The GSE is from Dragon Wings, the models are 2 seperate releases, they weren't released as a set.

Looks like there's a bird strike on the PH-BFU's nose.

ONLY On The DC-9 & 742! Even The 763NC Is Amazing From DW Which Is Usually Crappy.

Or Actual Reg#s, But Apparently, It was At The Request Of KLM As Part Of The Licencing Agreement.
Any Reason Why They Wanted To Do That & Any Reson Why They Don't Have Any Aircraft With The Letter J As The Suffix?

I Have 3 KLM Models I Have Not Yet Taken Pics Of.
763 KLM.com, The DW 80th As Posted Above, & Gemini's 742.
These Pics Are From 2004.

I am a big fan of your pictures, I too also like to fleet build, I am nowhere near the size of your collection.

Nice KLM collection and airport! I am still searching for a Dragon Wings KLM B747 Combi. Maybe AC/BB could make it.

Thanks Guys. I Think I Have Pretty Much Everything Made In 1/400 Except Herpa's KLM Asia 744. No Need To Go There.
And I Don't Have Gemini's 747NC Cargo, But I Got A Big Bird & I'm Not A Big Cargo Fan, So I Passed On The Gemini Cargo.

CARGO!





Note The Unusual Cheatline Window Configuration & And A Rare SUD Cargo. BTW This Is A 747-200. KLM Had Thier Original 747s Coverted To SUDs. So That Makes This A Second Conversion As A Special Freighter (747-206B SF SCD)

Forgot! Didn't Like The Skyjets/Gemini 310 So Didn't Buy That, Either. Hoping Gemini Will Remake That With Thier Improved Cockpit That Showed Up On The Fabulous Lufthansa!

DROOLING!!!!
Youre drooling??? Who isn't?!
I thought I beat you with my KLM fleet Rick...dammit, until I saw your 737 and the DC-9...how, who, where, when???
Well, at least I have the Herpa KLM-Asia and GJ A310...and GJ &44F....and...GJ A330 N/C...haha
Well well, I'm pretty sure Rick that you're not beating my THAI fleet

Where did you get the 737-200, and so many different planes. Really great. Especially with a piece of the F-pier

Probably. I Don't Have Any Of The New Thai Colors. I Have 7 In The Nicer Previous Colors. More To Come, But I've Been Postponing The Delivery Date From Airbus To Finish The Fleet. 2-A-300s ( I Got The Grey One) A-330.
Waiting For An Improved 777-200 From Boeing (DW) As Well. There Was A Factory Defect On The Original. Something To Do With Parts That Didn't Fit On The Cockpit.

The 737-200 & DC-9 Were From Seattle Model Company Released In Feb-March 2004 I Think Or It Might Have Been 2003, I Don't Remember.
If You Blinked, You Missed Them.
KLM Leased A Few From Their Charter Subsidiary, Transavia. There Must Have Been A Capacity Shortage & Lack Of Availability Of DC-9s At The Time. KLM Had a Vasty Fleet Of DC-9s, But It Is Interesting To See The Livery On The 737.

Same here! The nose is just way off!!! I will certainly dig it if GJ releases the KLM A310 on their improved mold with rolling tires!
