Don’t think I’d seen the TU 204 before , Dave , but a truly outstanding range of airliners . Pleasure meeting up with you at Bellahouston and Perth . Happy New Year

Having seen the Caravelle in person I can say David’s model is a stunner, along with the rest of his collection on display today at Bellahouston. I always look forward to speaking to David at Bellahouston and Perth and reviewing his collection . Always a source of inspiration , fantastic models there. And of course David is also full of advice and extremely helpful. A pleasure to meet you Sir, and Mrs Skodadriver.

Will look forward to all these with interest. The 1-11 is gorgeous .

The irony in that is that I use the car park at the station as I could never get in at the Dewars Centre when visiting for the Model Railway show and latterly the Perth Nationals . Plenty parking available at the station Sat and Sun . Shame about thevDewars Centre . Perth is always a pleasant day out for those of us that live in Central Belt

Saw it in the flesh at Perth, terrific , along with the rest of Dave’s collection. Really outstanding . Bristol Freighter to A350 . Superb. Thanks for the tips on navigating website looking for airliners. As you can see i’m Using it to good effect.

Great show. I think this is my third visit. Always a pleasure to talk to Dave, Skodadriver.

Yes the Herald models have now arrived , one in BUA and the other in BIA liveries . Look good

Takes me back . No1 in Europe

Thanks for all the answers guy . Sounds like buyer beware . I might buy a Herald if I can get one at a decent price, but I’m not buying one at $50+ .quite fancied one in BIA Orange, continuing my airliners seen at Glasgow theme . I’ve got the Minicraft 757 thanks Dave . I’ll stick with that . The Eastern Express one was $19.95 Edit : just realised 26 decals do a kit of Herald . Too tempting BIA and BUA on order

Just browsing eBay and came across Eastern Express kits , which prompted a bit further research . I see they do kits for a Handley Page Herald and Boeing 757-200 . Are these worth a look? The Herald kit seems fairly expensive .

Great. I’ve got a Revell 747-400 just waiting seen the pics on Facebook today, she looks gorgeous

I also though Court Line liveries were good . They were completely different and made the airline stand out . You knew you were on Court Line . In the same way a green upper fuselage meant Aer Lingus . Now it’s just bland, nothing to distinguish it .

Isn’t the Scotland Team using Loganair ?

It’s British Airways 100th anniversary this year, next year? Anyway it’s just been confirmed that a 747-400 is going to receive the full BOAC speedbird livery . Of course, never worn on a 747-400 , but all the 100s have long since gone . Should be fairly spectacular. I have a BA Revell 747-400 in stock , just wondering if it should go retro, although it may be their 125th anniversary before I get round to it. i believe upto 4 planes will receive retro livery . I’m kind of thinking one will be an A320 maybe in BEA speedjack livery . That would be very nice . Other suggestions have been Cambrian Orange and Northeast Yellow . Looking forward to it

Stunning . That’s a beautiful model.
