Dear Collectors! I would like to thank you again for visiting my site during this year! I hope you enjoyed getting fresh news (for the most part of the year;-) and details concerning aircraft models!?  Looking forward to your feedback during the next year and to the news at the Nuremberg Toy Fair (7th to 12th February 2008)! Perhaps we can meet at Nuremberg or Dietenhofen during this time! I wish joy and happiness not only at Christmas but every day of the New Year 2008 to all of you:-) Happy collecting and best regards from Kirchhellen, Germany Peter

Schuco/Inflight:

Announcement at www.inflight200-models.com: "European Distribution changes for 2008 2008 will also see a change in distribution for Europe. Unfortunately the relationship between Schuco and Inflight is coming to an end at the end of 2007. May we ask if you are a retailer within Europe who carries the Inflight 200 models or wishes to carry the models then please contact us via email: inflight200@hotmail.co.uk. We are pleased to say we shall be able to offer the models at a lower price than previously offered."

No confirmation until now that this also will affect Inflight500 models!
