My gorgeous Czech models...

A veritible fly-tilla of Dubena-Cesky airliner models...



Back row - 3 Douglas DC-7s and a De Havilland Comet - Front row - 2 Convair CV-880s - Boeing 707 - Sud Aviation Caravelle

DC-7s seem to be the most readily available and are often bundled with the plane I specifically wanted to get. The silver one had cosmetic damage requiring a spritz of paint.

Did we decide that these used the Siku tooling?

Didn't know we had a meeting about that... but indeed they are Siki toys repackaged as kits. Here's a couple sites on the subject...

Yeah, we did, or rather Michael B pointed this out in the SIKU posts.
Nice website. Thanks for the link
35 main aircraft types in 1/250 scale is a lot, and then each airliner had at least 2 variants, and some military ones too.
After a long time collecting these, I am only missing the Connie WV2 and the 'Sky Crane".
I also have all the airport items.
