Yeah, saw this, although nothing really tickling my fancy on their list, much of my funding is wrapped up in pending orders anyway...Sabena, Argentinas and Firefighting 747s as well as 2 calibre wings F-14s and a MiG 25 on order!

still there maybe something there for someone. skytrain dc 10 was already sold out when I looked. could have saved over £40 on the IF HIGHLAND EXPRESS 747. but who knew it would come up in a sale! ARD don't do that many!!

you still get an extra 10% off if club member. highland express 747 WAS £84 +. after logging in, it came down to £76 +.

Ordered Condor B744 and British Caledonian Shorts 360. I'll definitely need a bigger flat soon.

geeforce9 · 03-18-2017, 07:17 AM

I was surprised to see the LH and Condor models, thought they'd have been fresh out a long time back. Still, good that some collectors get a nice deal.

just noted a few more have been added. a few taken off. so worth checking again occasionally over next 3 days.

No, but he buys up models from ARD and sells them on E. Bay.

Well how come he sells them for LESS usually, and has a 'best offer' option than ARD themselves?? and he has to pay ebay + paypal fees???

robertjon5 · 03-18-2017, 10:12 AM

This just looks like the picture has been mirrored. Everything is back to front.

MSR777 · 03-18-2017, 02:23 PM

Yup, definitely a 'flipped' image.

I bought the RAF C130

travsuz · 03-18-2017, 11:08 PM

WOW Some good deals. JFox Qatar 777 for $56, but shipping is $58, sooooo...not sure I want to pay more for shipping than the model. Been looking for this one though.

Then how come they are posted by ARD?
I recently got a model off ebay from Bundys and came from ARD in a box with an ARD postage label.... So I still think one and the same.

MD11BEN · 03-19-2017, 12:23 PM

I went for the BA 77W, looks nicer than the Gemini with the added details. Now just to find a first release 744 in BA colours by Inflight...

They are indeed. I too have bought many models from Bundys and they have all come from ARD.

I pulled the trigger! Can't hardly beat a IF 777-300 for $56 USD. Even though US shipping was expensive still cheaper than any of the US dealers at nearly $150+ for the same model.
