@alexcle90830628 No sorry, not in that scale. 1/50 scale models would have to be custom made, if it’s something you’re interested in having done please email sales@aviationretaildirect.com

@ARD_UKShop 1/50

@ARD_UKShop hello by any chance do you sell the aerlingus A321 neo and if so what is the price

Absolute pleasure to meet these three fine Gents today at @ARD_UKShop. On my right is Mike Lowes who has flown the Varsity, Herc, 30 years on the 747 200, 300, 400 and - 8i as well as 777 & 787! Next to me on my Left is Terry Dalglleish who has flown Viscount, Trident B737-2,3,5,6,8 & max, B757 & 767 and is now training on 777 & 787. And on my far Left is Hassan Nejatbakhsh who cut his teeth on ‘Tail Dagger’ DC3, then Elizabethan, Comet 4 (Dan Air) B737 200, B727, B707, B747 classic including SP, 757, 767 and A320! Jokingly they said they probably have 70K Hrs between them! We’ve chatted about a possible Video Pod Cast 🤷🏼‍♂️ with my old Dad’s heritage and love for both the Classic stuff as well as up to date aviation, I could talk for hours with these guys!

@BigJetTVLIVE @YouTube Thanks for calling in guys! Had a great laugh as always!

It’s not just commercial models we stock at ARD! We have these beautiful old spitfires from Corgi’s Aviation Archive range. Some of these models are nearly 20 years old and look at how detailed and amazing they look. #AviationRetailDirect #Modelaircraft #CorgiDiecast #diecastmodelaircraft #GeminiJets #HerpaModels #JCwings #Boeing #Airbus #JFoxModels #InFlight200 #LondonHeathrow #avgeek #aviation #planespotting #spitfire #battleofbritain #ww2models #RAF #RoyalAirForce

Good evening all! ✈️ News about our ONLINE BLACK FRIDAY SALES EVENT! We’ve had a totally manic weekend at ARD. We attended an event at @British_Airways Waterside on Thursday where we were invited to come and sell all of our fabulous BA stock to all the folks at Waterside. We had a great time so massive thanks to all at BA for getting us in! Friday and Saturdays late night openings were great fun too! Especially with Jerry and Gilly from @BigJetTVLIVE coming in on Friday to showcase our stock and show off our Black Friday Sale event. Thankyou to Jerry and Gilly for putting out a show for us, my brain is still frazzled from replying to everybody on the chat! 💬 Some good news to end, our online sales will go live on the website tomorrow where you will find lots of amazing new deals on the Black Friday section…albeit that our sales have gone live past Black Friday officially but we’ve been so busy that we’ve had no choice! Luckily for you all, Paul at ARD has lost his mind and decided to put lots of lovely stock on sale on the website! Make sure to check it out and grab some bargains from tomorrow onwards! #AviationRetailDirect #Modelaircraft #CorgiDiecast #diecastmodelaircraft #GeminiJets #HerpaModels #JCwings #Boeing #Airbus #JFoxModels #InFlight200 #LondonHeathrow #avgeek #aviation #planespotting
