Pretty nice! Though did you swap the engines? I’m not good with knowing which engines goes on which planes but they seem swapped.

All engines are those originally prescribed to the donor models and correct for the custom aircraft they represent. G-BIKN always had RB-211 535C types as shown and all BA's own 767-300 fleet had RB-211 engines as well.

I see. Never knew the 75s had such variant.

The stunningly good looking Iberia TriStar from Buchannan has arrived. Completely sold out already.

I was dragging my feet with this one (beautiful livery, beautiful aircraft, beautiful mold, but not exactly in my criteria) but finally punched the button yesterday morning as it seems it turned out to be as popular as expected. A rare iconic aircraft in real life, bound to become a rare model...

JetCollector still has it listed, I was afraid that they might not have updated their inventory, but the order has been shipped and it's on the way! I will be gone when it arrives though.

There were two types of RB-211 available to the 757, the original 535C and the later introduced 535-E4 identifiable by it's longer cowling and ETOPS rating. P&W also had it's own 757 engine available which was found unsurprisingly on many of the North American operated fleets.

You'll love it.

That is basically why I rarely touch 1:200 (excluding biz jets), larger doesn't imply more detail or better mould at all with NG now in the game. Still in dire need of the 744/8 from NG...

A few of recent arrivals, amazing month of models

I love the Condor 753 with the hearts! Is that from Gemini Jets?

My most recent purchase is another 757 from NG Models! As always, very happy with the quality of their models!

I don't particularly like NG 777, but American? Sure

Two founding Oneworld members 777

Maybe I should also get a BA Oneworld to form a complete set of OW founding members?
(I did get a Qantas OW 747 - it's just that I store it at other place and just ain't able to take it out for pictures)

Old Pics, definitely added more to the Fleet, but no current pics since away from it for a while because of school

The NG Cathay Pacific TriStar has arrived, very nice to add another classic L-1011 to my collection.

Thanks! It's from JC Wings. Yes it's a lovely one and I hunted for a while until getting it finally.

Impressive collection! Mine’s all in storage boxes due to impending house move that keeps getting stalled and then it’s a trip to IKEA for some nice presentation cabinets I think haha

I've never seen anyone display there collection in wooden cabinets. in my opinion it looks better, cause i do not want to see my models above glass.

I believe @Purpleplane displays his models on wooden shelves too. I prefer glass as it allows more light into the lower shelves without the need for extra lights to be added to the cabinet.

Yeah I’ve been looking at glass cabinets as I feel they look better visually, but everyone has their own preference and the collection still looks good on wooden shelves
