Great shots as well as the mini dioramas.

Here are a couple of mish-mash combos of the PAN AM 727 representing the times that the airline flew B727s during the IGS Internal German Service flight from Tempelhof in then East Berlin.

And one in B&W:

Here's a mish-mash combo of my Gemini AKL B737-900ER placed into a photo of the ramp at anchorage.

A couple mish-mashes of the Delta B717.

Since I've started collecting, I've noticed how often I can better appreciate a model after I have photographed it close up. Plus I understand model reviews much better too.

WOW, great idea to put your models in the real airport! Really original, well done.
Great photos, positive rep. added.

Here is my Gemini American B787 9 mish-mash.

This one is a bit different. The original photo was of an American B787 8. Overlaying the 787 9 gave me a few challenges. The loading door and lift were overlaid over the model, so the Dreamliner fans out there may notice the hatch might be somewhat out of place compared to the wing. The slight offset of the Gemini wing cradle can appear very apparent when compared to GSE in a photo like this.

As I posted earlier, I used to do a lot of these photo combos in my past job. If anyone has any questions about how they are done, or want to try doing some with your own models, please let me know. I'll try to help you get started, or answer your questions. It can be a fun addition to your collection hobby.

Thanks for your comments, they are always welcome.

The B757-300 Mish-mash:

N3424V · 04-25-2017, 06:06 PM

The DC-10-30 mish-mash. This is a 1985 photo of the same a/c as the model. It isn't very hard to overlay the model of the identical bird itself.

The UPS B767-300F on a gloomy day at Louisville.

N3424V · 04-28-2017, 03:29 PM

Here is the mish-mash of the United B77-200ER.

Tried to vary the photos away from each mash being a taxi shot. The background photo originally showed a different United B777 taking off from LAX. I cheated this shot somewhat by adding the lowered flaps from the initial shot back onto the model's wing. Triple 7 fans may notice that I tried to get the line-up as close as possible, but may not have overlaid the flaps exactly right.

Two new additions to the collection.

I have the initial Boeing line-up, so here's the Gemini Delta DC-8-11 N801E.

Continuing to add to the Airbus line-up here's Gemini's Lufthansa A321-100 D-AIRR. I had to get a A320 series because my wife thinks You Tube's "Captain Joe" is cute.

The Pan AM 737 model was mish-mashed on another PA 737 at Zurich Airport taken in March, 1986.

N3424V · 04-30-2017, 05:21 PM

The Lufthansa A321 model mish-mashed onto a photo of another Lufthansa A321 at Frankfurt.

As with the B777 posted earlier, I "borrowed" the flaps and spoilers from the original photo and added them to the model.

Hope you enjoy it.

TWA B720 at LaGuardia International mish-mash.

Thanks for looking.

Two DC-8 mish-mashes.
