The silvery grey over the wing centre section is usually called coroguard if that is what you mean.

I've got the Impulse release and it is what can only be described as spectacular. I'm eagerly awaiting the Air New Zealand Link (Eagle) 1900Ds. The all black one should look amazing.

Like the Qantas centennial one? Gads that's fugly. :p

It was an interesting machine. It came pretty close to sales down here in Oceania, both in Australia and New Zealand. Pity so few were made.

A BUA stone & sky hockey stick would be hugely appreciated, just for starters!

Thinking about it, I'd like to see a Qantas 737-476 in the old 1984-2007 colours. In this livery, these were the backbone of the Australian domestic fleet for a quarter of a century and we still don't have one in 1:400.

Thank you! I'm very much looking forwards to these Kiwi birds on your excellent B1900D print. Cheers!

Something a bit obscure perhaps, but a retro holy grail for me. https://en.namu.wiki/w/Tu-114 https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/rbthmedia/images/2021.06/original/60cb0e2715e9f951f56c2155.jpg This monster is essentially the size of an L-1011 and, IMHO, would be a spectacular and unusual addition to many...

Having just got the superb Impulse B1900D, I have a couple of requests for more of this type. In the past I've flown a bit on the Air New Zealand Link (Eagle Airways) B1900Ds and it would be nice if 3D could consider doing one in the standard colours and one in the 'all black' colours; Regular...

My Impulse B1900D just arrived and I'm absolutely gobsmacked at the detail 3DDD has managed to cram into this tiny model. Pictured on the lid of a 10ml Tamiya model paint pot for rough scale. The thing is miniscule and totally awesome!

All excellent choices for 3D printing I'd say. (I also have a guilty desire for an S.O. 30P Bretagne. It just looks so cool.) I've also got the gorgeous little NZ Herpa Catalina, had to have it as it is a flown on.

I've got a few pistons. All the BOAC white and blue tail double bar pistons released to date plus various other TAA, Ansett-ANA, QANTAS & TEAL. With some odds & sods. Really hoping for an Ambassador and a Solent one day. I've got my fingers crossed that 3D printing will come to the rescue on...

Those Q400s look really good! I'm eagerly awaiting the B1900 pictures! Any estimate for when you'll be starting to ship these?

This is welcome news. Although I'm still a bit surprised at the dearth of C-Series/A220 moulds in this scale.

Nice write up. Another Aussie airline that just couldn't break into the field. There have been plenty of antecedents, Air Australia (ex Strategic) with their A320's (Gemini 1/400), Compass' A300s and A310 (Aeroclassics both in 1/400) and Compass II and their MD-80s (noone yet) spring to mind.
