PT-TAA 1/400 scale Customs.
After several years I finally made my first 1/400 scale custom model, a Britannia 757-200, registered G-BYAY, 1984 colors. The real machine was delivered new to Britannia on April 1999, to Thomsonfly on November 2005, then to Thomson Airways on October 2008. Received winglets on April 2009 and she's part of TUI Airways since October 2017.

The model departed today to its new home in UK!

Your models are really perfect and your research of perfection, even before your great skills, should be an example for each manufacturer, Herpa in primis!
Great job my friend.

Absolutely beautiful! One of my favourite ever liveries and a name and livery that really shouldn't have disappeared.
Excellent!

Re: Britannia 757-200 - first 1/400 custom
Hello everyone and, again, happy 2019. Here's my last custom of 2018 and the second 1/400 scale custom, an Iran Air A320-200, registered EP-IEA, 1979 colors, 1/400 scale.
The real machine was ordered by ACES Colombia but not taken up, went instead to SAETA Air Equador on May 1995, registered HC-BUM and named "Pichinca", but operated for LAPSA Air Paraguay. Four years later she went to LTU, as D-ALTA, until April 2002; after being stored at DUS for 8 months she was reregistered D-ANNA and began operating for Blue Wings. Since March 2005 to Mahan Air as EP-MHK, then from February 2009 until June/July 2010 to Iran Air, as EP-IEA. Went to Meraj Airlines on July 2010, reregistered EP-AJC and and flew for Iran Government, in fact she was painted in that livery. (If you want to check how EP-AJC looked like please see this thread: https://www.wings900.com/vb/custom-m...s-1-500-a.html ). Not the first time I make more than one model of the same real airframe from different times!  Finally, since 2018 she is part of Dena Airways, reg. EP-DAC and currently she seems to be stored.
