New British Airways, Malaysia Airlines Models

british airways malaysia airlines model planesToday I take a break from our usual format. In my happiness, I just have to blog that I’ve acquired two more airplane models, both bought by my dad in his very recent trip to London (via Kuala Lumpur).

The first is a Malaysia Airlines B747-400 bought at the plane’s “Golden Boutique” inflight shop. The second is a large model of a British Airways 747-400, bought at Heathrow’s duty-free store.

The latter is actually more of a toy rather than a ’serious’ plane miniature; I can already tell that without opening the package. Heck, it’s light, and the “8+” imprinted on the cardboard suggests I’m the proud owner of a toy that some 9-year old kid across the ocean is also playing with right now. Too bad I wasn’t there myself to pick the best model. Still, this is better than having no model plane at all! Thanks Dad.

I’ll be featuring these models in their own posts in the next few weeks. Three other planes have been lined up, as well as items from my wishlist. Keep checking out this site for these future entries, or subscribe to the RSS feed so you’ll get updated the hassle-free way. ‘Til the next post!

    [...] If you’re a hobbyist, clearly explain to your close relative/friend that they should not buy a toy for you. Case in point at my aircraft models blog. Oh well, as I realized not too long ago, there’s a thin line separating a miniature plane model and a toy! [...]

    Wow! Didn’t know you’re into plane models. A friend of mine is a serious enthusiast and collector. Will tell him to stop by here.

    Hi Senor, thanks for the visit! Yeah, even I am surprised by my newfound interest in these models. And my collection is still small — 9 planes so far, sure to be dwarfed by that of a serious collector. :) Thanks again!
