Ka-ching! Jaw-droppingly good looking.
Glad to see the Caravelle standard continue.
Oh... the poor Tucano looks so sad now.
The real Egyptair had its interior done in London...British seats.

WOW!!! Great mould AK! I love it!
I'm still not seeing many AC's up here but between this and the 707's the pressure will be on to import these beauties.
Thank you, well done!
Toucanscam, eat yer heart out!

ORANGE IS BEAUTIFUL GO WESTJET!!! We need more CPAir/CDN and don't forget PWA and BA Landor!
Its a beauty!! Im not sure if I will rush to get this because when I think TU154 I always think of an eastern block carrier. Although I think im just gonna have to pre-order it!
I just got back from the Newark Show, and Andrew's new mold rocks!
I was immediately struck by the realistically-positioned cokpit-windows, and the beautifully-detailed nose-wheel leg.
And, oh yes, the wings appeared to have some anhedral (downward slope) too.
I got there in time to lift it up before the "DON'T TOUCH" sign went up, and Ohhhhhhhhhhh. It's nice and hefty, but it still has all that delicate detail.
This looks so wonderful..I will get it...but, I can not find this airline with this plane or any tu-154s ...hell, I am not that anal though I'd buy it even if it is a fantasy
anyone have pictures of the real thing in egypt air colors?
Abso-FRIGGEN-lutely AWESOME looking mold, from these pictures! I'll be LOVING an "OK Jet" and a Cubana! I hope we see these must have -154's soon! I DO kind of wish the intakes of the nacelles had been painted, but the light of the flash is probably making them look unnaturally bright... Still, nothing a little Testors couldn't fix!
GREAT JOB Andrew!

Now here's something really quite novel- a Tu-154B marketed AS a Tu-154B and not the M model!
Good work, Andrew. I don't need to upgrade from my cheapsh*t flatscreen Dell monitor to some sort of exotic 45.3 Gigapixel resolution plasma whatever monitor to tell you've got a winner on your hands.
Personally, I'd love to see the Malev current colors and the colors of Interflug on this bird.
A coupla weeks ago I said that I thought AeroClassics were sub-par and that it would be doubtful that I would buy one (ever) because of the quality of the models). I take back that statement completely. In light of unfair and immature practices by SwissModels and Tucano, AeroClassics is the only one that has been steadily improving their model quality. (GJ and DW had completed their process sometime ago.)
I compliment AeroClassics heartily on their effort and I must say, this Tu-154 is an excellent model with near-perfect landing gear (which we all know is rare these days).

Verry interesting, as this model does look like a very good representation of an Egypt Air Tu-154B, even on my own monitor. Funny, the TC version just does not capture nearly the same level of accuracy and finesse, again using my own monitor. Besides, my monitor did not insert an inaccurate APU on the tail of the TC model. Sounds like we all are in agreement here
This is great! pic an airline that only had the aircraft for a month or two. They couldn't fly the aircraft and gave the rest back. I will buy this one but would like to see more main stream airlines that had the aircraft.
I see there is one 'Terrible' vote! OK, 'fess up - who is the knucklehead that voted that?
My first thoughts are that it could have been Tucano-Line, but now that seems unlikely - I believe they're too busy filing papers for the Swiss equivalent of 'Chapter 11.'
Will have to pass. Aeroflot, yes. But I've got too many others to pick up to add this one right now. Looks good though.
