Awesome!!! :cool:

BTW, the IL-76 is so underrated in 1:400 scale. No one is releasing them anymore, it seems. Huge shame.
They are also rare and expensive to find nowadays. I guess I'll end up ordering 3D printed ones at some point.
I'm crossing my fingers for NG to make them since they already made the Y-20 with the same exact engines!
 
I need to stop visiting this thread... 🤣. Talk about two models that would fit dead center in my collection... I did a couple of Aeropostal A320s, but turned out quite bad. The donors had CFM engines, so I tried to convert them to IAE, which made things worse. I flew on the whitetail A320 MAR-MIA once, my first time on board something other than a Boeing or McDonnell Douglas. I did not fly on the A310s, but they used them on CCS-MAR routes for crew familiarization and it was so cool to see a widebody over the city for a change. My parents happened to fly to CCS around that time and were lucky to get an A310 instead of the usual DC-9. I have a safety card from that flight, a cherished piece in my memorabilia collection.

As always, amazing job Jose! Thanks for the memories!

Glad you liked them! There are quite a few more to come. I did get to see the A320 at CCS. I want to say I saw the A310 at CUR but I'm not sure.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the next one.

Nice work! Here are pieces of the real OB-R-728 for sale! https://planetags.com/products/convair-cv-990-ob-r-728 Still in the same paint scheme as your model.

Do you do customs for others by any chance? Looking for several rare/obscure 1980s carriers that I doubt any manufacturer will ever touch.

Britt Airways and Florida Express BAC 1-11s (and Allegheny 3 reds and USAir bare metal since those only exist on the AC spin-cast mold)
Midway, Braniff II, and Presidential Airways 737-200s
Northwest, Republic, and Continental MD-80s, and a Continental 737-300

Thanks! Yes, I've been wanting to get one of those tags. I do make customs for others, most of these posted here are for customers. Right now I'm a bit tight on time and orders though. But post those planes anyways would be interesting to work them in the future.
