Charter 1:400 collection.

I really like your collection criteria: A bundle of not just ordinary, but also obscure holiday-package airlines with interesting liveries. I actually miss those days when you could see a Balkan Tu-154 next to a BMI Baby 737 and a First Choice 757 in the background.

I also saw a lot of Enter Air & Jet2 737's landing in Dubrovnik when I was on vacation back in 2014!

Thank you for reminding me of that with your collection! :)
 
The two Ural Airlines Tu-154 compared. Herpa nose section is not the best, Aeroclassics nose section is not the best too but, compared, better than Herpa one.
Maybe Herpa blue of the tail fin Is closer to the original airplane. But Is Is also and always a "sunlight matter".

Wonderful comparison. Herpa indeed messed up in the front section but the Aeroclassics Tu-154 is also very weak. The landing gears are terrible... that nose gear is way too long. Both models have seamlines at the tail section but the AC is worse, since it also have seams from the horizontal stabs fitment.

by the way, what a nice looking bird. Ural had a great livery too.

And then Pulkovo Tu-154 is a great miss in 1:500 scale!
