A long time without any update in these treads. Have had a very busy fall of last year, so have not been too good at keeping these treads up to date. However, hoping that 2018 will turn out better, I’ll start this year with some new models from last fall.
From Oceania we have:
1:400
airnorth Embraer E170 VH-ANO
Regional Express (REX) SAAB 340 VH-REX
VH-ANO, 12-year-old Embraer 170, originally delivered to Hong Kong Express in 2005 as B-KXB. In 2007, she entered service with airnorth with the name of “Savannah”.
VH-REX, a 22-year-old SAAB 340, this aircraft built in 1996 was originally built in 1996 to American Eagle; she joined REX in May 2010 as the 25th SAAB.
Please enjoy

Virgin Australia Boeing 737-800
VH-WCE and VH-FRE, after the improved version of the “Gold Coast Suns” and “Australian Football League” football livery from 2011, we here see a “Westcoast Eagles” and “Fremantle Dockers” model. Virgin Blue painted two Boeing 737, VH-VUY and VH-VUZ, in these types of sponsored liveries. These, however, are improved versions of the liveries on a Virgin Australia livery. Originally, Virgin did not paint sponsor liveries of these of these teams. Hear we, however, see how they could have looked if painted and in an improved version with the new Virgin Australia tail, stripes on the engines and a few more details.

Wow!!
Your customs are fantastic -
The standout for me is the Qantas 789 "Emily" .
Can you describe how you got this result - did you down scale some commercially made decals?

Thank you!
I designed the decals my self and then when it came to applying them to the model, it all came down to patience and persistence.
