Hi Peter, great to hear the models have arrived in good condition. I am sure they will provide lots of wonderful memories,best wishes to you all. Cheers Michael.

Wow, thats amazing, excellent build of an unusual subject, well done. Cheers Michael.

Really nice job you have done there and what a bonus with the Court line Tristar,feels like I am standing at the fence at Luton again, Great stuff. Cheers Michael.

Welcome to the forum, what a lovely collection,looking forward to seeing more like this, always nice to see more airliners on here. Cheers Michael.

That looks great,never knew one existed in this livery, nice job. Cheers Michael.

Hi Ian the nmf is alclad polished aluminium,this is the first time i have used authentic cockpit windows and was very pleased with them, will certainly order some more for future builds. Cheers Michael.

Hi everyone, this was a very enjoyable build of a type that is now disappearing fast, it was pretty much oob with the addition of a flying colors detail sheet and cockpit windows from authentic airliners, I was fortunate to log a number of flights in these during the 90's when AA were actually reducing the number of seats in economy and creating better legroom,I remember them being very comfortable to fly on,cant imagine that scenario ever happening again nowadays , great memories.

Lovely job,Absolute classic, well done. Cheers Michael.

Rons BM name was Ronnie,one of Rons sons already lives in oz and does do some modelling so hopefully he will be able to sort out any problems. Cheers Michael.

Hi everyone,thought you all might like to see the collection of our late member Ronnie who sadly passed away in september 2013,during the latter years of his illness Ron was unable to continue modelling or participate in the forums ,consequently many of his models which were built over a long period of time have never been posted before.This seems to be a good time to show them as Rons widow is shortly moving to Australia to join her family and the whole collection is being shipped with her,fingers crossed they survive ok.Sorry if picture quality is not that good as there are reflections in the cabinets plus my photographic skills are not that great.Thank you Ron for 50 years of wonderful memories. Michael.

What a lovely post,how nice to see a youngster doing something creative instead of sitting in front of a screen, I am sure he will get all the encouragement to become a competent modeller and most importantly to enjoy it, keep up the good work. Cheers Michael.
