Yeah, for me it’s quite easy, I just cut up a football card that I have 2 or more of from the nation I need
Ignore the liverys on the aircraft… relatively happy with how today went, might remove the random bits on the roof though

（By the way, this Air China 787 is the first 787 I have ever flown. I didn’t expect to be able to buy a model with the same number.）

Well, i will be going to next year’s Gatwick Fair as i definitely won’t be out the country. Might consider getting the VIP ticket that gets me access to the Fair 30 minutes prior to the official opening.

Do you think it’s worth discussing the latest NG release hints? What a load of rubbish, again…
Not seen them, let me guess, Chinese narrowbodys?
No point really, only thing that has a small chance of being good is the one American 747 but everything else is rubbish as usual…

Well going to come up with a layout for a European airport, as my AVL project I’m doing is on cardboard. So I just need to paint that then do ground markings, for this one I’ll get card like I had for the IOW airport.
Thought I’d pop in a photo of my favourite model out of my collection
Something about how small and delicate it is with the minute detail. Plus Fokker 50s are just cool.

I went to RIAT on Sunday and Aviation Retail Direct had a shop there, i bought four models!
First up this ARD exclusive, easyJet A321neo G-UZMC for £49.95
Which now brings my easyJet collection to four!
Secondly is this NG models Taiwan Government B737-800 for only £20!
Next is this Aeroclassics Syrian airlines Ilyushin Il-76 also for the great price of £20!
And finally, the biggest of them all, this 1:200 Turkmenistan B777-200LR for an amazing £75!
Fun fact: I decided to get this one because every week i usually see a Turkmenistan B777 going into gatwick!
If anyone wants anymore photos just ask!

How much did they bring? Went on the Saturday but was on the otherside of the airfield so didn’t end up going.

Their stall was probably the biggest one there, they had tons of Military and Civilian aircraft in different scales.
