I've recently got back into collecting 1:400 models after a break of a few years. When I started collecting aircraft, 1:200 seemed to consist of snap together plastic or wooden models. After finding this forum and looking at a few 1:200 models I have decided to add one to my collection just to break it up a tad.

Whats the general opinion on the different brands and what type of model do each brand produce? I'd preferably like to add a die cast model but I'm not too sure who or what to go for. I'd love an Inflight200 BA 744 but my budget wont stretch that far.

So far I have seen two models that have caught my eye. These being:-

Gemini200 Airbus A321 Monach Airlines

Inflight200 Boeing 703 British Airways

What are the pro's and con's of each model and which is the better one to go for?

Also, is there any news of a die cast 1:200 777 being released soon?

Thanks
Matt
