new model maker...

1-11 lover · 07-18-2009, 11:48 AM

Hi everyone,
i am thinking of making small run of custom models in 1:400 scale. I am going to start with small classic 737-200's. I am going to make Orion airways (1980'-1990's UK), Hispania (Spain 1980's) and British Airtours (red tail). I will post pictures when done, however, if they turn out as well as other manufacturers (i'm pretty certin they will, i am good) like aeroclassics and gemini, i will be being making a limited run of 10 of each model to pass on. Has anyone got any ideal 737-200 wants? If i get 3 or 4 similar takes i will consider making them.

regards

Damo

What do you plan to use as the donor model/mould?

Hello, please do the really obscure airlines from equally obscure countries please!! he he.

Prestwick Pioneer:
i have been picking up cheap gemini jets models off e-bay.

Roarer:
I am looking to do airlines that have been overlooked by the large manufacturers. I will only make 5 of each and e-bay them.

All suggestions for airlines are welcome, however, two more i was thinking of were Aviogenex of Yugoslavia (90's) and Air Uk leisure

yeah and its NOT red, it is supposed to be a darker shade of Orange... can that be done?? i guess the latter version of Indian Airlines B732s that is Alliance Air is also a good option...

See my avatar for the first one, a 737 please.

Also if/when possible, one of the Central African Republic 'velles please.

Also, anything from Equitorial Guinea, Guinea Bassau, Moldova, Kyrgystan, or any of the not so modeled Pacific islands please.

Thanks.

Okay, what about a Ukraine International 737-200 like this one?

Roarer · 07-19-2009, 05:08 PM

Nice!! one of those too, even though it's not on my criteria seeing as it borders Russia.

A Tunisair in the current livery though, is one I'd like.

Thanks.

Unfortunately they didn't make it to -Y, that would have been an all time favourite-reg for sure!

Roarer · 07-25-2009, 01:35 PM

They'd have to paint it into a special Pride livery!!

'Welcome aboard the party plane!!'.

Well if you really like a model with such registrations you should buy the Egypt Air A300 from Dragon/jet-x.
They have release 4 different versions but one has the registration: SU-GAY

CO Rudy

Actually, I have this model, but used it as a donnor for my Lufthansa A306...

what makes this reg so funny is the UR in combination wiht it.. Anyway, SU-Gay is the only passenger version Jet-x produced of the 4 different versions you mentioned, that's why i got -GAY, NOT because this reg has a special meaning to me...

Roarer · 07-26-2009, 08:54 AM

And if it had had a special meaning to me, what would it have been??

Where you first came out??
