Skodadriver's 2018 Airliners


Skodadriver

Recommended Posts

I present in no particular order the dozen 1/144 airliners which I finished this year. I haven’t really been as productive as the number suggests - several of the models are delayed 2017 builds which for various reasons weren’t finished until early this year and some are older models which have been refurbished and repainted usually, although not always, quicker than building something new. The better and/or more interesting builds have been in RFI but several are appearing here for the first time.

 

Thanks for looking and I hope you like my civilian collection. Happy Christmas and see you in 2019.

Well I must have missed a couple of those during the year Dave so I must apologize for the lack of comments.

A superb display Sir.  Difficult to select a favorite, but the 707 and VC10 stand out as particularly appealing.

Thanks Chris. They haven't all been in RFI.  I'm sure people have seen enough bread and butter B737s, MD80s and A319s without me adding to them! I only posted Donbassaero because of the colour scheme and an amusing anecdote about the real airline. The Dreamliner has an error which I only realised after I'd finished it. I'm not going to say what it is but sooner or later somebody would have pointed it out so I decided to spare my own :blush:

The Britannia 737 would have attracted a lot of interest I'm sure, unless I missed that one in RFI.

As it happens, that was my first passenger ride on an overseas holiday many years ago so I for one am really happy to see it portrayed so well here.

 

All the best.

 

Chris.

I'm not into airliners at all. But my instinct says, to get them right, you really have to nail the finish (no gun smoke, exhaust stains and 'battle damage' to hide the c*ck ups!). And yours are impeccable. For me, it's the VC-10 all the way. Fabulous aircraft (maybe it's just my age?). Thanks for sharing.
