| B737-700,
Southwest Airlines |
Limited
edition. Well designed and constructed,
but with an odd ruptured-duck look. The wings are rough along the
leading edge, and curve upward. The wings are narrower and longer
than the 737-500 and the winglets at the wing tips are a bit heavy.
The model looks much better in real life; the digital camera picks
up flaws normally passed-over by the eye.

| B777-236
, British Airways, Landor Colors, Sir Frank Whittle |
Limited
edition. Somehow, Landor colors aren't particularly
suited to the B777. It's not the model's fault, nor the color's. It's
just that the B777 has a sort of common look, and Landor colors don't
do anything to freshen it up. The B777 needs lipstick and rouge, but
is getting a business suit instead.
The model is well painted, assembled, and packaged, and should be
included in any Landor collection. Just don't call her plane-Jane.
