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.

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..... :D
