British Airways “Colour Down the Side”

[Jolly Roger]

The Dash 8 was the only aircraft in the BA fleet to have this Utopia / World Images tail and I’m really surprised that no mainstream manufacturer has replicated it. Just a shame that the GJs donor has engines that are “too fat”.

This comparison shows the issue of the engine size.

Nice job!

Well after over 5 years from making this model it still has to be released by a mainstream manufacture.
Seen here departing from Manchester on the1st June 2000.

Great job! Looks awesome. And yes, it has fat engines. The only reason I haven't gotten a few -300s to make some customs myself. They should've used the same engines as on the 100. From what I'm aware of the engine nacelles are the same. Only changing intenally.

The best -300 in 1:200, for me atleast, is the a-net model built foe ANA. The only drawback is the way the main gear is fitted to the nacelle. But that can be fixed with a little modification.

I'm thinking of getting a -300 3d printed to make a few customs.

Totally agree about the “fat” engines. Shame that GJs could get it right. Hogan was better.

Not just fat engines but also too long gears!

Aaa yes Hogan. I guess A-net is just the hogan model with another name.
