Ha ha, nice one Wys, this forum could do with some more comedy smilies like that ! As for the ATP picture and livery… it’s looking good and one of the best uses of a basic white livery I’ve seen for a while.

That of course is if it really is going to be the new Emerald livery.:D

There was a feature in last month’s Aircraft Illustrated on Air Atlanta which explained the situation with the Virgin 747. Interesting read.

Ah yes, I see.

So does it belong to the Dutch Dakota Association ?

What material are these models made of? Polished iron?

Looks good!

They generally come with an all metal fuselage finish. Sometimes the tail fin is plastic depending on which series you get, Gemini Jets/Gemini Jets II/ Gemini-Schuco.

The undercarriage is plastic and the engines tend to be as well. Detailing is always superb, especially for something so small as a 1/400th scale model.

Didn’t Spinal Tap play a gig in an air force hangar at Des Moines (lol):D

Keep the pics coming WD, great stuff.
