Decals. More like what you could purchase at a museum or airframer "pro shop". Reminiscent of when they were mohagony carved kits.

Just what it reminds me of! Also like those models which used to be in travel agent's windows way back when.

 

[Matt308]

Yeah... Dulles used to have a whole wing dedicated to these types of models. I loved getting off the plane and browsing them. I suspect they are long gone now with their major remodel.

Good ones!

I like the UAE VC10. The Ruler had three or four of those, all done out in very opulent style!

 

[Matt308]

But why black inner engine nacelles?

 

[Airframes]

It was in mourning, as his cat had died?

[Gnomey]

Nice ones!

 

[Airframes]

Nice. Like the DC4, can't beat the old prop-liners for appeal. And it's got a transparent windscreen !

 

[Lucky13]

....and a forward gunturret!

 

[Airframes]

Eh! Where?

 

[Wayne Little]

The Catalina is nice.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice ones!

What a coincidence! Only last night I was wondering if a kit of the Drover existed, and here one is!! I'd like one in 1/48th scale, in Flying Doctors colours of course!
The other models look nice, but I still think they're spoiled by the decals ove the windows and windscreen - why not cut the decals open and use the kit transparencies? They'd look a lot better and less like 'solid' travel agents displays!
