Can anyone suggest a source for fairly accurate die-cast models of modern airliners? I am looking for items at around 1/144 scale (or thereabouts) that are readily available in the UK.
Criteria: good representation of landing gear, accurate liveries, and no tell-tale seam lines along fuselage.

Also, where can I access free downloadable runway/taxiway sheets? ... any scale, as I can easily reduce or enlarge these to suit.

Thanks,

Paul

1/144 is not a popular scale for die-cast airliners since all but the very small ones rapidly get too large to be economical. 1/200 is much better served, and 1/400 or 1/500 are very popular in Europe.

Try AHS to get a representative sample of models available.
