I sent them an email; a while back I was told that they do not have any UPS airplane models but I'll try again.

What's "PI"? Philippines?

Please post a link or PM me with his email address if you think he has UPS models too...

If you want custom mahogany models, try esnacko.com

I've gotten an 18" and a 10" model of the A300, and both look great! A link to a 76 they made is here on the 2nd page: Custom Aircraft Models

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. That's funny, I know the person who ordered the 76... ;)

How do I get this catalog? I've always been using their website...

I have no clue. I get it just like the rest of the mailings from UPS.

Call them and they will send you the catelog. That's how I got mine a long time ago. I receive one each year now.

Very High Quality Resin Cast models from almost all commercial carriers in mostly 1/100 scale.

I sent you a PM

These models are the best I've seen. They also give UPS employees a nice discount. This is because UPS is very particular and protective about their logo, and they are approved by UPS to use the UPS logo, for sales to UPS or UPS employees only. You need a UPS ID badge if you go in yourself; or if ordering over the phone they will need your ID number, and they will verify employment. If not, they won't build it. That's what they told me anyway when I went in to order a 767. Same for the 1/400 metal models built by Gemini Jets. The only place to get those new is from UPS if you are a UPS employee.

So while there are other shops out there where you can get UPS airplanes, those might be "bootlegs" if not approved by UPS. Probably not a big deal though as it probably isn't too hard to reproduce the logo and livery.

My Atlantic Models 767 is 1/100 scale, and I got it for about $210 (usually about $250), and is perfect as far as I can tell.

Also, I've been told mahogany models can deform over long periods of time if exposed to high humidity. Not so with resin.

Hmmm, besides my Jepps and some insurance papers and the UPS Dispatch magazine I don't get any "other mailings" - I feel left out... ;)

Good idea, the 'web catalog" seems to be slighty outdated...

Thanks for all the suggestions folks - I'll keep looking.

...or maybe this is it? ;)

There's a UPS Mx guy at Clark that sells models...forget his name but should be easy to track him down there...
