Skodadriver Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 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. Dave G Condor Boeing 707-430. Heavily modified Minicraft kit with decals from various sources. British Airways Boeing 767-336(ER).

MarkSH Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 All really neat, tidy and well executed builds, I particularly like the Donbassareo Airbus colour scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbag Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 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. Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbag Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 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.

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I luv em all! Nice output for the years, just because you didn't start them this year doesn't matter, it is what you finish that counts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie(kinda) Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Not into civil aviation, but your models look gorgous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortyEighter Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 A great selection of airliners Dave and nice variety in the display bases. Having just checked SP-LRA on "Planespotters", I can't see your error - it's probably so obvious in retrospect that it's easily overlooked!

stevehnz Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 A lovely line up Dave, your WIPs have helped kindle a growing interest in airliners for me along with a growing stock of airliner kits. I've really enjoyed these. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 What a beautiful collection. I was also surprised to see so many 'old faces' from my plane spotting days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
