Well, it's more just a model of something like this:



I've never thought about it too hard, other than, it would be nice in a model, but a quick search found these:

Oh yeah and if anyone could PLEASE make a Bn Islander (it doesn't have to be 1:400), then, for Scotland, we could have these:


This absolutely gorgeous Shetlandic one (I don't remember the wing edges being yellow when I saw it, and on the website below the picture, it appears to have been replaced with black):

AND, of course, that old Orcadian Loganair chestnut of mine:

Horizon was bought by Thomson Holidays whose in-house airline was Britannia Airways. In 1988 Orion was merged into Britannia and the airline was confined to history.

Orion was actually the first airline I flew with. I must have only been about 3 or 4 at the time but I vaguely remember it.

Thanks, that gives enough to go on. If you've seen a picture and want a model, I guess that's enough reason to add it to the list, but realistically, that's a custom job you want there.

Not being British or European, I'll never understand the affinity for charter airlines shown by others in this topic.

I didn't realise Aeroclassics had a Fairchild 227 mold. Looks like it's been unused for years - were they not big sellers? Between that and JC Wings' new Shorts 360 mold, that brings a lot of airlines into the picture. I highly doubt we'll never see a BN Islander, Cessna or Beech 1900, but an ATR42/72 and EMB120 are plausible, no?

But with the Fairchild and Shorts, a bunch of forgotten US regional airlines are doable. I'm sure my list is missing at least a dozen of those.

But do we really have all of the Virgin Atlantic 744s yet? We also could release all of the Air France 744s since they have a new livery now. That could be cool!

It's no different from the affinity for US internal airlnes that never flew outside the US border. All British charter airlines flew routes to destinations throughout Europe, so were not just confined to UK.

They don't! This was a Gen 1 decalled release that was only made in three liveries, I believe. The mould was then re-tooled to produce the much better and more popular Fokker/Fairchild F-27A Series 100/200 which served in many more liveries.

I'm not talking about how domestic or parochial the interest is; i'm talking about charter vs regular scheduled service. Going on holiday on a charter carrier just seems to be a much more common activity in Europe than the US. I wonder why.

Looks like 4: Nordair, Northeast, Ozark, Air New England. And we're either to believe that somebody paid over $1000 each for the first three, or somebody made an error in updating the database.

Another one off the list. Porter, due to GJ.

I hope others don't consider this spam. I think it's an interesting list to maintain.

Would be interested to see the list narrowed down to national flag carriers only. Might stand a better chance of getting these made, as they would be recognised by more people outside the forum.

I don't know. I think flag carrier is an outdated term, going back to the days when countries had a single dominant government-owned airline. That idea is becoming less and less relevant as airlines are privatised and newer airlines increase their market share.

But this is part of the reason I highlight model-less countries in a different color, to make them stand out. Often one of the airlines listed with them could be considered the flag carrier. I'm also putting some airlines in bold, to make them stand out from the lists of more obscure airlines.

Ah, I see Cruzeiro has been completed as well. Things are coming off the list faster than I expected.

Everybody can continue making suggestions; next time I update the list I'll add your ideas (unless I think something really crosses the line of obscurity)

It would be great to see a Maersk 737. I believe they have yet to be released in 1/400. how about no representation at all!

With suggested updates. I think Gol will be next off the list.

To those who made suggestions:

jetblue190: thank you, I just added clickair and harmony. I'm not adding Bearskin due to a lack of moulds of their aircraft types.
gospodin: yes, i forgot greenland
newfster: MAT is a good one, just added
N922WN: No apology needed, you are right, I forgot Ukraine Intl and it is the official flag carrier
Blue Angel #5: I agree, Maersk should be done
cellindo: OK, now I have all these Indonesian airlines I never heard of. By the way, Lion Air and Merpati have been done already.
SuriProf: Surinam is underdone, but it has been done. The famous 743 has been done. But I'll add InselAir.

In the U.S., how about Western Pacific?

Of course, it does raise the question as to whom to approach in regard to licensing. Who owns the intellectual property of that carrier? And more importantly, does this mean approaching the companies who put their logos on the aircraft, or the estate of the airline? This is probably why this carrier hasn't been done yet.

