MikeW Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Can't believe I completed so many, and another six close to the finish line. Traveling to obscure corners of the globe has been a constant interest in my life, so, surprise! another year of 1/144 airliners. Thanks for taking a look.

Darby Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Nice collection there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 That's a prolific output! They're also brilliant. Particularly like the BEA Airbuses. (Note to Mark if he reads this: that is the only circumstance in real life that you will ever hear me say I like Airbuses!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Dapple Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Crikey Mike, you have been rather busy haven't you? A very nice selection, how big is your entire collection of models? Cheers, Stew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Wonderful output. Lovely to see some classic schemes in there - still think the BEA red square is one of the finest ever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomore Shelfspace Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 A great fleet! They need captioning for us non-airliner fans though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Those are stunning. I'm not really an airliners type but I do enjoy seeing these & those old liveries. Really nice. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stever219 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I saw the BEA 'buses at the Brampton show this year and wish still that I'd built them. The Northwest example's rather appealing too, as is the Alitalia DC-9. What are you going to do when you get your hands on a nice new Roden VC-10? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Impressive output Mike! Don't recall seeing the Electra previously. Which kit and decals? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchem Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Cracking collection Mike. Congratulations on the prodigious output of quality subjects - you've put me to shame. Looking forward to seeing the six in the hangar ! Best Regards mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme H Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Well you have been a busy boy, stunning output, and some real crackers in there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Crikey Mike, you have been rather busy haven't you? A very nice selection, how big is your entire collection of models? About the 200 range at present Stew. I am at the "where the heck can I put the new ones when finished" stage. What are you going to do when you get your hands on a nice new Roden VC-10? Well, obviously will have to start with two of them for the BOAC and East African liveries. Then, if it turns out it looks like I could cut down the fuselage to a standard VC-10, well, the mind boggles. Don't recall seeing the Electra previously. Which kit and decals? It is the Minicraft kit with Classic-Airlines decals. I also did a TAA version. One can never have too many Aussies. Congratulations on the prodigious output of quality subjects - you've put me to shame. You are too kind Mike - I'd give my right arm, well, maybe the left, to produce airliners at your quality level. Thanks for all the comments folks. It is fun to list the output for the year all in one spot, and when one sees how many there were, the thought occurs "I need to get a life!"

Skids Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Have to say I was never a fan of civil stuff but your collection is amazing. Makes me wanna try one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 What a fantastic collection Mike and all superbly built and finished,.......I`m not an airliner fan as such but I always look forward to your models when they appear in RFI as you choose some excellent subjects and schemes, Rock on 2016, Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stosh65 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Like so many others above, not a big airliner fan but when you see them like that its very motivational. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 And my final four for the year. Airfix Boeing 737-200 F-Rsin Vickers Viscount Roden Boeing 720 Minicraft Boeing 737-300. Southwest's "California One". Not a huge fan of the airline, but I liked this livery. I had some issues with the windows on this one and Jon from 8adecs stepped up and really helped me out. A true pleasure to work with Now where is that champagne? Oh wait, I'm still in the office, but counting . . . . . Happy New Year one and all.

Fatcawthorne Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks one and all for the comments - I know airliners are not most everyones' thing, so appreciate the attention. Well come the Airliners GB later in the year they'd better be! Too many good 'uns to have a clear favourite. Superb models Mike, keep on churning them out as we love them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
