I have been adding some models as of late but wasn't able to share them with you. Today, I would share some of them and would like to start first with models which I bought without their original boxes (again!) - I took the risk and most of them came in intact.
Starting with
Air Florida B737-2T4 Adv N53AF by
GJ, which I just received today. At first I thought the postman had lost it because it was marked "as delivered" yesterday but didn't show up. Luckily it was here!
Moving on with a set of models I received around 1-2 weeks ago - a
British Airways B737-5L9 G-MSKB by
GJ. The aircraft featured a Hybrid Landor livery and was operated by Maersk Air UK when she was leased to BA. Astonishingly, my first ever B735 - which is the missing piece for my B737 Classic lineup.
Then, another 737 Original, this time coming from Canadia -
Nordair B737-242C C-FNAQ by
AC. It had some dirt marks when viewing from the top but otherwise looked fine from the sides.
It's T-tail time - a first DC-9 for quite a while (I used to have 1 before but sold it) -
Delta DC-9-32 N1267L by
GJ in the Widget scheme - the DL scheme I most fond of.
And the only unfortunate victim of the whole set (port v. stab felt out - dried glue although the seller wrapped very carefully and the v.stab is still inside the bubble) but also the most interesting frame -
Austrian DC-9-32 OE-LDA by
AC. The shiny chrome of this 2007-made model is much more shiny than many of the recent releases by the brand.
To conclude this post - a model which I just picked up from a collector this afternoon - the astonishing
Alaska Airlines B737-490 N792AS by
GJ in the original special "
King Salmon" livery. The livery was later applied to a B738 - which right now featured a more elaborate version named "Salmon People".
That concludes today' s post of incoming narrowbodies. Which models leave you with the most impression in the batch?
