Show off your favourite model

Favourite model…there’s far too many to mention! Still, here are a few of my top ‘grails. Barely scratches the surface though and actually can’t even decide on one favourite out of this bunch…yeah, got a bit carried away here 😂 I also make no apology for my bias leaning toward the classic 747, and the 70’s-80’s era!
The KLM, ANZ, Qantas and Aer Lingus are probably my top 4 liveries on a classic 747 😮

Ohh those 747's are stunning!
 
Hi Guys!
My absolute favorite is a model of my very first flight back in 1963. I was often sent to Iceland in summertime to visit relatives and families. June 1963 was first time to take a flight and it was on Loftleidir DC-6B TF-LLB. The other photo is upon arrival to Reykjavik (KEF was still a Nato base only). I'm the guy with the tie. I'm of course very happy that this model has been made and a BIG tanks to Andrew Klein.View attachment 4855View attachment 4856
Whoa that's really really cool! And imagine wearing a tie at that age, whoa!
 
My favourite model has always been and probably always be the NG Qantas 787-9 Balarinji livery

I am especially fond of that Korean 747SP. Can't wait till NG makes a real 747 mould and makes a KAL on that!
...would be nice to have another -200 made with the ''K'' the same font size as the rest of the letters, here’s my BB400 “kOREAN AIR” HL7464 😂

My favorite is this North Central DC-9-50 by SMA, N772NC. Such a fascinating airline to me so of course I could not resist an opportunity to get this (albeit at a higher price than what I was willing to pay for it), and has proven valuable for my retro airport project. Excited to add more NC planes in the future.

Also had to update my pfp to reflect the Route of the Northliners. I love the design of it.

Very beautiful! Such a lovely livery!

That's a very nice list Alex, I will also have to make a top ten 😁, but not right now... I received my PH-BUN today, can't believe I found one at a decent price 😃

Thanks! And why not - look forward to seeing what those 😮✈️👏 Brilliant, well done on finding that one at a good price, a bonus. A great feeling when that happens.
 
It is a wonderful piece of art. The GeminiJets 747-200 mold is superb, and that first version of the KLM blue top livery is beautiful; GJ got it right too. Here it is this morning:

That's beautiful! I'd wish someone had made a KLM 747-200SUD too, but alas that has never happened aside from the awful Big Bird mk2 and Netmodels versions
 
Old school days, Aeroclassics Gen 1 Standard Negus VC10 G-ARVM, with both the grey and silver engines. Long history to the production model, not too sure if it's still on 400SCH, but production issues back 1999 meant that many of models were recalled, still one of my favorites though!
