Klm B772

STEVEJ · 01-29-2008, 07:49 PM

As long as we are still winging our way around the Carribbean I thought I would take this shot of KLM785 at the gate at TNCM (SXM). The inbound crew is just leaving as the outbound FO starts his walkaround and the FAs arrive. In reality KLM785 is an MD-11, but since I found this model on my doorstep this afternoon, it gets the honors. This was a hard model to track down, just about everybody was "out of stock". I was just lucky.

Wow, I just love your dioramas Steve!
Your pictures are always inspiring!
Please post more pictures in 1/200 scale!

Thank you for this KLM diorama. This KLM bird is so beautiful.

Nice, we got a wind-walker too.

FAEDC3 · 01-29-2008, 08:32 PM

amazing diorama Steve.... the model is awesome, but the setting makes it look even better...

Great pics of an excellent diorama! Any chance of an AF A343 at SXM too?

The one used here is the background for N-scale trains, its a problem for 1/200 because it is so small I really have to set the camera just right to get everything in the shot. I would like to know where to get a bigger better one. I googled Faller and they make some nice backgounds but they didn't have any photos of the cloud backgound so I'll hold off a bit. They are expensive!
I really am satisfied with the the way the 1/200 dioramas turn out but there is such a limited selection of GSE, I hesitate to build any structures or ramps because they take time to build and they take up a lot of space. Not worth the effort if I can't "dress it up" like I can with 1/400.

I can and I was going to do that one, maybe tonite after work.

mjabbasi · 01-30-2008, 12:32 PM

Does this a/c have a name as on all KLM a/c?

any chance at tiling them? i suppose the joints shouldnt be too noticeable if its a background blurred piece.

i saw the offerings at internettrains.com (which by the way i hate because when i ordered they didny ship my items!)
INTERNET MODEL TRAINS™ - Backdrops

none of them seem to really fit

It does not have a name.

PH-BQJ does not exist. The other version of this model carries a registration of PH-BQA, which is named "Albert Plesman".

1:200Freak · 01-30-2008, 12:57 PM

This would be the Hogan KL 772 correct? Those figures..sometimes I think I love them more than the planes...The pilots descending the stairs..so realistic.. Steve, these pics are priceless!

Would love to see a pic based on Emirates and Dubai

Yes those Preiser figures are so realistic!! I want to get a few sets as well~ However they are not cheap....

mjabbasi · 01-30-2008, 02:23 PM

Its still a great model and I'm still happy as hell with my KLM 77W.

B773ER · 01-30-2008, 02:28 PM

I love all my KLMs and am anxious for the GJ200 737 to be released.

Hmmm maybe a RS/SM Boeing 777-300ER and a HG Boeing 777-200ER. RS/sm have a 772 but it has no gears.

C-Rex · 01-30-2008, 02:56 PM

PH-BQJ doesn't exist in real life (KLM active Registrations)K due to the pronouncation of the -BQJ is too close to letter G on-BQG.
(As I have been told by a LM F/O)

This model has been discontinued. You can still get it at Relocate , for some reason they have it in stock. It's weird how Hogan discontinues some models. They usually just stop making one when an airline changes livery- like when UA and NW changed liveries, they stopped making models of the old livery and started making models in the new.

The 777-200 mould is a beauty. I'm still waiting for my BA 772. I'll bet that would sell like crazy.
