Wanted - 1/400 Qantas A300

Groover158 · 01-10-2008, 05:37 AM

Hi all,
I suspect I have well and truely missed the boat on the 1/400 Aeroclassics Qantas A300. But on the off-chance that I haven't, are there any still available? and if so, can someone direct me to the seller. I have emailed Collectablejets as directed by their website on Monday (immediately following a post by Presidential in this forum), and have not received any response. If as I suspect the opportunity has passed me by, I would like to get hold of one or more of the Blue Box examples. Can anyone advise if they are still available and where I can get one.
Thanks,
Ray

Ray, I'm not sure if it was helpful but I just sent you a PM! Good luck!

Ray,

The Blue Box ones have appeared on eBay, and I suspect maybe even Hobbyco might get them eventually? Also, St Louis/Daves Diecast promoted they'd be getting them in, but I'm not sure how many they may still have free.

Good luck with your search.

Dan

Scoot around ebay Ray as the BBx versions are starting to appear.
Try CAM for the AC version.

See you have a new location in good ol Adelaide now.

Hey Tim, I will definitely be scooting around Ebay for the BBx versions, and unfortunately CAM is all out of the James Cook series. Yes, the family and I have finally hit Adelaide after travelling from Canberra via Brisbane (3300km). Enjoying the scene here so far, we even caught three decent Sand Crabs off the Henley Beach Jetty this evening. We move into our new home this coming Tuesday. The house is new, and more importantly, it's air-conditioned. I tried to PM you but your profile doesn't allow it. I look forward to catching up soon.

Ray,
PMs are on-line now.

Hope you enjoyed your Henley dinner.
You will need the aircon especially if we have more 40C+ days like last week.

When we catch up for some spotting at ADL we can include Tiger Airways morning and evening runs from MEL.
When you get a chance, check the ADL airport website which shows a full listing of arr and deps.

Glad you had a good trip over and look forward to meeting you.

Heya Tim,

You're a difficult man to reach! (Unless I call you on my mobile!) PM's, and I'm not sure if some of my emails from a couple weeks ago managed to break through? I hope that 'issue' you mentioned on the phone last time has sorted out?

In any case, nothing urgent, just the usual chat... and if you're still heading in to Sydney we could plan another meetup I'm sure

Regards from,

Dan

Dan,

Still travelling as you know.
Will be in SYD next week per usual and ADL all the following week, then back to SYD.

Yes thankfully, he was a very lucky kid. He is out of hospital now. The 4wd was so bad (total write off) that even the cops didn't know what sort of car it was. Not how I wanted to start a new year.

Have been caught up with some stuff at work but I don't recall an email. Will check again but calling the mobile is fine. Only thing, it doesn't work where I live in the hills cause of poor Optus coverage.

I will try calling you next week.

Good to hear Tim!

Email was just full of pics, you can find them in the Spotting threads on these forums now

...and was asking your advice on tracking down some hard to find models.

Chat soon,

Dan
