British Airways Collection

[BA117]

I purchased from eBay I think they said HC customs or something along those lines, don’t know the reg off by heart unfortunately, also the 744 that says customs will be Ireland Dove, Chelsea Rose, and South Africa (the one that wasn’t made in 1/400) and I think the 772 custom will also be an Ireland livery

H&C Custom Models, I know them well, Hugo and Charlie, Charlie being the custom model maker. Both out of Guernsey in the UK, sadly Hugo passed away a couple of years ago and Charlie is no longer in the hobby. They produced some great custom BA models, pleased to say I have a fair number of them.

I recall they were commissioned by a fellow BA collector to customise a range of A380 Utopia tail models, unique and were subsequently sold to a Hong Kong collector, one of a kind! Keep looking for those HC models, I have bar two, all of the 752 Utopia models, including the tail variations!

Very Jealous, will definitely be getting my friend Dan to do the remaining liveries required purchased a 752 for another custom aswell

I managed to dig out a couple of the custom BA 752 Utopia tail 1:400 models for you British Airways Fan, without doubt my favourite is the Paithani tail. A mix of custom model makers but believe Paithani was a New England Custom Model.

G-BMRA Paithani - India

G-BIKI, G-BMRE, G-CPEU and G-CPEV Rendezvous (Phase 1, 2 & 3 ) - Hong Kong

Just missing two to complete the 36 airframes that carried the Utopia tails, G-BMRF Water Dreaming - Australia and G-BPEC Waves and Crane - Japan. Hoping to see the two as a future NG Model release.

Those look great! Thanks for digging them out! Yes I really hope NG Models releases more Utopia Tails for sure

Managed to pickup British Airways A380 “Union Flag” G-XLEA from the waffle collection sale to accompany British Airways A380 “Union Flag” G-XLEB GJ, British Airways A380 “Union Flag” G-XLED GJ, British Airways A380 “Union Flag” G-XLEK PHX! Also pre ordered the new NG Landor Tristar and the GJ BA 788 aswell. Have alot of research to go through to make sure I have the right time frames for certain liveries/registrations for when I create my two dioramas. Also I have been editing the main collection list on the first page with each new model purchased

Some more arrivals, the two union flag 744s are customs, and the negus is to replace my other “flawed” version

Just sharing my 1/400 British Airways Collection, listed below is the collection in its entirety,

Older pics so it is not fully up to date, as I am currently away from the collection and they are all packed up. Hopefully will eventually make a LHR T4 Diorama from 1997-2000s to showcase the World Tails/Landor liveries with some other retro models in my collection and a LHR T5 to showcase the Union Flag/A350s, 787s, A380s!

Excited to see what this forum has to offer, enjoy!

wow, that's impressive! i can definitely understand your ba-love. I do also have a couple of ba's, but far not as many as you. I love their livery, no matter which one. the idea of different colorful ethnic tail-colors combined with british old school "queen-style" was simply fantastic. the union jack livery is a little boring combined to what was before, but still nice to look at compared to other airlines. and jumping backwards, the good old landor livery for me was a combination of james bond, queen, and english correctness

Unfortunately didn’t have time to take everything out and take pics before moving away, but thought to share a couple of highlights of the collection in these pics
