I recently discovered the Flight Miniatures models on the Airline Superstore site and I was really happy with their quality for such a low price. Most of their models are under $25 (a lot under $20) yet they look like a model that would cost atleast twice as much.
I have seen threads on here about Flight Miniatures, and some have mentioned they collect them, so I thought I'd start a thread where we could post some pictures of our collections.
We could also extend this to other plastic snap-fit model lines as well like Hogan and Skymarks.

American Mad Dog:
CO 737-800:
AirTran 717-200 (Old Colors)
I wish Flight Miniatures made the AirTran 717 in the new colors as well. So far no dice on that. I'd get it from Sky Mars but it is a different scale, and it is nice to have all 1:200 models, then you get to see how they compare in size in real life.

I like the Delta MD-80. That one catches my eye everytime I go to the Flight Miniatures site. The Mad Dog looks great in the old Delta colors and the new as well.
I really hope FM comes out with the new AirTran livery.

Well, here's my collection, so far.

My glass is neither 1/2 empty nor 1/2 full, rather, the glass itself is twice as big as it should be.

Those are made by Sky Marks I believe and have a scale of 1:130. I'm hoping that Flight Miniatures comes out with a 1:200 AirTran New Livery. They have the old one in 1:200, just not the new one.

I just bought a TWA 727 and TWA L1011. I picked them up from the Operation Liftoff store, in St. Louis (they sell TWA & Ozark stuff for charity) for $15 each. I had to give close to $30 for my NWA DC-9, at someplace online. I wish they made a 707, a CV-880, and a DC-8.

Quoting Trekster (Reply 13): My BA fleet, 2 744's a 757, 2 concordes, a 737 and a 767
The 744s look really nice. I was going to buy the A380 in the A House colors, but I think I'm going to wait for the 744 B house colors to come out. And I'm guessing Skymarks will eventually have 747-8 model.

My next purchase is going to be a 757...1:200 of course. And then comes the dilema. I want to either get a Continental or a US Airways (new colors). Sky Marks is the only one who has the NC but in 1:150.
I guess I just have to wait for Flight Miniatures to update their fleet and hope for US Airways new colors. Those look awesome on the 757.
