Yeah I’ll think I’ll have a few of those . BA. Britannia , Air Europe, Monarch , Air 2000 . Mind you they’ll end up in my unmade kit stash .

I saw a Facebook posting showing pics of the new 757 , so it’s definitely progressing

Another beauty . I never saw an Aer Lingus 720 in real life but their 737s were very familiar . I like that livery . Plain statesmanlike unlike the paint pot explosion liveries that happened in the mid 70s

Great looking models . It’s my era BEA No1 in Europe ! Loved seeing Tridents down at Glasgow . I have about 4 of the old Airfix kits that are just waiting for me to get round to them . Your photos are both inspiring and daunting at the same time !

Hmm can’t see any mention of it yet in Zvesda listing .

Yes another looks very nice post from me , but it seriously does look good . I have the kit , might just have a wee go , although I’ve got two half finished 737 s at the moment !

Wasn’t aware there was an Eastern Express model coming . I’ll definitely get the Airfix one though for the nostalgia factor .

Looks like Airfix are re introducing their Trident 1 as part of their Airfix Classics range . The other airliner this year seems to be the HP42 .. looks like it’s the old red square BEA livery version . Was the first airliner kit I ever got as a boy probably aged 6 !

Have I just seen that Zvesda are introducing a 757-200 into their airliner range? It was in YouTube review of their 2021 range , and although not mentioned I thought I saw a 757 in Icelandair livery . Can anyone confirm?

Yes another stunning model Dave . Sorry to hear about your eye op but glad everything ok now .

Gteat ,Orel . As others have said initially I wasn’t too keen on the new Lufthansa livery , but it is quite classy and I now quite like it

Interesting . Yet another kit I wouldn’t have known about unless I logged on here . Is this capable of being made into a BA 748 ? From memories they were Mk2bs . I’m thinking of the ones that used to take me to Benbecula and Orkney in the late 80s from Glasgow . From memory G -BCOE/F and G-BCJV . Looks like an interesting kit , maybe one to add to my stash oops too late the “buy it now” button was just to compelling . Just bought an Autair one !

Yes it’s still there . Last time I did serious spotting it was probably mid 80s . Good photo opportunities for aircraft landing especially if you walk up the Greenock Road a bit . Highlights in mid 80s were Hispania Caravelles , Air Atlantis 707s and Cyprus Airways A310 , then a fairly new model ! Always meant to go and take a pic of the A380 landing , but never made it !

Just on another of my occasional dips into the site . Wow what a plane . Like you Dave instantly transported back 45 years . The excitement of seeing a DC8 tail fin at Glasgow . The dash to the Spectators Terrace to see what plane it was and marvel at the length of it . Really quite something back in the early 70s . I can see her now sitting at the end of what was then the International Pier. Another one of your stunning aircraft creations . I’ve actually got the kit . As an aside I’d vote KLM too Hope you and your good wife keeping well in these weird times . Who coul

That’s an absolute stunner David . Beautiful . Just on to get my airliner fix in lieu of Perth!
