Supertom Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Oh gawd....I hope the Etiam CAEW variants follow....I desperately want a non-vacform Singapore G550! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Outstanding, been waiting for one of these. I am sure it will be a lot cheaper than the Broplan kit and a lot easier to build. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Good news as I love a Gulfstream bizjet! Now I wonder if they do a Gulfstream 1, II, III, IV & V ? I thought there was issues with the licensing Grumman Bizjets.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky coffeeboat Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 ^ maybe we shouldn't say that too loudly...Amodel make no reference at all to Tupolev in their 1/144 Camel model. I'm so looking forward to their biz-jet models. At long last someone has decided to kit these beautiful aircraft. I'd love if they expanded the G***str**m range to include the whole range past and present. Jeff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Oh gawd....I hope the Etiam CAEW variants follow....I desperately want a non-vacform Singapore G550! Saw two of the Israeli ones stage through EDI a few years ago, very differrent look to them, love the new nose shape. Paul Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinky coffeeboat Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Great stuff, hopefully they'll followw up with the even nicer looking G650. Thanks Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_C Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Very nice aircraft. A pure beauty to my taste. The only problem is that G550/650 are a bit too big for 1/72. They are a size of b737-200 or DC-9-15. So maybe A-model would consider downscaling to 1/144 one day... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ho590hm Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Amodel quote Humbrol 48 as a match for the blue - can someone tell me the FS number? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks There is no FS colour as far as I am aware. The official designation for the colour is 'BAC7071 Presidential Flight Light Blue' It is available in the Xtracolour range as X165. That being said, I built a C-32 many years ago and used a Tamiya blue for it, XF-14 lightened slightly as I recall. The Humbrol 48 looks too dark to me BTW. Here is a picture of my C-32 with my other Military airliners 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 This machine is new VIP transport in Poland, likely decal will be produced for it by some Polish brand. I think she looks attractive: Cheers J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ho590hm Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Thanks for the colour detail - although it looks closer to the Presidential dark blue....X164 Just noticed that the decal sheet does not match the box art. It shows 10065 for the USAF scheme, which is a C-37A, whereas the box is correct with 60500 as a C-37B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
