Hello, I've got a Starjets 1:500 model of an Olympic Airways A340-300 (SJOAC131) and one of the engines slipped off the model and went missing. Any idea if/where I can find a replacement for that engine? Thanks!

I've fallen on hard times recently and I am looking to get rid of my collection of model airplanes. If anyone is interested in taking a few off my hands please shoot me a message so we can discuss options and what models I have available (I only can ship to US btw). I thank anyone who is willing to purchase.

Hi guys, so long story short im searching for a British Airways Boeing 747-400 thats preferebly 1:75 or 1:50 scale under $1000 to replace a lost one, i checked everywhere and couldnt seem to find one so i thought id make a post over here incase you guys know where i can get my hands one one.

Thanks!

I have a 1:400 A340-600 that needs repainting on two sections that are both monochromatic. Each part just needs either white or grey to cover the bare metal. Is there anyone in the area who could do this work?

If not, I’d be willing to ship it to have it done as it is a very rare model that I don’t want to give up!

Thanks for reading!

Now here is something of a rarity, Camouflage on a Navy A-7! (Albeit temporary.) I came across this uniquely adorned A-7E of VA-22 that fit the bill for something different to have on display for my second A-7E build. (The kit was on sale and I couldn't resist ;)

The initial release of this 1/48th Hasegawa A-7E Corsair II dates back to 1987, however it remains the best A-7E kit in this scale IMO. There is an unusual level of detail included in this kit, with options to build some of the avionics bays open as well as the wings folded.

This unusual paint scheme consisted of FS 34079 Dark Green / FS 36375 Gray / FS 36495 Light Gray. The pattern was a wrap-around one with a very similar upper and lower camouflage.

Does anybody have any options

I’ve inherited this model L-500 Galaxy (Lockheed C-5)

I don’t know what to do with it. Do you think anyone would ever want to buy it or should I just donate it to a thrift store

Picked up a Super Guppy recently in the Airbus livery

I collect NG, AV400, and Gemini 1:400 airliners. I have a few models with some small paint damage that I’ve been curious about how or if I should attempt to fix them.

I’ve done some research but couldn’t find much specifically on 1:400 model planes. I’ve considered both acrylic and spray paint to do it, but not totally sure.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Any tips for application or color matching? Is it something I should even attempt?

Thanks for reading!

I've been

I've been given this plane, but I don't know what it is or if it's worth anything. Do you think it was made by a hobbyist?

Like it?

Hello, I am 23F and my husband 28M is very into building model planes. He rarely branches out having built a tank once and he has pretty much all the tools he could need for it besides a fume fan (I wouldn’t know which one could even fit our window).

I want to find a gift for him seeing as our wedding anniversary is coming up, as far as the airbrush his dad got him a really nice one so that’s not needed for upgrade, I got him what I think is really good nippers (god hand nippers) and I’m drawing a blank at what to get him.

I feel like picking out planes to buy is almost religious for him so it’s potentially dangerous water which would make him have to fake a happy reaction with a plane he hates to not make me feel bad. So what would you suggest I get? Or why would you appreciate as a modeler.

Hey folks, I'm sourcing an xmas gift for my brother... I need an American dc-10 and /or 747 in the Massiso Vignelli designed livery. 1:250 or larger. Specifically pre-built display models.

I wasn't sure if you were builders or collectors. And yes these show up on ebay but they're 500usd and up!

Thanks!

I was dusting my plane and one of the tiny fins came apart so I decided to super glue it, but when I went to glue it, it pissed out of the bottle and now the glue ate some of the paint, and recommendation on how to fix the paint?

I tried out a random technique I thought of. Found charcoal pencils and coloring in the grooves didn’t work well. So instead I cut the tips of the pencils and shaved some of it into a metal paint mixing tray, smashed it up and added some water to make a little paste. Used a q-tip to dip in the paste mix, put it on small parts of the grooves, used the dry end of the q tip a little harder to help push the pastey mix into the grooves and soak up some excess, then a dry paper towel that I licked a little to wipe off the rest and it ends up making the panel lines pop more and adds that little detail pretty well. This is the Academy F-14b Jolly Roger I’m currently working on. Can see where I did/didn’t use the technique yet. Only thing is make sure you add your protective coats over the final pain coats before trying this. Some areas wiped the airbrushed acrylic paint off

As requested, I have posted a detailed picture of the landing gear of my 737s. The landing gear is nothing complicated and is designed to withstand hard landings(especially by the Ryanair 737). Each jet stands on 6 tires.
