Have you seen the designs that Frontier Airlines have on their planes? I guess you definitely would have. Even Alaska Airlines puts on some wonderful animal themed designs on their aircraft.

Yup!... thats what i thought when i saw this plane... maybe our die-casts are in it!! Tongue

i've seen the liveries on some Alaska airlines planes... fantastic to say the least! Smile

however in the world of die-casts, the more unique the livery, the more expensive the model!! Sad

Kingfisher Airlines A380 (Phoenix)

(Latest addition as of 20 April 2012)

This is a very rare 1/400 scale model...
Kingfisher ordered 5 of these mammoth planes but none have been delivered yet... and with the problems Kingfisher has been having lately, looks like the 1:1s will never go into production!!

I was very happy when i won this in an e-Bay auction!! Smile

this will, no doubt, be one of my prized processions! Smile

Whoa!!The take-off shots look superb!Congratulations on this great addition!

Great shots of the Plane as usual.
Had seen a similar KF A380,I think it was a 1: 200 scale for about 80 euros. I let it go that time.

Awesome man, just awesome. The finishing of these are so neat, keep 'em coming. The white/red combo looks amazing. Also does the wheels have some suspension kinda thing to lift it from the front?

Thanx a ton Slix! Smile

the wheels do not have any kind of suspension!... they are designed to pivot forwards and backwards just like a real 1:1 plane... i made it take off by adding some weight on the back of the fuselage, which can't be seen in the pic! Smile

Freaking awesome Gaurav! That's my favorite plane ever. I didn't have a clue that KF has A380 aircrafts, all I know is that our country still doesn't have proper runways for an A380.

Great haul Gaurav. Congrats!
@Srinjay: We still don't have the A380. KF has only ordered them, not received them. Now I doubt we will ever get to see the A380 in operation unless some other airline orders!
