You need that British Airways B707 done by Aeroclassics. It took me two years to get it at the right price but waiting did pay of.

Great collection, and interesting approach, to do it by registrations rather than airlines.

I have some of those models:

-GJ BOAC
-GJ Dan Air
-GJ Britannia
-AC Monarch 720
-AC British Midland

The Gemini's are awful - it is a shame to display them alongside my AC 707s. I actually dropped the Britannia 707 on the floor a few weeks ago, resulting in some paint chipping off it, the tail and wings coming off and permanently losing an engine which has no doubt been sucked up by the hoover since then. Am just so glad it wasn't one of my Aeroclassics 707s!

I'd like to see the Britannia 707 done by Aeroclassics - not just because I destroyed my GJ version, but because I like the Britannia livery and would like to see it on a decent mould. I guess the chances are slim, though...

Hi Dispatcher

I think most of us would agree that the GJ 707 mould is lacking when seen side by side with the AC but as these are the only version available for these liveries I've got to have them. The upside to both the Britannia and the Dan Air is they come with a 737 and 727 respectively which also fit perfect with my collection criteria and they are available at a very reasonable price
