Very cool collection. The TAA 727 @ img4369 resonates strongly with me as was first trip on a jet a/c as a lad.

Couple more arrived. This one was a rare one - Wunala Dreaming 747 had both Rolls Royce and GE engines at different times so picked up both models. IMG_4824 by Ned Dawson, on Flickr IMG_4825 by Ned Dawson, on Flickr

Had four arrive yesterday - slowly filling in all the gaps. Have a great supplier who helps us search for all the models we need to complete our goal which is a collection of all models showing Australian and NZ airlines and military (except for the fighters). Still got a few to go but every few days he will come up with a few more for us IMG_4918 by Ned Dawson, on Flickr IMG_4919 by Ned Dawson, on Flickr IMG_4920 by Ned Dawson, on Flickr IMG_4921 by Ned Dawson, on Flickr

pjw4118 - To be honest not too fused about the dust. I have them all on shelves here in my apartment.

What brand would you say has the best quality/accuracy etc? I thought 1/400 diecast models were hideously expensive but the 1/200 scale items make my eyes water in terms of cost .

It actually depends on which models as some brands are great with some moulds and horrible with others. The newer models there are J C Wings, Gemini and Inflight. I stick with metal ones and not the diecast resin ones.
