Newest arrival, one of many coming in shortly. Part of my (maybe?) undisclosed side journey to collect all the America West 752s in this scale. this one puts me over 50% at 6 of 11 unique regs out there. Proper photos of all of them are down the pipeline.



Also got these from Tiny Tugs on insta, all 3D printed GSE.

-Ground Power Units, hopefully modify a little cable that can “attach” to the planes
-Generic Gray baggage carts and tugs, hopeful to modify these down the line
-“Poop Collectors”





Just more to add around and help out my dioramas, just after 5 minutes of messing around with them I enjoy the final product.

America West always had some really cool liveries. I thought their final livery was ahead of its time for the early / mid 2000's.

I agree, hence this journey if mine! Not only was their standard at the time great (even the OG one before the 90s/00s) but all these specials were so bright and bold. I hope someone like NG can get to some of these specials down the road to do these true justice…

I truly believe if America West was still around today, that livery would still be going strong and maybe an unpopular opinion but I believe blows SWA out of the water. Nothing like the red and green cactus accents in the hot PHX sun.

I was so disappointed with the new America west livery. The original was gorgeous with blue cheat lines and burgundy logo. The new livery looked too cartoon for me. Southwest captured the PHX sun way better. Just my opinion.

Interesting take for sure... The new America West livery is one of my all-time favorites.

Another ancient, but lovely, 747 eBay arrival last week was this UPS 747-123(SF). Made in 2003 by BigBird and one of 240 units made. I never appreciated the old chocolate UPS scheme but it's grown on me.

Wonderful oldie.
I just wonder why they printed the reg on top of the wing lol

Arrival number 2 of a handful more came this weekend. By JC and is technically a legacy US Airways aircraft believe it or not. While I didn’t include this or the other reg released on my list, it may join in the future and was still a must have for me regardless. Proper photos soon

Trio of new (old) arrivals. The Capital viscount is definitely the star of this show - I actually already have this exact one but couldn’t pass it up on waffles collection sale for $35. My grandfathers airline career began on these based at PIT

Dash 8 C-GFMX in Home Office livery rests on the apron after its transatlantic delivery flight…

Didn’t know quite what to expect from a 3D printed model but I’m pleasantly surprised and many thanks to 3D Design Deck in Canada for the excellent model and service
