N3424V Collection Additions - Page 51

An interesting set of arrivals you have here and congratulations on surpassing 100 models!

The United B787-10 is stunning - I really wanted to add this one to my collection, but the 'fake' registration is virtually unforgivable from Gemini, especially on what is likely a corporate model for United Airlines. The same thing happened with the United B777-300/ER when Gemini released the model too early without waiting for the final registration to be confirmed. Still, this aside it looks like a superb model!

Thanks Thom and thanks Cal.

The 787-10 is a good model, but there aren't many base images yet to mash with.

The two "new" classics however have more choices.

Here's mish-mash two of the Braniff B720.

Now I don't know exactly what is going on here. The base photo is from the USA government archives, but there was no explanation other than an American Airlines DC-3 and a stagecoach.

But I thought, just for fun, what could be more "'Murican" than a 'Murican Airlines DC-3, cowboys, horses and a stagecoach. "Yee-Haw!!!"

As always, thanks for looking.

Airline websites can provide good shots for a mish-mash attempt. This one is from United's website of the B737 Max 9. It made a good subject for a 'mash attempt.

Thanks for looking.

Holy moly that's a good one Mike! You continue to perplex with these mashes, I really like the angle on this and the setting!

Cal1736 · 01-25-2019, 02:54 PM

All great 'mashes Mike! I have to agree with Thom though and say that the United B737-9/MAX is fantastic! It's always great to see a mix of the old and the new on your thread.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Guys!

Found another United in flight base photo on their website. It was too good to pass up a mish-mash attempt.

There hasn't been a 'mash of "Ruby Tuesday" for awhile, so I dragged her out. Although there are a few similar 747 at the gate 'mashes posted, the light was too good in this one not to give it an attempt.

Yeah I'm a huge fan of these beautiful air2air mashes!

Cal1736 · 01-27-2019, 07:24 AM

Amazing B747-400 mish-mashes Mike, the United Airlines ‘mash is just wonderful!

- Cal.

Thanks to both of you. I just wish I could find more air to air stuff to work with.

Been on Boeings for awhile, so I thought I attempt some Airbus birds.

Amazing United 737-9 mash! So jealous of 1:400 collectors

N3424V · 02-05-2019, 01:49 PM

Thanks Hoping!

Can't help you with a different scale.

N3424V · 02-05-2019, 02:07 PM

Added two B737s to the collection. I have at least on representative model of the 737s except for a -400, -500, and -600.

I was able to add a -400 and -500, but it appears a -600 will be a tall order as there weren't many models made.

Both of these models are "old-new-stock" so it is back to no antenna mounts and bad engine rims. Oh well!

The 734 is a Gemini model of a GB Airways bird operating for British Airways with dolphins on the tail and named "Blue Poole" registered G-TREN.

The 735 is a Phoenix model of the short-lived airline SkyEurope OM-SEA and has a photo of actress and model Adriana Skenarikovya-Karembue on the port side. While the actual aircraft looked nice,
the screening of the model's photo on the model, OK at normal viewing distance, doesn't work as well in a mish-mash close-up.

I did what I could to make it work in a 'mash, but all of you can be the judge. The starboard side should work well in a future attempt. It is a colorful livery.

Thanks for looking.

Cal1736 · 02-05-2019, 04:30 PM

A couple of unusual arrivals here Mike! I really like the British Airways B737-400 and it’s especially nice to see people still picking up models with the ‘World Tail’ designs.

N3424V · 02-08-2019, 03:00 PM

Thanks Cal.

Here are two more attempts with the classic 737s.

The 735 with the starboard side.

Excellent as always Mike, the British Airways B737 looks great!
