This could be my thread, or for everyone to use.

I’ll start using off! This old America West A319 is being transformed into a United old livery A319. Most of the green was not removable, so the tail will be painted over, and the underbelly already has been. If no manufacturer wants to release the UAL 319 again, I’ll do it myself. I will use V1 Decals for this model.

It was actually very easy! I used Tamiya XF-19 sky gray paint for the bottom.

 

[Columbus Aviation]

what's the process for keeping other areas safe from the paint?

(definitely not planning some things now)

Use duct tape and I recommend using a model that has underbelly paint , so you have a guideline if the model you’re building has one too. Like JetBlue, United, Delta etc.

Looks great. I do think someone will release the Evo short term but for the Unicon… I doubt it.

What about SAS or Widerøe in 1:200? Not sure if they would be too complicated or not.

Widerøe models would be doable, any model in mind? Gemini has made the E2 and Q400, so there’s not much I could make. Maybe a Q100 in 1:200? Looking at SAS now.

 

[Columbus Aviation]

Is Atlantic Airways possible?

 

[Starz10p Aviation]

Liking my options. You could definitely turn this into a business

Honestly anything would work, but i do like the Q100 idea.

 

[Starz10p Aviation]

Would love to see Solaseed Air, if that is possible.

These 737s are probably only going to come to fruition through customs, but are these feasible?

With the right donor of course!

As a suggestion... I think you should have some finished models before annoucing your work, so people can actually see what they're purchasing and what to expect. "Quality is not guaranteed" is not really something inviting

Great point. Agreed. I have a model in final production so that would work! It looks very good now, I’ll post a picture in a few.

I don’t know the name of the airline I. The second picture, but I can definitely do the Ethiopian with or without scimitars.

Is Atlantic Airways possible?

Not yet without decals.
