Thank you (you know who you are), for a great day and for the models

Lovely models that got a new home

New AC United DC-10 came in. Had to do a quick comparison between it and the DW version. That being said, anyone looking for a DC-10 for custom work?

Which one are you getting rid of? And what are the deficiencies?

The DW. It has a couple of paint blemishes and no box. Hence the custom work, unless someone can fix it up.

The only custom I'd be interested in would be a FedEx purple top, but I'd rather have it on the AC mold... or better yet a new mold from NG.

Some of mine, mostly from Airliners International.

That Atlas 747 looks nice! Engines seem to be PW instead of GE, though.
It's a Hogan model?

Indeed, the engines are wrong now that you mention it. It needed some good polishing and I remember noticing that the nacelles were kind of small.

It is Aero Le Plane (Lysia). The mold has some differences from other Hogan 744s I have, but at the same time has many similarities (the stand hole and landing gear are identical to my Hogans). I think it is some sort of flavor of the Hogan/Herpa mold, which seemed to have been constantly tweaked.

Here it is next to my other Atlas birds, including a FlightLine 400 (JC) version of the same aircraft, and two other Aero Le Plane 748s.

Awesome! Lysia had some models in 1:500 too, I remember them being mentioned sometimes.

Much like Hogan, they did (or still do?) models exclusive for airlines in all major scales.

A new NG came to me today: China Airlines Cargo B777-200F B-18775! Overall a nicely-made model, I think it is one of the nicer B777 NG has made so far!

I wonder if there's any chance of them doing that in FedEx...

A lovely early AC Ozark 9 you've got there.
This is one of those models I'd love to see remade on a new mould. Don't know why but I love those Ozark colors. My first ever made 1/400 custom was Ozark too.

Yeah, found it for a pretty good price there. Would love to see a redo on a new mould too, along with some other operators.
