So, this pair of somewhat older late model Airbuses are both 1:400 scale and made by GeminiJets. Both are very heavy diecast - a lot heavier than you would expect for their size. The large A330 weighs more than your average 1:24 but it'll be able to "land" on the roof and support itself on an average 1:24 car model. The big 'Bus is a 2002 A330-300 that was formerly a Northwest jet until NWA was taken over by Delta. The big Bus is based in Minneapolis and used mostly on flights from the US midwest to Western/Central Europe, while the smaller 'Bus is a 2003 A319-111 owned by EasyJet based in London-Luton and used for low-cost leisure flights to Spain/Portugal (think of your average Southwest/Air Transat/WestJet flight and apply the model to the UK). And for size comparison, there's a airport bus, and standing in front of it is the pilot. Amazing, eh?

Wow! That bus is tiny! GeminiJets makes some superb models, and I'd love to get some. |
