Re: 1/200 Commuter Tarmac American Eagle

Beautiful aircraft and layout. I'm currently reading Commuter Airlines of the United States by R.E.G. Davies and I.E. Quastler (1995) and it's one hell of an eye opening read.

I rarely venture into 500 scale, but I like your collection. Do you plan to complement your fleet with NWA? Have to wonder what it was like flying in that aircraft.
