Here is the good old Revell Boeing 767 finished as ANA Cargo's JA8356 circa 2010. JA8356 was delivered new to ANA in 1991 and flew in passenger configuration until 2009 when she underwent freighter conversion by Boeing making her a 767-381/ER(BCF) i.e. Boeing Converted Freighter. She stayed with ANA Cargo until 2019 and then joined UPS as N394UP. A Japanese freighter is a bit off the beaten track for me since I normally model European airliners but I hadn't done a Group Build for a while and took the notion to join the Asia GB hence the Japanese prototype. The build thread is here for anyone who wants to read it. I had a false start with the Zvezda kit (explained in detail in the build thread) and switched to Revell half way through. Thanks for looking and constructive criticism is always welcome Dave G -
Continuing with my project of building a representative airliner from every current and former European national carrier, here is the Daco Skyline Boeing 737-300 in the livery of Air Baltic, the flag carrier of Latvia. The model shows YL-BBL (formerly G-EZYJ of EasyJet) around 2016 with winglets and small fuselage titles but still retaining the cockpit “eyebrow” windows. The Daco kit is well known and needs little comment. Construction was straightforward apart from the usual issue of wing fit. (For anyone interested my method of dealing with that is described here). I have never been convinced of the accuracy of the Daco winglets and for this model I used spares from a Zvezda 738. They are still a little too tall but not as badly oversized as the kit parts and I think they are an improvement. Paint is Halfords Appliance Gloss White and Racking Grey. The green is a by-the-eye mix of Tamiya X8 and X15 plus a few drops of X1. Metallics are by AK Interactive, Revell and Tamiya. Decals are by Drawdecal with Authentic Airliners windows and details from the kit sheet. Thanks for looking and constructive criticism is always welcome. Dave G

Here is my completed Zvezda 737-8 Max in WestJet livery. I chose this scheme as I had flown with them when I was positioning on an internal flight when I was Cabin Crew from Toronto to Halifax. The kit is OOB with the decals from DrawDecal. The kit itself is a great build, and fits together really well. I really like the extra details on the LEAP engines with the 2 part fan blades. I wish I had brought some window and cockpit decals from AA, but I had already applied these before I had found out about them as I am still quite new to the hobby again. The paints used were Halfords Appliance White for the fuselage, and engine nacelles. Wings and horizontal stabilisers are Revell Light Grey 371 with Revell Silver 90 leading edges. The decals went on really well, and the only thing to adjust was the slight trimming to fit on the tail and winglets. I like the new WestJet Scheme they have brought out for the 787 and would like to make a model of this in the future. As always thank you for looking and any feedback is always greatly appreciated.

This is my latest completion: Boeing's big twin in the form of a 1/144th KLM Boeing 777-306ER. This model was based on Minicraft's 777-200 kit, with numerous modifications. I inserted Braz's fuselage extension plugs forward and aft of the wings, did a bit of re-profiling of the nose area, added Contrails' extended and raked wingtips, completely re-worked Contrails' GE90-115B engines and pylons, and finished it off by using a DrawDecal set for the current KLM scheme. All paints were from Halfords' automotive range. This was a fairly straight-forward conversion, but I did create a fair bit of extra work by modifying the engines. However, I think it was well worth it and they are now a better representation of the real thing. Boeing 777-306/ER, KLM, PH-BVA, 'De Hoge Veluwe National Park' Happy modelling! Tom

This is the most difficult I ever built so far. Assembling vacform for me is very hard. Lots of sanding and modifications I applied.Be the judge of the result. I decided to discotinue at the moment building this model.
