Although they flew in full livery, Sabena’s BAe-146s and Avro RJs were actually operated by Delta Air Transport (DAT) which would later form the nucleus of Brussels Airlines following the collapse of Sabena in 2001. Here is the Revell BAe-146-200, one of my favourite airliner kits, finished as OO-DJJ circa 1996. OO-DJJ was delivered new to DAT in 1991 and apart from a brief lease to Malmo Aviation in 2003/4 served until 2007. She is now a water bomber fighting fires with Neptune Aviation Services in the USA. The Revell BAe-146 is a straightforward and enjoyable build apart from the rather fiddly undercarriage. The cabin window line is slightly too high and the windows are too small which isn't a big deal if you use decals. l placed the window decals about 1mm lower for better alignment with the large titles. Paint is overall Halfords white. Decals are by Daco with Authentic Airliners windows. In 1996 OO-DJJ and some other DAT BAe-146s were decorated with “Suske and Wiske” (aka Spike and Suzy and other names depending on country) to celebrate 100 years of Belgian cartoon strips. Apparently there were plans for Tintin to feature on the Avro RJs but copyright issues got in the way. Thanks for looking and constructive criticism is welcome.

Hi Googling a bit in net today for some Italian machines I met an extraordinary to me photo of Savoia Marchetti SM 73 in RAF colours, whith mid-fuselage demercation line and yellow undersurfaces: http://aviadejavu.ru/Images6/MM/MM-235/0791-01-2-2.jpg The description tells, that it is one of six Sabena machines incorporated to RAF in 1940: http://aviadejavu.ru/Site/Crafts/Craft26743.htm Are the serials of this machines known? Any other comments? Cheers Jerzy-Wojtek
