Looks awesome! DW mould holding up pretty well, despite the lack of more intricate features like antennas and better gears.

Awesome!!!
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!Awesome!!!

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 need to stop visiting this thread...

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.
