FlyteLine Models will be making some new model productions in the very near future. The goal of FlyteLine Models is not to release models already made in the 1/200 scale. FlyteLine wants to release only models that are new livery such as the new Mexicana and Aloha Air Cargo. Also the Island Air Dash 8-100. FlyteLine will release models made for the airlines and also wants to now make model releases of models for the collectors. Models you would like to see that are NOT on the market in a 1/200 or approximate scale.
FlyteLine will be doing some A310 models we have had many request for. I would like to know what airlines and livery types as well as aircraft types you would like FlyteLine Models to make in the future?

Thanks,

Are your models going to be plastic, like Hogan or Skymarks or AeroLePlane,
or diecast, like Gemini 200, Inflight 200, AV200???? Will they feature landing
gear and spinning engine fans??? Will they be tampo printed or decaled?
FlyteLine Models are made in 1/200 scale solid ABS Plastic like the Skymarks and Hogan models. they are very nice models and already have models on the market not made by either of the two and Mexicana A320 and A330 1/100 scale come out in Oct.
FlyteLine releases models we make for the airlines when we can. FlyteLIne is a full service model maker and mostly does B2B. Flyteline make for the airlines and other businesses mahogany models, crystal airplane models, diecast and resin type models. FlyteLine also makes large scale models for airlines and trade shows.
Flyteline is making their own Branded Line in a 1/200 scale ABS Plastic models. Our goaled is to make old liveries and airlines that have no been made by anyone else. Smaller airlines that have had no models out. In this way we will not be like skymarks or Hogan as we will produce what noboday else has. That is our goal.
for the A310 there are many subjects that are yet to be made in the 200 scale... also how bout considering some Indian carriers and other asian carriers that have NOT been done in the 200 scale... to start with we have the good old Indian Airlines A320\A319\A300 et al. also how bout some Air Mauritius A319\B767... would be a HOT SELLER!!
yes we are looking at a lot of Asian and Europeen airlines as well as many from Africa that no one has made because most of the airlines can not afford to have them made (hard to belive but true). The licensing cost is not worth them being made so the other guys pass them buy. However FlyteLine is planning on limited editions.
We will most likely start with the A310 and Air India is on the list. However we are also looking at other airlines and aircraft collectors would like to see. To help move the production of these models along ask your favorite retailers if they carry FlyteLIne Models. Ask them to carry the line and will help speed up production releases. On a note to the quality of the models FlyteLine was chosen by airliners.net to make their 10 Anniversery model B747-400 for the airliners crew.
it would be nice if you consider some of the following as well:
Oman Air A310 (NC\OC)
Yemenia A310
Ariana Afghan A310
Kuwait Airways A310
Other than A310 might consider the following for other aircrafts:
Air Greenland A330\B757 (VERY HOT)
Air Mauritius B767\A319\B747SP
Arik Air A340
Indian Airlines A320 (OC)\A319 ('Indian' Colors)\A300 (OC)
Air Seychelles A300
Qatar Airways B727
Air Deccan A320 (India)
Go Air A320 (India)
Gulf Air A320 (NC)
You know, for as many times as the name 'Flyteline' has been typed in this post, I am thinking someone is trying to use DAC as a way to get higher up on the Google ratings.
I'd like to see White Airlines A310. They have got of the best liveries on A310 on my opinion. I'd also like to see Air Transat. Will flyteline models have gear?

It will be good to see a manufacturer offer some never-done-before, obscure releases instead of the same run of the mill carriers we keep seeing every month.
One I am interested in is the Tiara Air Shorts 360 in 200 scale. Thought I read a post months ago that a mainstream mfg was going to release this model...not this airline in particular but this aircraft for sure.
An Ecuatoriana A310 with the rainbow colors would be nice to see...also Continental meatball livery on a A300 would be superb. Will you also offer the B727-200? If you do, as a request, Continental meatball liveries would be nice, since we have been teased month after month with them being put out, and we are still waiting and don't think it will materialize. In my opinion I think you will be ahead of the game if you do.
Could you to consider also latinamerican airlines???
Africa, Arabian and Indian airlines are good too... but please not asian airlines(japan,china, sigapore,thailand, corea, etc) .. there are too many of them... ;-)
Picture that is up was a prototype that Mexicana made some changes on. Models are in the process right now of being shipped to us. We also produced in a 1/100 scale the A330-200 for them.
I just visited the Flyteline models website. Looks legit to me, but has anyone ordered anything from them yet?
Yes we are legit. FlyteLine has been making models for the airlines and business. We have mainly been a B2B company and have just started our own branded products with the collector in mind.
I am sure most people here know of airliners.net FlyteLine was chosen to make the 10 Anniversary model given as a gift to the airliners crew.
Can you tell us which plastic/resin molds do you currently have? You'll be getting alot of wish lists (you already have good few up there) but that unpleasant issue of airline 'licensing' will inevitably rear its ugly head.
While not totally wanting to be critical of diecast models, the fact is that they have had, and continue to have many issues as regards QC and flaws while the plastic models have had very few. Also not everyone can afford to buy diecast models on a regular basis. Some may be only $20 to $30 more than their plastic counterparts, but the shipping costs are higher and storage of boxes can be a problem. For some all that coupled together makes a substantial difference.
