My favorited Dragon

HNL-Chris · 07-03-2005, 10:42 PM

If this isn't the best Dragon ever produced it has to be close to it.

It's a nice bird Chris....I don't personally own one, but having seen the model in person, I would definitely rank it near the top. I've always felt that Dragon's US Airways A330 was also a great effort.

yep, my favorite. wish they'd do a white top, white//grey combo, thin cheat lines below the windows, chrome....on and on

Indeed! DW did some killer L-10s. The EAL bare metal & the Air Canada are my favorites from DW. Now if they'd just give us the Orbital Sciences L-1011 with Pegasus!

Having only owning a few of the DW L-1011's, the best one I have would be the Pan Am.

I have the DW British Caledonian L1011. I think that this mould along with DW's MD-11 and MD80's are amongst the best 1:400 models.

Back to sweet Gilligan's Island with bunches of tanned ladies all over you! Also eating bunches of delicious and juicy Hawaiian Pineapple! You! Da Man!

I have a few of it.

I surely misses those bird as it is all extinict in ATL as I enjoyed watch so many, many, and many L-1011's hoovering around ATL!

Today at most airports are dead boring with all twin jets.

Eastern TriStar is VERY nice, but ...

who here likes the DeHavilland Dragon Rapide ?

RutleFan · 07-07-2005, 09:52 PM

I like this, being the only DW L-1011 I own (I even sold my Pan Am -- didn't care for the gray windows), but...

I'll vote for the Lufthansa DC-10 with the chrome belly. It's a beautiful thing.

You Guys Are My Friends!

Yes, The Eastern & Air Canada Are Dragon's Best, And The Last Hurrah For This Fabulous Mould. DW Stated They Stopped Production Of This Mould.
