BritJet Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 This started out as a battered travel agent display model in SABENA markings with a few broken parts and very scratched. Not a kit but a fibreglass model probably by Space Models. After repairs and a couple of coats of gloss white I drew the Jersey European markings in CorelDraw and printed them on my inkjet printer. ] Thanks for looking.

BritJet Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 Thanks, it was good doing a nice simple model after a few difficult ones. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Great rescue/refurbishment job! I have always loved seeing the big fibreglass replicas in travel agents and airline offices. They are impressive to look at (especially recalling Boeing 747's and similar aircraft with length and wingspan around a metre or two)! Someone wealthier than me has a great collection of these aircraft, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza l Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Really nice refurb. I do like to see a passenger plane wheels up and mounted on a stand. gazza I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightningboy2000 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Superb to see one of these window display models tidied up. Must be worth a bob or two. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with watching things like Stingray, Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet, seeing the perfectly finished and huge travel agent models was how I got into modelling as a kid. They are very collectible and fetch very high prices. 21 hours ago, gazza l said: Really nice refurb.
