BA 757 Collection - 2020 Edition

[ukjohna]

Some great collection pictures being posted here during lockdown. It's been over 5 years since I posted what was my BA 757 collection at the time. A few more have been added, and I have a better lighting setup and diorama, so I decided it was time for a new set of pictures.

(for the purists, I know that the G-BIK* series should all have the earlier engines, but I was not going to wait for someone to produce those).

Most are Gemini donors, many by Stang2811 and the rest by me.

First up are Negus and Landor. The first 2 models, and the Caledonian are the old Skyline range. G-BPEE is a StarJets sample that never went into production. Sad to see that it has Yellowed since it's last photo session.

I think that this is a pretty complete representation, with the exception of the "World's Biggest Offer" Landor variation..

Hope you liked them.

These are beautiful. Ta muchly for sharing. Landor, Russia tail, and Pause to Remember liveries will always be favourites of mine. Quite a lovely collection of BA 757s!!

[mclarenchetan]

It was a treat to view the entire set of images, G-BMRJ (Grand union), G-CPEP (Ireland) and G-BIKH (Russia) are my favorites from your collection

[MSR777]

Very nice collection. A Boeing 757 in the Landor scheme = perfection.

Nice set. NG 400 have missed the Air 2000 BA craft.
Still got a Concorde to do. Was to be Benyhone. I think you suggested Chelsea Rose but ita a difficult decal to do. I am now veering towards the USA scheme as Concorde flew UK USA.

Your B 757 fleet is remarkable.

Thank you for sharing.

WOW!! That is an impressive collection of 757s, sir! I absolutely love your world tails...always been a big fan of them. At some point I'd love to start collecting that whole line.

Thanks for sharing!!

[Maarlandair]

Great collection of that sleek looking 757.
With such a large fleet you can make a true line up.

[robertjon5]

Fantastic collection as usual John!! bummer on that starjets sample going yellow. only 4 were ever made! nearly ready to do my collection. just waiting for a couple to arrive. but will obviously have to post it in military section.

[ukjohna]

Thanks to all for the kind comments. @Maarlandair - I did think about trying a “Covid Parking Lot” but it’s just too depressing for words.

Who is next up with their collection? Keep ‘em coming.
