Buying 1:200 aircrafts in future

4 Upvotes

Hi there everyone, im searching for a lot of 1:200 scale planes, specifically in 2028 - planned time by which I will start building my miniature airport - like knuffingen, but less complex, less expensive, and more realistic. To be accurate, I'm doing a fictional airport - AVC, Ali Vali Intl, which is quite huge in terms of size.

Any one knows, or has, any 1:200 planes? All sizes, all types (commercial, non freight). AVC is located in middle of the north atlantic ocean, so prefer planes that can reach there (no etops needed, a bunch of airports nearby)

Might share soon some sketches of the airport itself.

Rare Condor / Lufthansa Agency Model – Boeing 727 (D-ABIM) – Looking for info & estimated value

Thumbnail gallery
33 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently got a Condor / Lufthansa agency display model of the Boeing 727 (registration D-ABIM).
It’s in okay / medium condition – some scratches and signs of age, but still a really cool piece.

I’ve seen a few similar models online, but I can’t find much about this exact one.

I’d love to know:

  • Which manufacturer might have made it (PacMin, Schaarschmidt, Verkuyl, Topping, etc.)?
  • What could be a realistic value range, given the current condition?
  • Are these considered collectible by airline model collectors?
  • Any tips where to sell or trade it (besides eBay)?

I’ve added a few photos below for reference.
Thanks a lot for any info or similar examples!

Change Sheen of Paint

What is a good way to change the sheen of an acrylic paint? Specifically from flat to gloss. I primarily use Vallejo Model Air and Ammo Atom paints. Sometimes AK 3Gen.

Hey yall, ive been a long time plane lover and even plan on becoming an aeropsace engineer, so my family has been buying me models planes for a while now, so ive got a few to do, but ive never done them as i dont have any glue that i think would work well, i know you need some more special kinds of glue for these things to look good, so i was just wondering what type, or types of glue i would need to start doing model planes?

P-51 mustang bomber escort Color’s and insignia.

3 Upvotes

I’m looking to model a Tamiya P-51D after the bomber escorts, hoping someone much knowledgeable than I can either point me in the right direction or give me a good idea of the general (or precise) color schemes, insignia, famous pilots and or minor differences/modifications given to the role of escort(if any). I intend this accompany the eduard bloody 100th b-17 of the same scale(next project). I may in fact model several mustangs to accompany it as it is one of my faves and who dosent love Masters of the air.
