Best place to buy models
First of all, Planes not people, smart-.... 
I'd like to pickup a small model of the BA A380 and 787-9 to commemorate my first flights on them. Do they sell them at LHR? On-board? Can you request them if you're flying F or J?
I've Googled around and they're either wwwaaayyy too expensive and / or not available in my country.
Thanks in advance.

A number of shops in T5 sell model aircraft in BA colours. I know Concorde and 747 models exist, but I am less certain on the others.

There are a number on ebay too, but seem to be more expensive.

I use Diecast Model Aeroplanes For Sale Online | Aviation Retail Direct, UK (shop just by Heathrow + they offer delivery). If you're looking for a 1:200 model, you can save by buying their annual membership card too.

Try Alibaba Express
https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale...airways+models
I love Alibaba Express. You can earn avios on purchases, you order something which usually costs very little and a few months later it arrives when you'd almost forgotten about it.
