I was bummed to see the CO -800 is delayed until September.

That must be a major bummer for a CO fanatic like you!

I don't see this on their website, nor do I see any of the Disney planes or the Virgin Blue.

Well, as much as I cannot stand Alaska Airlines, I wouldn't mind having the Disney Tinkerbell, given I've flown on it.

So, it's a Risesoon model and not Skymarks? I guess that means it's not a Supreme model.

Yep, I flew on it from SEA to SFO.

That's not a bad price, given they're 100 scale. I'd still prefer Virgin America, though.

I don't know why I like the Disney planes so much, given I'm not much of a Disney fan. Guess because they're so whimsical in nature.

165 is quite pricey though given that these "supreme" models are 99 msrp

Oh, they are? I guess because it's Virgin Blue?

Hi Guys,

OK, just to fill you in on the Virgin Blue Model.

This Model is my baby- I've worked with Rise Soon directly on this Model so you won't see it marketed under the "Skymarks Supreme" branding.

It has been produced primarily for the Australian market, and I'm the exclusive importer/ distributor of the Model here. A small number have been authorised for supply to other Rise Soon distributors around the World (but not many) in an effort to bring unit price into a workable figure. That's the reason why you'll find that it's pricier than, say, the Alaskan Models- because the production run is smaller. This was deliberate as the Australian market is no where near the size as that of North America.

I'm happy to supply this Model to anyone who is intersted- just contact me at: holdsworthac@bigpond.com and I can quote you a price including sipping to wherever you are.

Cheers all,
Simon Holdsworth.
