bzn20 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Very , very good . Can't beat the BOAC Gold Speedbird schemes ,this from April1965 when the very 1st Super VC10 PAX service started ( to JFK) ,the first Gold Speedbird ( "The Meat Cleaver" ) only lasted a year April 64-April 65 as the official colours . My dad was a BOAC Flt Eng instructor on both from 1959 on the 707 until 1962 ,transferred to VC10 training , back on 707s 66 ish until his Boeing 747 course at Seattle course in late 1969 . I've Been on both of those ,flown on PFJ and either been on, flown on or even worked on all their VC10s. What is the VC10 registration G-ASG? That 707 is a big improvement on the Airfix kit ,love the engine cowling decals. Well done and thanks for showing ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Lots of nostalgia there! Beautifully finished, the 707 in particular captures the look perfectly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Elegant ladies indeed - although I'm a bit disappointed that we were not seeing some 1960s pictures of BOAC stewardesses. I'm currently working on the Airfix 707-436 and plan to finish it in the earlier BOAC scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin M Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Lovely models. I am just finishing the Roden VC10 in East African livery. I flew on the BOAC VC10 as a kid up and down the length of Africa. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Beautiful models indeed, though I have to confess I have a soft spot for the VC-10. It far surpasses the 707 in terms of elegance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbofan Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hi Einar, Just gorgeous! Like many on here I love the BOAC livery too. I've built a Roden Super VC10 as well, but it's your AA 707 which has really caught my eye! I love that wing and you've definitely captured the busyness of all the different panels and shades. Reminds me I don't have nearly enough AA 707s! Or BOAC planes! Are you planning any more? Cheers, Ian 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenger350Pilot Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Two beautifully done classics! Really nice builds, indeed! Love the old BOAC livery, too...this one is very stately. Very nice job with the AA 707; refreshing to see one of those! Quite nice! I see your bio shows you as a "newbie?" Welcome to BM! You'll find this is a fine place to learn, practice, participate in really good and constructive conversation, take part in complimentary forums, and peruse enjoyable posts. Looking very forward to seeing more of YOUR work here. Cheers! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
