It's really difficult for me to choose only 1 favorite model in my collection....but if I had to choose one, it would be my ATA 757-23N N514AT in the "vacation" scheme that I had custom made on an NG Model.
Sadly, the person that made this no longer does custom models and this was the last one he did.

Not at a place where I can take photos right now, but I'd say the following are my favorites:

Delta 737-800 N3734B (first request done)
Delta A330-900neo N405DX (another request and such a beautiful aircraft in itself)
United 757-200 N14106 (favorite modern special livery, shame they repainted it)

Lots of runner-ups (N704X, HL7461, HL8081, N936AN, N176DZ, the list goes on), but these are the ones that immediately come to mind when I think of a favorite model.

All are NGs and are near-perfect even with my standards which can get a little nitpicky. I'll be flying on a United 757 soon and I'd be absolutely delighted if N14106 is the one.

Yes. it was. He also did an American Trans Air 707-320C for me.

He is a great guy. Airplane Replicas has been quiet as of late.

can you talk a little more about the modifications? I see the flaps down aspect it seems but interested in everything else

The main mod was the -30 fuselage shortened to a -21.
And yes, that's flaps down. I remember I never intended to keep it this way as this was just meant as some fun gimmick I played around with - slats made of Alu-foil, flaps made of resin. But I ended up leaving it as is while the 2nd set of wings is still lying around somewhere waiting for its treatment...
Decals were printed on one of my good old ALPS MD-series machines with all their ups and downs hence I kept the dedicated 400 scale artwork simple. From a 2026 point of view the artwork looks crude, but I still love this little model which might get a little sister when I get the time to...
