 Given the general improvement in 400 scale models in the past 6 or 7 years new releases can sometimes look a lot better than old ones. If you've been collecting a long time then that will likely pose an increasing issue for you as new releases of models you already own are re-released. The dilemma then becomes should you replace the old version with what you hope is an upgrade or should you stick with what you have?

 Concorde was of course a special achievement, which cast off its failure to gain an aura of greatness as the years went by. In 400 scale Concorde releases have been rather sporadic and even though there have been 24 British Airways releases the Landor scheme is very poorly represented among them. I consider myself lucky therefore to have recently received one of those as a gift from a friend.
 Dragon Wings get a lot of flak nowadays, especially from younger collectors. Some of this is warranted but a lot of it isn’t. For their time they were excellent models and many of their production remain really nice and more than capable of holding their own in any collection. I admit I have been gradually replacing old Dragon models as replacements become available but Waffle’s last collection sale gave me the opportunity to reassess my opinion of the Dragon DC-10 as there were four, I just couldn’t resist.
