A pity so few were made and for a lot of people it was a sell out whilst they were still sleeping in their beds in timezones ahead of North America. Mind you on the other hand, I've just got my order in for the new Phoenix 772 in Landor scheme.
Thanks so much for the update. I emailed ARD last week when the model was announced. They replied saying they were expecting a delivery in about a week or two but would not allow me to pre order. I guess ARD don't know how many units to expect of limited releases so don't take orders till they have the stock.
Not surprisingly I hit the order button as soon as I read this post!
Landor Hope & Glory!!!!
as I have mentioned before, you can thank huge increases in FREIGHT charges for that! this hobby is going to get very expensive! if it wasn't enough already.
Mine arrived just now from ARD. Nearly 60 quid. Ouch
Nice tampo and like the separately packed nosewheel.
Will post pics this weekend.
And note from my ebay packing experiences in 1/200 thread
ARD sending a 60quid model in a bit of folded cardboard doesn't cut it
Fortunely no damage to model or box.
Aviaction,
Lovely little collection there. Who is the A320-100 model by? Come to think of it who is the B767 by too? I have the B757 by NG models.
I have a B737-200 with those titles by it's by IF200.
Nice quad of models there! Maybe there's a BA expert on this forum that knows why the placements of the Statue of Liberty and Eiffel Tower(?) are reversed on the 757. Deliberate or accident?

A320 is an AeroClassics club model from way back when. And the B767 is by Big Bird 400 from even more way back when.

From pictures on the internet it did seem to vary. 757 is correct both sides.

Deliberate as far as I know, as an attempt to show the journey from both ends.

The NG 757 was sold at one of the London shows as an exclusive. I have one thanks to my good friend Alex. I believe it also came with some cool collector card. It's definitely one of my favourite liveries, and I have an extra GeminiJets Landor G-CIVI release sitting back at home which I did think about giving the "Worlds biggest offer" decal but I believe BA only had the decal on some very early G-BNLx 747-400

Found this image in a British Airways book showing starboard side of G-BNLE. Fingers crossed we see more wide-bodied Landor soon. I am lucky to have all the BigBird Landor Jumbos but I’m pretty sure some re releases wouldn’t stay on the shelves for long.

It was the Gatwick show in April 2019 wasn't it ? I got all three available Landor 757 options then snapped the nose gear off one (poppy) in my travel bag on the flight back to Glasgow.

Could just be a bad example ? I'll post pics of mine when it shows up.
Phoenix have real issues attaching the engines of their 777s properly. They often seem to come either pointing at the ground or sky. I am tempted by this model as well.

Yes I've sent some of mine into the maintenance hangar before.

@ Big Al, it looks good but i see you've got the early release BA Landor DC-10 also in the background in your hangar..
That's the Apollo version, the least impressive of all the choices I have of this model which are Aeroclassics (x2), Gemini Jets and Apollo. The Apollo may now be leaving the hangar for some extended ground time at Attic Airport's storage facility...
