David H Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Great looking DC-4. Why Minicraft has done the DC-series so well, and yet borked the Boeing airliners is a mystery for the ages. I too have an interest in Irish aviation and would like to do a Roden Britannia with 26 decals for Aer Turas. -d- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your next DC-4? Maybe you could build a TMA machine with a bike and 14 year old plane spotter standing next to it watching the wings being hosed down!! Looking forward to more John!

mcdonnell Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Hello,John - It's a pleasure to view your airliner models.Built and finished with your hallmark expertise, these are simply exquisite. 😉👍 All the very best,Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Lovely build. By coincidence, I've just started building the same kit in the same marking. I'm a bit young to remember EI-AOR but I certainly remember EI-ARS, which Aer Turas operated until 1976. I have a set of Aer Lingus marking for the Carvair which are from S&M Decals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to more John! Cheers, Ian Now you've given me an idea Ian! Just pinch one of the etched brass bikes out of my sons N guage railway, a bit of wall & fence, and a train spotter. We get an approximation of young bzn20 at the airfield. Not TMA I'm afraid, Aer Turas will have to do; Oh I'm easily amused! Cheers John 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbag Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Looks great John, and that "spotter" is making a good impression of a teapot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
