BBX Dragon Air OC L-1011 New Pictures

MS@SFO · 12-20-2005, 03:57 AM

I have just been sent this picture. I thought I better share it with you all.
This is the next release from "them", this time I have been told they have made changes to the tail. Available soon from your favorite BBX retailer.

TG757 · 12-20-2005, 06:50 AM

Wow...this is great!! KA L1011 in Old livery!

goldy · 12-20-2005, 12:02 PM

They keep modifing it and soon it will look like an MD-11.

Goldy

Airlines123 · 12-20-2005, 12:22 PM

I'll be getting this one!!! Tail looks good.

bdreamliner787 · 12-20-2005, 01:39 PM

Nice retro livery! It is good to know they listen to the collectors and make the necessary improvement in the product. Nice additional to my collection.

freewing · 12-20-2005, 01:56 PM

I will get this one, period.

aklein707 · 12-20-2005, 09:50 PM

You're right, I will always say that it sucks, as I'm not into knock-offs and pirated goods. Even their name "Blue Box" is pirated from a reputable Hong Kong Toy manufacturer. Shame on them, and shame on those who support them!

Your a **** HEAD AK!
MORE AND MORE PPL ARE STARTING TO SUPPORT BLUE BOX, GET A LIFE IDIOT AND KNOCK OFF ANOTHER BRAND OR MANUFACTURE, THE MORE YOU OPEN YOUR PATHETIC BIG MOUTH THE MORE BLUE BOX GROWS SO KEEP IT COMMIN I GUESS, **** HEAD

What is the connection between DA.C and Blue Nuts? And why is Andrew allowed to criticize them and are my posts deleted???

waiping · 12-21-2005, 12:50 AM

Perhaps they should put "Please note that we are not related nor affiliated to blah blah blah" for example.

EpoisseAF · 12-21-2005, 01:48 AM

Well this will be yet another Bleaux-Box L-10 that makes it to the collection. I have to say the level of anger at witch Andrew directs at Blu-Box is illuminating. He is definitely releasing way too much product, and if someone comes on the scene with a mould that could sell, it makes it all the more difficult for him to sell his wares. He says he sells out of all his releases but my guess is that he gets quite a few dealers telling him to ease up on his production run. What I find truly disgusting and hypocritical is the fact that He complains about Blue-box mould accuracy when Aeroclassics line up is not without some real dogs, the DC-6b and the 727-200 is the worst that this hobby has to put up with!

Not sure of the DAC ~ Blue Nuts connection, if any, but if I were the powers that be at DAC, I'd distance myself from those pirates!
One ironic thing though, is that I've never agreed with anything posted in BUZZland until now; they too didn't have anything good to say about Blue Nuts! (forgot the phrase they used, but I must admit it not only was true, but quite funny too!) (one positive rep to BUZZ!!

)

Seems Blue Nuts biggest mouthpiece is some coward posting under STAR ALLIANCE. Having read his/her recent post, I can definitely detect a lack of intelligence, but an accute hostility.

jjorgemiami · 12-21-2005, 02:27 AM

Why do some of these seem to have a tail seam and some don't?

aklein707 · 12-21-2005, 03:03 AM

Maybe their putty cracked giving way to the tail seam!!

Who do you think you're fooling with your post?
If you want to buy their crap, it's up to you; it's your money, and your collection.

Amazing though, with all the negative comments our admittedly mediocre DC-6 & 727-200 receive, they still sell out, every time!! Further, I'm amazed the same 5 or 6 people keep on harping about the one or two so-called bad moulds we have, but say nothing about the other 24 good moulds we do have. Their jealousy, and the hatred towards me that it spews, is quite obvious!
Carry On!

Ya freakin' wanna know the reason your 727-200 is mediocre??? No god damn Western 727-200 in flying "W"......thats why! No Continental Red or Black meatball, thats why!!! No Emery 721, no Emery stretch 8, no Purolator 727, no All Canada Express 727, no Air Canada Cargo dc-8, No National DC-8...wait...nevermind that last one.....

I own every 727 you have released and they have all been gems. Just pick any or all from the above list and I will die a happy man!

You were deleted for the same reason I was.You were deleted for attacking another member needlessly.I was deleted for attacking you for attacking someone else.

Even though I was deleted,Im glad to see that the moderators are not putting up with the nonsense of members attacking other members.Now maybe people will start being nice to others.

Sorry,I will have to disagree with you.The Aeroclassics 727-200 is by far the BEST 200 out there.The Boeing 727-200 is my favorite plane,and Andrew has done an A+ Job with it.

The DC-6,Im not to sure about.Im not really familiur with that plane,BUT at least Andrew made it,and from what I have seen that is a very nice model as well.Who esle has a DC-6 out there?

I agree with Dylan,We need both flying "W's"White,and bud light

I agree with Dylan,We need both Continental Meatballs

I agree with Dylan,I'd like to see what the Emery would look like.This is one I would consider.

aklein707 · 12-21-2005, 12:40 PM

I too agree with both of you; stand by for AeroClassics 2006!!

Don Clipper Spirit · 12-21-2005, 03:28 PM

I work for this company and I love that scheme. But I will pass it and wait for the day another company releases this mould on a Tristar mould.

BBx should follow BB and go! And before they do, they should melt that mould and burry what is left of it!

Lack of intelligence. AK grow up and get back to making what has made you one of the best manufactures around. Make Aeroclassics. Remember you started out out with a screw in your models........................................

At least someone had a nut/ball to do this at time!

No wonder why Dr. Evil is celebrating! (Where is F*cking Dr. Evil!?)

aznichiro115 · 12-21-2005, 10:53 PM

everyone needs to start somewhere and time is needed to improve, Aeroclassics is a perfect example, they found something no one was making, at first the models were.....not exactly the best but as time went on thye improved the molds and look how nicely done the models are.

give bluebox a break, they are taking suggestions and the fixed errors, give them some time and the models should improve

Thats it, and a good way to put it, get on with it and make what you make best instead of chopping others knee's off.
Aeroclassics.....are the classics NO QUESTION!
Blue Box.....are something new and an ever growing support base with subjects ppl and collectors warm to.
Bottom line Aeroclassics and Blue Box...2 different lines and market objectives!
