I was just to the left of the flight path out of Glasgow . So in the 70s it was Dan Air Comets , BEA Tridents , BCal 1-11s , Britannia 737s as well as the omni present Viscounts. Lunch time from school was TF-FIE and I think TF-FIA Icelandair 727-100s . And they say airports are noisy now - not compared to then !

Interesting . Hadn’t heard of CRM before . Just seen they do an A220 too .

Very nice indeed. Love BUA 1-11s from the days used to see them at Glasgow

Looking forward to your build David for when I eventually get round to it . Curiously, I seem to be ever busier now I’m retired ! Got this kit and several of the older Airfix version . Will be interesting to see which one you think is best overall .

Ahh . I’ve never made it into the Rumourmonger section before . Thanks Dave ! I found out from the MOS6510 YouTube site . I think he showed a sprue of the. Model , so maybe you can see the nose there . I hope the kit is correct because there are certainly lots of liveries for this model . I had forgotten the iconic Court Line !

I see that Mark 1 models are releasing a BAC 1-11 Sri 500 . Looks like initial livery will be BMA . I do remember BMA 1-11s at Glasgow . I think they were used for inclusive tour services , but were sold on very quickly . Certainly in the market for at least one of these models , probably more when you consider BUA , BCal , BEA and British Airways liveries . A very widespread British Airliner .

The BOAC livery was so stately yet sleek . These are great models . Love the Super VC10 in particular

Superb models . That’s my childhood you’ve built .The Airfix kits which I assembled as a wee boy , glue everywhere, and also the planes I saw in the early days of Glasgow Airport . Really superb . back then I always wished Airfix had brought out the Viscount so my BEA fleet could be complete !

Nice to catch up with you again Dave and Mrs G . Filled with enthusiasm again

Hmm this model seems to be around . I’ve yet to find a UK stockist , however . Anyone had any success finding one ?

Ah thanks Dave . I’ll keep an eye on it and if it’s affordable will pick one up for the retirement stash ! Tridents always a favourite from my spotting days down at Glasgow!

I see on Facebook that X -Scale have shown artwork for their forthcoming Trident 1 . I believe this is a new kit . Anyone know anything about it? The artwork shows a Trident 1 in BEA Speedjack livery . I’ve just taken delivery of an X-Scale DC8 -32 in Swissair Livery . Looks ok as a kit .

This should be a sticky . Excellent advice

H Dave . Hoping you are well . Missing my trips to model shows . No I think it was a circular from Jadlam on Revell 2022 range . There is a 757-200 listed and a 787-9 in Lufthansa livery . Ah right so Sergey Druz does the earlier engines . I had a look at his website but couldn’t see them . just looking at the picture posted by Wonderland . Does this 757 have the door arrangement similar to the BA ones rather than the ones produced by Zvesda . Seems unusual if it is in fact a different kit . All the best (love the Air Uk BAe146 by the way) Russell

Cheers Revaro. Actually I prefer normal airline liveries . Too much of a coincidence Revell introducing this , so it must be rebadged Zvesda . I’ve got two of these in the stash . Just need to get replacement engines for an early BA one
