Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

After two and half years, time to bring this thread back to life! To do that I just finished a batch of 6 new World tails. The first is a 747-400, reg. G-BNLC, 1997 colors, "Colum/Dove" tail, 1/500 scale. The real machine was delivered to BA in February 1989 and named "City of Cardiff", painted in "Colum" colors from 1999 to 2003, then to Union Flag current colors. She left the fleet in October 2008 and scrapped in Cardiff in November 2011, ironically in the place who gave its name.

And the eleventh and last for this batch is a BA Cityflyer Saab 2000, registered G-CDKA, 1997 (Union Flag) colors, 1/500 scale. The real propliner was the 6th Saab 2000, delivered new to Crossair on August 1994, as HB-IZC, transfered to Swiss on March 2002, returned to Saab (SE-006) on August 2003, to Soder Air as OH-SRC on December 2003, back to Saab again on May 2004, taken by Eastern Airways on March 2005, as G-CDKA, leased to BA Cityflyer on May 2015, returned to Eastern Airways on June 2018 and then stored at ORB on August 2018. My second 3D printed model after the first, unpleasant try, with an Air Baltic Bae 146-100 from many years ago. Now that the material has been improved the results are much better, the paint dries normally. Even with the improvements some of the flaws still remain, such as the quite rough surface (more intense on some models) and on few models there are some print defects which need to be corrected, which means extra work. Anyway the final results are much better and this turned out to be my top favourite of the batch.

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Lovely work as always, Sergio.

Not according to Airfleets.net and Planespotters.net.

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Actually it's G-BDXB, I'll correct the text. Thanks for the head up. :)

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

WOW my friend, those B747s...simply sublime work, Sergio(n)!!! ;) too bad the World Tails weren't around for long, they were so recognisable!!!

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

What a nice batch!! :D
They are all so similar yet sooo different

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

That checks out. Unfortunately, even though it's... "Preserved" it looks to be in pretty bad shape. :(

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Spectacular work as always!

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Thank you all!!

Sad, but true!

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Such an excellent batch of BA World Tails! I really liked the idea, too bad Mrs. Thatcher didn't :lol:

Sadly, the Jumbo BDXB is indeed in bad shape at Xiamen airport.

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

That's a lot of great customs there Sergio! The iconic World Tails by BA are absolutely well represented in this batch, not only including a lot of different tails but also a lot of different aircraft. I didn't even know BA used to have CFM56 powered A320s.. You learn something new every day!

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Lookds bad indeed. If they dont have any use for it, I will see if I can free up some space here :lol:


Actually I own that very plane in 1:36, she used to be in the BA HQ before they phased her out. Very rare as Sergio said, only one in Union Flag.


Nice job Sergio, while Landor is unbeatable, these liveries are still proving to be popular or interesting 20 years later.

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Thank you, guys!

Thanks! BA had 10x CFM56 engined A320s, 5x -100 (G-BUSB~F) and 5x -200 (G-BUSG~K), all scrapped.

Someone is really digging those BA 737-400s! Great models, all of them, as usual Sergio!

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Wonderful birds! Did you use the same donor for all of them?

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Great job on the customs. I love the Poppy livery, they often get overlooked by model manufacturers. I also like the Grand Union livery, especially as I live near the Grand Union Canal which is what the design is based on.

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Whoever ordered these models must be the Homzie of Speedbird World Tails. You as always did a great job Sergio, commenting on your threads often becomes incredibly repetitive as I keep repeating praises to your work!

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Those batches look amazing, thanks for sharing :)

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Thank you!!!})

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

The Comair fleet is so nice. The only 727s operated in British Airways colors, I suppose. The Union Jack one is really beautiful!!!

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Yep, only them, IIRC they were six. Interestingly, there are small windowline differences, on left side, between them. Also, on ZS-NOU "Blomsterang" (Herpa - used it as donor) and on ZS-NOV "Delftblue Daybreak" the British Airways titles are placed slightly to the rear, if compared to the other four. In the short time they flew for Comair, at least one or two had the original Comair livery, at least one got the "Landor" colors and perhaps one or two later received the standard "Union Flag" (other than the already painted ZS-OBM). Not so much photos or data available...

Here's a family picture, minus the Herpa donor.

She flew in "Landor" colors, then received the "Rendezvous" colors, on November 1997. Got the final (and standard) "Union Flag" livery on December 2001.

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

WOW Sergio, good to see the BA B767 in the Russia World Tail...sad to see her leave the fleet! G-ZZZC is a rare bird as it is still one of the earlier B777 (non-ER ones) in the BA fleet which won't be with BA for long...G-VIIM and G-VIIN are fabulous as well, the collector who has ordered them has great taste!!! The last pic reminds me of London Heathrow from the late 1990s with so many colourful World Tails, too bad someone didn't like them!!!

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Thank you!!

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

That's a massive world tails fleet Sergio. It's hard to comprehend the sheer size of your workings by all the individual posts!

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models

Those four little bastards gave me some headache!:rolleyes:

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Great Releases again, Sergio.

G-BUSB was "Isle of Jersey".

The little "Bastards" are really nice made. These little shoe boxes might surely not win a beauty contest as such, but I really like them. Way too few in 1:500, especially if you consider what flew in the UK & IRL.

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Thank you, Norbert!! I'll edit the caption!

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

So nice and so tiny! They are lovely :clap:
I wish the RJ100 had blue engines aswell, too bad BA decided to keep them white.

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Some really nice birds you got there Sergio, a lot of gorgeous Shorts customs!

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Thank you, dear friends!

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Nice pair :cool:

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Very neat models Sergio, the tail looks amazing with the Union Jack livery. The white engines and horizontal stabs add for another level of great detail!

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Thank you! I couldn't have made them without your help!!:)

Thank you!!

Coinciding with the 747 retirement at British Airways this one is my last World Tail 747 in 1/500 (there are three in 1/400 still to be made later, but they were already made in 1/500 I think).

Re: PT-TAA British Airways custom models
 

Looks neat Sergio! Back when all European flag carriers had an asia division; British Asia Airways, KLM asia, Air France Asie and Swissair Asia.. Looks stunning to coincide with BA's 747 retirement!