For Canada, how about FirstAir?

Yes good idea, but if not 'flag carriers', then the major national airline of that country that includes that country's name in it's title. e.g. Air Zimabwe, Air Malta etc. I think if you narrowed the list down to these, there would be a good chance of them being done, rather than all the small airlines that many less-knowledgable people may never have heard of.

Well some of those are already pretty obscure in my book? Every one has a different view of what is obscure and what isn't. I'm very surprised to see Silver City Airways in the UK list? The only mould that could possible be done in this livery is a DC-3 as we have no Bristol Freighter or Handley Page Hermes moulds (there was a Vanguard painted up but it never saw service!). If Silver City is not regarded as obscure, then why aren't Invicta International(DC-4, Britannia & Vanguard) , Starways(DC-3,DC-4 & Viscount) or Skyways of London (DC-3 & HS748) not on the list, or BKS Air Transport (we only have the GJ Trident)?

Of course, it does raise the question as to whom to approach in regard to licensing. Who owns the intellectual property of that carrier? And more importantly, does this mean approaching the companies who put their logos on the aircraft, or the estate of the airline? This is probably why this carrier hasn't been done yet.

For Canada, how about FirstAir?
FirstAir can be added, next time I refresh.

As for expired airlines, it depends on whether somebody bought rights to the brand or not, and whether they maintained the marks. The Pan Am name and logos are the property of an existing company, so licensing has to go through them. Some other defunct airline names and logos are likely back in the public domain.

Transaero has been done quite a bit.

Loganair: yup, the Saab makes it possible.
PacificBlue: I'd have expected Phoenix to make that, and they have.

Thank you for the help.

Tell you what - I'll put a couple more in bold, to make them stand out. Suggest 2 or 3 more to highlight; no more.

As for obscure airlines, I'm just making the people happy. I think it's better to err on the side of too many, than too few. Random defunct airlines from the 70s might be done by AC. Brand new low cost carriers could grow.

I put Silver City on there because I thought you in particular would like it.

There is no norwegian airline done.(SAS is scandinavian)
There is no danish airline done.(SAS is scandinavian)
There is no swedish airline done except "SAS lite" aka Scanair.

For most of us in the cold northern europe flying meant going on vacation to Majorca, Italy or some other mediterranean place. SAS was always expensive like hell to fly and was really for the guys in suits. Normal folks got a break when the charter airlines started flying.
Anyone going to Majorca through the years or the Canary islands have seen Braathens SAFE 737-200, Maersk 720 and 737, Sterling Airways 727 and Caravelle, Transair Sweden 727, Conair of scandinavia 720, Kar-Air DC-8 alongside local flavours such as Aviaco DC-8 and Caravelle, Spantax Coronado and Air Spain DC-8's.
Those were the airlines normal folks assosiated with flying, because they had flewn on them.

No, I don't agree that we should concentrate on flag carriers.
Adrian doesn't seem to mind that Great Britain has 458 yes, that's fourhundredandfiftyeight 1:400 models listed in the database!

Bring on the charter airlines!

Here in Sydney, I can't seem to find many Etihad models. I've seen the A380 here and there but nothing much else.

I'm updating the list of airlines with no models in :400. Hopefully somebody finds the list interesting or useful, and not just spam.

Air Algerie is off the list, since last time. 4 airlines have come off, since the thread started.

As always, I'll incorporate suggestions, but try to keep them from being too obscure. Also, I'll take advice on how to make the thing look more orderly, without removing airlines that different people care about.

I think GarudaRod said something like Wizz is unlikely to come from Gemini, which I think is a bad sign for a lot of the other airlines on here.

Red = entire country has no models

Albania

Thanks, I'll add those, marccferr. Though TRIP is not currently possible; no mold for any of those.

I see that Aeroclassics has made a few Air Malta models while I wasn't paying attention, so that's also off the list.

Turkish Airlines without a doubt. Only one flimsy looking offering (A330) from Gemini? Come on! They operate 77W, 738, A343, A319, A320, A321 etc.
