I too have a collection of 1:250 Siku airliners. They are really cute and reflect the period of the late 1950's and early 60's so well. The Starliner is my favourite of course! But I have to say that DC-8 is great (sits nose down beautifully) CV880 Swissair and Delta is surely a most unusual choice for that period (well done Siku for being so bold).
The buildings and hangars and airport playmat are terrific. Also made were passenger steps, fire engine, refuelling truck and the smallest ambulance you'll ever find (you can hardly see it with my eyesight!
I may part with it all one day. Happy collecting. PS The Comet, DC-6/7 , Starliner and TU104 were issued 10 years ago as plastic kits made in Eastern Europe.
