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

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 .
