They are not expecting any new releases within next two weeks. With that said it does seem that sometimes we are taken by suprise and a release of two trickles through the system.

I received my Ansett Air Freight and two Australian Air Express BAe-146's already. Not sure if the Ansett's you're after are from the same batch?

Mine came from Big Bird Aviation Models.

They were announced as "February" releases so I would have expected our favourite retailers to have them in stock by now ...

Abraxas · 03-01-2008, 07:40 AM

Haha... Jedi Master, I'll do my best to get some photos up tomorrow if I can find the time.

QFA388 · 03-01-2008, 05:31 PM

hugo · 03-01-2008, 06:14 PM

They have been released, or most of them - I had/have six different though they are going fact

Unicorn · 03-01-2008, 09:11 PM

My mistake, sorry, I mixed them up with the Jet-X March releases.

Sorry.

Unicorn

Abraxas · 03-02-2008, 02:09 AM

Ok.... in no particular order, some photos I snapped of the three I ordered...

Pretty impressive once again, the Jet-X BAe-146 mould of course is great. The boxes are well illustrated and the Ansett colours seem a bit more accurate than the last attempt

Dan

QFA388 · 03-02-2008, 03:31 AM

Many thanks Dan,
makes me more keen than ever to get mine.
great shots too.

I like Ansett 146s

N. Eberhard · 03-02-2008, 02:03 PM

So far no word from the US distributor....just echoing what PW said.

psalover · 03-02-2008, 03:43 PM

Why is it us in the U.S. Seem to be the last one to get Diecast Airplanes? I see guys in the UK with Inflight stuff before we have it, and now this? I think its B.S. Nick, do you know why?

I will be talking to the Dragon Wings rep on Monday regarding a huge bonehead marketing move they recently made so as long as I have the lads ear I will ask him mid apology why this is.

steve kicic · 03-03-2008, 12:41 PM

I guess that Inflight is here quick because ARD in the UK are behind them and get them in Airmail so that speeds them up and they sell them early as they do with other brands.

In the US you are two weeks ahead on the Gemini's so it swings around.

Dragon in the USA also seems to have very poor release info and seems to leave it late.

The collectors know more of the release dates than they do.......

bigbirdaviationmodels offers fast free shipping on BAe146 models.

goldy · 03-05-2008, 05:58 PM

Jet X distributor says these all should arrive for US distribution the week of 10 March.

And they did. Which means that your usual US retailers should now have these in stock.

Unicorn · 03-16-2008, 05:53 AM
