Just a quick shot into one of my glass cabinet: The chromed Tekno B-17, the only one I have....

That is a new one, never saw a chromed Tekno B-17 before.... or for that matter any airplane in chrome by Tekno.
The tail of the Caravelle on the right of the photo is a rather rare CIJ {French} Air Maroc variant.

The chromed Tekno B-17 is in fact also listed by Sue Richardson. Take a look at her book. I got it 10 years ago on a German toy fair for a relatively high price of 40,- DM (20,- Euro).

The CIJ Air Maroc is a recent find on Germany Ebay. It is near mint, but no box. Postage was higher than item's price.

No image showing this end ? would like to see this,can you please check the link page is still active ?

what fliegerii should do is upload the image to photobucket,com or any other free image posting service, copy the [IMG] code, go back to his original post, click edit, remove the current attachment and paste in the [IMG] code.
anytime anyone uses this site's 'Upload attachment' feature in his post that scrolling thing is used. Not an good way to see pictures to begin with. I may ask a web expert to eliminate the feature

I am not yet member of photobucket, but will soon join. I tried several times to upload a new picture with good resolution in a small size, so that the scroll bars don't appear, but it did not match. When it was small enough, it also had low resolution.
Now you get this big one.....
