So you want to fly somewhere in the world, fast, and you've got to pick an airline. "Let's fly Air Terrainean!" suggests your friend. Will you do it? "We can go on the luxurious supersonic Fire Flash!" your friend further encourages you. Sure, you think, we can sit in the wings and hope that the crew in the tail of the plane can actually see to land it.

Or you can realize that every time the dang plane takes off, something goes wrong with it, and choose Singapore Airlines instead. They almost never have to use "elevator cars" for landings.

Seriously, Aoshima's 1/350 injection plastic kit of the Fire Flash is superbly detailed, molded in color (though you'll need to paint it to get it accurate), comes with water-slide decals for a perfect finish -- and even comes with four landing-assist elevator cars! A cardstock insert mimics airport tarmac for displaying the finished model.
