This should be a sticky . Excellent advice

H Dave . Hoping you are well . Missing my trips to model shows . No I think it was a circular from Jadlam on Revell 2022 range . There is a 757-200 listed and a 787-9 in Lufthansa livery . Ah right so Sergey Druz does the earlier engines . I had a look at his website but couldn’t see them . just looking at the picture posted by Wonderland . Does this 757 have the door arrangement similar to the BA ones rather than the ones produced by Zvesda . Seems unusual if it is in fact a different kit . All the best (love the Air Uk BAe146 by the way) Russell

Cheers Revaro. Actually I prefer normal airline liveries . Too much of a coincidence Revell introducing this , so it must be rebadged Zvesda . I’ve got two of these in the stash . Just need to get replacement engines for an early BA one

I think I’ve just seen that Revell had introduced a 757-200 as part of its 2022 range . Is this Zvesda rebadged? Looks like it’s on “Iron Maiden” livery

This was one of the first kits I made as a kid , certainly the first airliner kit . So I’m going to build this one directly from the box , except for the offset undercarriage , just for old times sake . The volur scheme is incorrect though saying the bottom fuselage was white . It should be grey . Any suggestions as to what might be closest colour?

These seem to be in stock in UK now . Just received 2 kits from Jadlam . Look very nice indeed

Isn’t there a Revell A330 kit . Maybe out of production, but you could try EBay or Kingkit

Are you going to be offering sets of decals for the 757?

I completely forgot about the two body types . I think most, if not all British airlines went with the 4 door layout , do I suppose this means the windows need filled . Still looking forward to the kit . Hope Skodadriver takes one on. To show us how it should be done !

Looks like it’s on its way . Available in Russia at moment

Beautiful model . Most people go for the blue fuselage top KLM livery, but that’s how I remember KLM DC9s at Glasgow in late 60s early 70s . Brings back a lot of memories .

My era . The Golden Speedbird was a superbly classy airline livery , which looked really good on the 747-400 that’s just been retired . I have an Airfix 707 ,VC10 and Roden Super VC10 in the stash . Your models are inspirational

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
