…and as per Jonatan47’s request, here are some pics of my long-awaited Blue Box L1011 Air Portugal…truly-truly beautiful and yes, extremely hard-to-get! I’ve paid a little fortune to put my hands on it…but it's worth every $$$!
Enjoy!

Wow, congratulations! Nice diorama, who makes this tow-truck and the cargo-loaders?

I am still waiting for a decent L-1011 mould..

Many thanks for the kind words guys, they truly fuel my enthusiasm towards this wonderful hobby.

Thomas32125...all the GSE you see here is old stuff …the 1:500 Goldhofer AST-1 tow-truck is Herpa (accessories pack 519618)…the cargo loaders are Gemini Jets (GJAPS001).
Thankfully there’s much nicer stuff around these days…time to update!

Cheers!

Olá and thank you! Believe me, I almost had to sell the farm to get it!

Like you, OW was also my first try…even emailed Marco to ask him if a model was still available at TAP Museum (owned by OW)….zippo!

Luckily, a few days after posting my “Wanted BB L1011 TAP” on the “Model Trader” section, I was contacted by a collector who decided to sell his BB L1011 on eBay…had to wait another week…and to “fight” a couple of other interested buyers! The end result is pretty obvious!

So, my advice….post a request on the "Model Trader" section…you’ve got nothing to loose!

By the way…I’ve recently posted on the 1:500 section some pics of another model I’ve acquired (Net Model-500 B707 TAP Cargo)…a member expressed his interest on getting one for his collection…and guess what…another member (hugo) just posted on the same thread that he’s got TWO available!!!

Here’s the link to that thread:

See?...wonderful things can happen!

Boa sorte e obrigado!
