Some cargo aircraft for my future diorama build, set in early-to-mid 2010s. Really loving the polished look of Cathay’s Silver Bullets.

What's up with the white tail engine inlet on the DC-10? Just AC being AC...

Here are some models which I acquired at the FMO Modelltag taken place last weekend at the Münster/Osnabruck Airport. I was at the show on Saturday.
Starting with a quadruple of GJ's Tridents - clockwise from top right to top left:
- British Air Ferries Trident 1E G-AVYD
- Kuwait Airways Trident 1E 9K-ACF
- Cyprus Airways Trident 5B-DAD - this airframe was left to rot in Cyprus
- CAAC Trident 3B B-270
The Tridents are fascinating machines as being the first aircraft with autoland capabilities, whose computational power required much more space that led to the aircraft' s signature offset nose gear to the port side.
For my active aircraft collection, this 7-year old model from GJ - Flydubai Boeing 737-Max 8 A6-MAX. I would actually prefer a Max-9 but no manufacturer has made it.
Moving to the widebodies, a rare occurence with the best Tristar mould in the scale - and an interesting scheme as well is this British Airways Lockheed L1011-200 G-BGBC "The Shot Silk Rose" by NG in the Negus scheme with big titles. I was surprised to find it laying on the table, which the seller explained to me - it has a missng dot on top of the i on the starboard side, which he also explained to me how it could be repaired. With the current setup at my cabinet, the model appeared just fine since the port side was facing out. Anyway I am still glad to add this model.
This model made me doubt for long before acquiring it - a beautiful Ural Airlines Ilyushin IL-86 RA-86078 by JC. The aircraft was once spotted at my hometown airport carrying the tourists. I might wonder what was the routing then given the short range of Soviet's first widebody.
10 years has passed since the airline's collapse but Transaero still left me with vivid memories. It used to conduct multiple flights to SGN with various equipment - no guarantee on a specific type - originating from various places. I have seen stable amount of 744s - both the ex-SA airframe with RR and ex-JL with CF6s - to 762/3 and 772/3. The airline's bankruptcy meant at that time for me no representation since I was aiming at active airframes then. 10 years later, the scope has expanded and i am more than happy to welcome this defunct airlines. The last model I introduce today is Transaero B747-446 EI-XLD by JC. The airframe was later transferred to Rossiya, which carries the Amur Tiger special decoration on the nose.
