To illustrate why you should all be collecting B reggers here's the lovely 'Tibet Nyingchi Peach Blossoms' / 'Linzhi, a Pure Land of Enchanting Beauty' of Tibet Airlines by NG Models. They already have a wonderful base livery but B-1008, one of 27 A319ceos in the fleet, wears this scheme celebrating the Nyingchi Peach Blossom festival. Nyingchi / Linzhi is a region in the southeastern part of the Tibet Autonomous Region renowned for its lush, green landscapes that stand in stark contrast to the more arid Tibetan plateau. The area is often called the "Switzerland of Tibet" for its picturesque scenery.

Another lovely recent Chinese special is the Sichuan Airlines A330-200 B-8962 wearing the 2025 Chengdu World Games scheme. China loves these games schemes and they're usually lovely, although you have to put up with the mascots! The mascots for the Chengdu 2025 World Games are Shu Bao, a giant panda, and Jin Zai, a golden snub-nosed monkey. The pair represents two iconic species of Sichuan province and symbolizes Chengdu's rich biodiversity and commitment to conservation. Anyway this is one of only 4 A330-200s in the fleet of 212 aircraft.

Lovely! Please post your airport on the Model Airports section. It will be a very welcome addition to that section, which sadly seems to be quite neglected by most members of this forum

It is perhaps not well known that Thai Airways Company was a separate airline to Thai Airways International and flew for 37 years before being merged into the latter. Indeed Thai Airways was responsible, along with SAS, for the formation of the international arm in 1960. The airline flew to a wide variety of domestic destinations, plus international services to Laos, Malaysia and Vietnam. In 1986 Thai acquired a pair of brand new A310-204s (fitted with wingtip fences), both of which transferred to Thai Airways International when the merger went ahead in April 1988. HS-TIA was sadly destroyed in December 1988 when it crashed on its third attempt to land in bad weather at Surat Thani, killing 101 of 146 aboard. I just picked up this 2021 release from Aeroclassics from Jet Collector. The CF6 equipped version of the Aeroclassics A310 looks much better than Pratt equipped version.



Thai Airways Company also had a fleet of 5 Boeing 737-200s and 4 Shorts 330s during the 1980s prior to the merger with the International arm. Aeroclassics also released one of the 737-200s, HS-TBC, in 2020 and she looks great next to the A310. The reg choices are somewhat odd for these models as both were written off. HS-TBC crashed into the sea near Phuket on August 31, 1987 killing all 83 onboard. The crash was caused by a stall and ATC issues failing to keep aircraft adequately spaced.

Nice birds, too bad about the sad outcome of both.
This livery of Thai reminds me of Sudan Airways. The layout it a bit similar
By the way, the A310 crash was in 1998, not 1988, but I guess it was just a small typo

Two new arrivals the other day from JetCollector! Both are US Airways models needed for my collection.

First is N576UW, An A321 delivered ~technically~ to American Airlines at the end of US Airways time. This plane inly existed in this scheme for around a year before moving to AA colors.



Next is an A330-300, N678US. This model is great however my nose gear was snapped off on arrival. Talking to him now about any possible replacements (lol) or discounts of any kind. Huge bummer but at least I have the thing in my possession. It’ll be tough but I may be able to glue it cleanly if i’m careful enough.

Some BA models that were at a friends house finally in my possession and the Gemini Macs C5 in the Camo to pair with my Dragon Wings Version

 

[josecolme]

My two latest arrivals.
AC Sabena DC-10
AC Varig L-188. I've been after this electra for ages. Probably one of the best color schemes on the electra.

An interesting addition to my collection, a gift from a friend as well.
