Model aircraft (Sharepoint)

Yeah, NG is missing great chances for income by not releasing european aircraft, and their quality is definitely slipping… :unamused:

I’m actually considering of going to the Gatwick far looks so interesting but then I have the question of how do I carry them all home?
For me I only been on one avation far in Manchester on 30/6/2018 which was not only sunny but also a car show and I believe some attraction, I’m pretty sure there was another lad on the forum who also went there not sure who.

You could bring a suitcase and just have extra room in there to take them home

It’s a bit hard cause I usually fly Ryanair between Ireland and the UK in fact when I fill my 10KG bag at MAN they pulled me aside to search my bag that was filled to the brim with models, and besides Ryanair is very strict on carry on bags if you exceed just a cm they will force people to pay what they should have checked in and then a fine.

Ahem…

And here’s a photo to prove it, as I took this from the top of one of the double decker buses they had on display.

Was it good quality? I can’t image getting something nice for that price.

Sometimes you can get broken models for that (then you glue back together) or it could just be a 90s model by dragon wings or someone

It was all intact, no damage at all, just an old gemini realese

Im not sure if there is such a thing as ‘cheap flights anymore’ i mean dub to lgw on Ryanair is €44 starting price on the 7th of march. The 6th of march is €29 tho. The lgw fair is on the 8th. So it might ge worth doing this:



But then again thats like €75 aswell. Same as Aer lingus. God i wish cheap flights still existed :cry:
Btw ik its on the same day this is if yoy didn’t want to pay for accommodation

Here is what i got!

Most MAN-DUB flights are only £21, and frequently get as low as £14.99.

I’ve got some of the minibuses, but the white ones. Will definitely be getting more in future. It’s great to finally have someone making stuff to populate other parts of an airport like the roads leading up to the terminal.

Yea Dub to Man is closer so cheaper i guess

I think herpa used to do normal cars but they are discontinued now. There are some you can get but they are pretty expensive.

Book at the right times and DUB-LHR with Aer Lingus is cheap enough, I got a flight in AerSpace (essentially Aer Lingus’ short haul business class) on the A321neo, with lie flat seats for only £90pp.

Yea aer lingus round trip to LHR was around 80€ and that’s including baggage and everything.
Its just for @Ecoaviation all accommodation around lgw is expensive and taxis trains buses ect so it would be easier to fly into lgw.

1 trick I’ve been using for a few years now is going through the Aircraft Model Store link on the BA Executive Club shopping portal, when a model gets you 250 Avios, it soon adds up to a fairly cheap Club Europe flight.
