Thumbs up Great Mackey & Panagra Pics

To all who replied to my original post about Panagra; Thanks. Especially the pics. Those brought back great memories of my younger years growing-up in Florida when Mackey CV-440s, Eastern 727s & National Airlines DC-10s would fly over my house enroute to PBIA, be it departures or arrivals. Mackey propliners would make a great 1/200 die-cast model. I know there is alot of 1/400 scale propliners out there; but they just can't catch the detail of 1/200. Believe it or not, the most detailed propliner (or should I say turboprop) I ever saw was a TU-95 "Bear". I'm not sure who made it but it was a die-cast model. Like I said before, I'm new to the 1/200 scale die-cast scene, so I'm sure there is alot of great companies/selections out there. 1/200 scale will be my "happy medium" between the 1/400 scale and the travel agency-size airliners I've collected. (I guess that means more display shelves-).
