I completely switched from buying PACMIN to Atlantic Models. Here is the rationale: I can get most anything that I want at Atlantic. I am not limited to current aircraft in current color schemes. I get the models from the manufacturer; I don't have to shop airline company stores. I prefer that "one piece" approach, with integral wings - just feels more solid too me. And finally, I can call and talk to the OWNERS of Atlantic if I need something or a model just didn't turn out right (hasn't happened).

I prefer Atlantic and continue to get lots of stuff from them; just got a Southern Airways Martin 404 earlier this week.

Here's a shameless plug for my Yahoo Group: Go over and check it out at, uh: Atlantic Models Airliner Display Group

See ya,
