Absolutely gorgeous, classic livery, lovely job. Cheers Michael.

Hi everyone, just finished this one ,my first vac-form for many years, had forgotten about the painful fingers from the sanding, however it was enjoyable to do something a little bit different once in a while. 20231021_225929 by michael hobday, on Flickr20231021_225903 by michael hobday, on Flickr20231021_225824 by michael hobday, on Flickr20231021_225748 by michael hobday, on Flickr20231021_225735 by michael hobday, on Flickr20231021_225708 by michael hobday, on Flickr20231021_225637 by michael hobday, on Flickr

Hi everyone ,just finished this one, lots of fiddling and fettling required as the kit is a collection of loosely related parts but very satisfying when it all comes together, the props are from welsh models with a few odds and ends from scratch. 20230629_105538 by michael hobday, on Flickr20230629_105450 by michael hobday, on Flickr20230629_105422 by michael hobday, on Flickr20230629_105347 by michael hobday, on Flickr20230629_105306 by michael hobday, on Flickr20230629_105230 by michael hobday, on Flickr20230629_105612 by michael hobday, on Flickr And finally squeezed into the cabinet 20230629_215556 by michael hobday, on Flickr

Hello, Skyways was taken over by Dan air and operated a coach-air service from London to Paris with the 748 flying between Lydd and Beauvais, This was in the mid 70's, not sure how long it continued. Cheers Michael.

Hi everyone just finished this one, first time I have used mark 1 kits, found a few challenges with fit of some parts but overall it seems to be a good representation of the 748. The decals proved to be very flimsy and the blue cheatline disintergrated in a few places particuarly around the nose, luckily I was able to make some patches from the spare decal folder which look ok from a distance but you can see them close up, just one of those compromises you have to live with sometimes Cheers Michael. 20230301_113602 by michael hobday, on Flickr20230301_113527 by michael hobday, on Flickr20230301_113444 by michael hobday, on Flickr20230301_113431 by michael hobday, on Flickr Resting in the cabinet with another member of the fleet 20230301_114912 by michael hobday, on Flickr
