Model aircraft (Sharepoint)

Ah I know them shame they don’t stop at local towns along they way hence TFI is the only bus that gets me there (this was actually my connection last time but my god it took roughly an hour to get the bus hence I was staying at the airport for roughly an hour.)

Just received the newest addition to my collection. Thomas Cook 757-200 G-FCLA with the Vote for a free day sticker! Only 100 of them made for the Heathrow Aircraft Enthusiasts Fair in 2018, so really pleased to have won the auction for it on eBay. Decent price as well! Also came with some free Chocolate, so even better!

The Thomas Cook fleet is slowly growing once again!

Got a fair bit of progress done on the airport as well since my last post here, still some touching up required in places (such as the road markings on the bottom photo), but things are progressing! Also managed to get some 3D printed coaches off eBay and probably going to get more eventually ready to work on the landside section of the airport.

Done a bit more work on my airport today. Finished adding the road markings and weathered the remaining stands and taxiways. Next steps are working on the land side part of the airport, further improving road markings where applicable and adding the sand in one corner of the board. Here’s the first set of aircraft to be properly displayed, with the theme being Summer 2019.

Is that air Europa new? You haven’t shown it before I don’t think

Also I’m thinking of getting these.


Air India 787s are hard to get and you needed 130USD for free shipping so…

I’ve had it for a while, got released last year I think.

Not a fan of the Gemini/JC Wings A320 family. The ceo engines are bigger than a neo engine, plus it’ll take them about 60 years to actually release it.

All we need know is the Aer Lingus A320 with Both Rugby livery after almost 10 years.

Normal livery vueling when??? :eyes: :roll_eyes:

Idk. They had a 321 of the base one but that’s sold out except for a Vietnam website and shipping is 50 USD so…
I’d love to see a normal 319

NG making something which isn’t from the US or China? I highly doubt they’d release it, and if they did the window line would be messed up. Seems to be a thing with them lately.

I mean this is their new 767-300 mould, and it looks dire. Winglets have literally been copied over from a 757, windows are far to high, and what on earth are those cockpit windows. A lot of people, including myself, are starting to go off NG with the way things have been for the past few months with them. Still better than Gemini and their questionable A320 family and 737 family moulds though.

Who has been to a model show and managed to pick up a few? I’m pretty sure there not a lot around.

No not before but im going to try and go to the one at gatwick in march

I was looking at that model till I took a closer look at the picture :joy:

Fell free to use these as a comparison on how bad the model is to the real thing
