Too bad Inflight200 didn't produce a nice 1/200 scale shuttle fleet. They produce some top quality desktop commercial airline models. I have three, two Boeing 777-300ER and one 787-8 Dreamliner and they are phenomenal! Being an Ohioan and living 12 miles away from where Judith Resnik grew up, it would be great to have shuttle Challenger in my collection and to of made an diorama of what it would've looked like displayed in the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. |

That's an awesome model, I tried looking for it at the places that I get my models from; eztoys, Troy's Toys or Airline Museum and none of them have it. Looks like eBay is where I'll have to look for it. |

I'm not sure it's sold out as yet because when a model is sold out the number of units produced is indicated on Inflight's web site. See: here. But the production must have been extremely low (for some reason I have the number 97 in my head) and on the back of the NASA model box it's the American Airlines B747-100 serial N743PA which is depicted. |

I've bought the InFlight200 SOFIA model (without the telescope window) and it's rather lovely — certainly more deserving of its price tag than other die-cast models I've purchased.The Orbital ATK Stargazer model is also on my radar! |

Would also be nice if either Inflight or JC Wings produced a 1/200 scale model of a shuttle carrier 747. |

Has anyone else pre-ordered a 1:200 Stargazer? I must have bought mine almost twelve months ago now and have yet to receive it. Last I heard was around Christmas, and it was still in production then.Also, has there a 1:200 NASA DC-8 ever been produced? I'd have thought that would have been a popular one. |

To answer my own question from several months ago, InFlight200 have only gone and announced a NASA DC-8 model! |

Images of InFlight200's NASA DC-8 and Orbital ATK L-1011 models have surfaced over the past few days. Glad I preordered my TriStar as it comes with a Pegasus XL attached. |

I just received the Orbital L-1011 and have a question for anyone else out there that got one. It seems there are no parts included to change from "wheels down" to wheels up — is that right or is mine missing parts?Also, with the Pegasus attached to the bottom of the plane, it doesn't seem possible to attach the display stand. The only way to display on the stand is without the Pegasus — is that correct? Thank you. |

Inflight200 (and many other diecast airplane manufacturers, unfortunately) only produce models with the wheels permanently down. Some Gemini200 models, Dragon 1/400, some plastic 1/200 models, and 1/72 military models are the only ones that come with wheels up/down options. While I'm sure cost is the main factor, I think some planes would be too unstable on removable gear.Yes, you can only put the Orbital L-1011 on the stand without the Pegasus. The hole is where it is on that mold, and, for this particular model, it is in a bad place. Some of Inflight's older stands were more of a cradle under the airplane as opposed to the peg in the hole type. One of those might work, but I don't have one to test. |

Two new models from Inflight 200: - L1011 Tristar (Orbital ATK) N140SC With Stand & Pegasus XL rocket
Scale: 1:200
ISBN/Box: IF1011ORB02 - DC9-33F (NASA) N932NA With Stand
Scale: 1:200
ISBN/Box: IF932NASA01
I'm curious about how this new L1011 model differs from the previous one (aside from the paint scheme, of course). Any ideas? |

For what it's worth, this one never hit the shelves. I ordered/paid for it in August 2019.The Inflight200 website mentions another P-3 aircraft "coming soon": - NAAS Lockheed P-3B Orion NASA N426NA
Product code IFP3NASA01
Note same product info as the P-3C cancelled model. |

InFlight200 announced two versions of this model: - One without the open door (this one appears to be a reissue). (Product code IF747SPSOFIA02; That model, I just learned made its last flight on October 6 according to this site)
- The other one has a complete different livery (an early one?). Product code: IF747SPSOFIA01

Match up the new NASA C-47 model with a Pontiac Catalina car and an M2-F1 and you have a nice diorama of early lifting bodies at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center c. 1964. |
