Ok, so the project is finally over. 7 years its taken but the set is complete!

Cracking on now

Thanks for the nice comments guys! Makings some progress each day

Hi everyone, its been a long time! Back for another round, i still have my BWIA collection proudly displayed along with a 2nd shelf displaying the last livery of BWIA. I had built their A340s, L1011 & 737 as i found the decals! all i needed was the MD-83 & Dash 8 to complete the set, and i knew one day someone would do them. And behold...Eastern Express pulled through! here to finally finish my build i started back in 2012...please see my completed BWIA West Indies models and the 2 to come! glad to be back making some models again!! 1/144 BWIA A340 9Y-TJN 1/144 BWIA Hybrid livery A340 9Y-JIL 1/144 BWIA L1011 9Y-THA 1/144 BWIA 737 9Y-ANU And the last 2, the MD83 & Dash 8 It was an absolute joy being able to build the whole collection of the old livery back in 2012. Since then the new livery decals popped up so i started that collection, but its been slow. Some appeared in 2013/14 and 2017 and now the last 2 in 2019. A total bonus for me becuase back in 2012 those kind of decals were not around. Speak soon. Kev

Popped back in after seeing a image of the build on google images and realized i never updated on the L1011, i did finish it and still have the models on show along with my new Toyota Supra models ive been collecting. Kev

Heres my attempt at a 737-700 using the draw decals tutorial

Hey all does anyone have a spare antenna for a revel 1/144 747-400, would be willing to pay + postage. Really need one. thanks, Kev

So finally finished all the models, and the dream collection! also have 1 more to add pretty soon to the collection, never planned but will come out to be a lovely model so look out...enjoy for now. Kev 9Y-TJN 9Y-JIL Caribbean airlines fleet The whole collection The last one to come, 9Y-THA

The a340?! So popular someone will be doing them. Surely revells revenue for the a340 cant justify deleting them?!!

Ive seen a defunct tristar with what seems to be an exhaust coming out of the biggest hole

I ordered of draw decal past september. No fees. Just through my letter box. Seriously well packed to

9Y-LGW has finally arrived A nice shot of the past and present birds that did/do the Port of spain to London route

9Y-JIL has landed!

Thanks everyone, i needed this grey for my caribbean airlines project as its a spot on match for the underbelly of the aircaft

Hi all, im about to start work on my f-rsin plastic injected ATR-72, now its a great kit but lacks on the insructions and colour codes. Does anyone have pictures of the wheel wells and engine exhausts? thanks, Kev

Hey all, does anyone have the instruction sheet for the Revell Antonov 124, i need to know the colour mix for the grey on the underside, thanks Kevin

Not doing the L1011, md-80, 738 in the green im afraid. Not a fan of the viscount for 747 they had...i know nazca do the 738 but no after that tbh, i wouldnt mind doing the hawker siddely BWIA airbridge..but not really bothered to be honest as its in a old livery They also had a DC-8 cargo with the bwia logo but still not bothered about that either lol

Im also doing a 1/144 a340 and im looking at a stand, any help would be great, was thinking of modifying a zvezda 767 stand

So continuing from this project....http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234913445&hl=%2Bbwia+%2Bproject Im back with a second part, thanks to V1 decals, Twosix and Gio decals ive gotten my hands on the following airplanes to build my ultimate collection BWIA A340 9Y-TJN - flew this from Heathrow to Port of spain many times BWIA A340 HYBRID 9Y-JIL - flew this from Port of spain to Manchester once Caribbean airlines new arrival 767-300ER 9Y-LGW, got to see this parked up at Piarco Int Trinidad this september next to her sister craft 9Y-LHR, wasnt ready for the london routes so got to fly a wet lease Omni air 767-300 :/ Caribbean airlines ATR 72 9Y-TTC - flew this in september from Tobago to Trinidad...rough ride dude...lol, heres a picture of her sister planes that i got to take myself Caribbean airlines dash 8 9Y-WIN And was lucky enough to get a 1/144 737 desktop model at caribbean airlines duty free, so this will be be part of my CAL set Stay tuned, kev

That would have been in the green scheme, probably not for a long time mate, waiting on v1 decals to do caribbean airlines fleet, but not even buying anything for that yet apart from the decals

Overly happy with this, couldnt want more from some shaped plastic! waited a long time for this to happen and here it all is, was all great fun! any help needed on loweing slats and flats....im happy to help out enjoy, Kev! Flapped L1011 - N3140D, SUNJET ST.LUCIA, used to fly mainly to LHR before being retired at marana arizona. I flew this machine many times as a child to Trinidad and tobago. L1011 9Y-TGJ, SUNJET TRINIDAD, used mainly to fly to Trinidad but would have done a few flights in its time to the USA and Canada as N3140D did also. Flew this many many times as a child and have a picture of me at the gate and the sunjet trinidad logo in the back Not sure but one BWIA L1011 is now sat at a museum in Trinidad with one wing missing, and could be this one. Ill be paying her a visit on my next trip very soon MD-83 9Y-THQ AND DASH 8 9Y-WIN, md83 was a regular at miami while the dash 8 flew the islands of the caribbean, a regular at tobago which was then re branded under caribbean airlines and i believe she is still flying, the md-83 was sold to AA if i remember correctly and could still be up there also... 707-320 9Y-TEZ, used to fly the LHR route then being replaced by the L1011's, never saw this as it was before my time, but some family members have...ah well! 737-700 9Y-TJI, never saw this nor flew it, all i know is that BWIA had her from new for around a year then it went to southwest and still flys 727-100 9Y-TCP, Found a picture of this when i was small and was well into drawing the l1011s at that time and loved it, not much info on this and have only about 3 pics of it i found over the years in the carnival livery, BWIA traded some of these with BOAC for some 707's 9Y-BWA, as with the 737-700 bwia had 2 of these from new and flew for about a year to miami, its said they used to have to pay to many fees to land these due to the wight or something thanks all, Kevin

All finished and her she is! Kev

Thanks fellow modellers! but its not done yet! welsh pulled through and sent me my replacement decals and the flapped tristar is due for delivery along with my BA 747-8F, so over the weekend or mid next week i shall have lots of pics for you all Kev

Fuselage is ready, white + blue paint, decals and clear tomorrow! im working on the wings, engines and landing gear tonight Kev

Fuselage is done, just some minor sanding and a lick of primer then pics! using this time to do some much needed cleaning around the house as for the e4b command post, i have the kit, minus the hump of the e4b fuselage + the hump of the 747-8I, any who want the kit its yours, just paypal me £5 as a gift to cover postage, or its going in the bin and ill keep the engines....
