(Custom) scale model pics.

.

An animal photo topic, a FS screenshot topic, so why not a Scalemodel topic ?

Three customs, all 1/500 scale, i recently acquired:



PH-MPF, A320.



PH-AAX, "Harry" A380.

I'm not a big fan off phantasy models, but on may 18th 2008 my favourite uncle died and this is my way of remembering him. Harry passed away at the age of 49.



N464TA, A320.

It's a start. If and when i have some more spare time, i'll add my other customs to this topic and replace current photo's with better once.

Bye, Chris.

Wow Chris! Very nice customs. Did you follow the steps from CB-customs?
You have a huge fleet of Dutch airlines, right?

I look forward to see some more!

My model airport. Also shown at Wings900.com:

First: the above are not self made customs.
The KLM was made by ´Mastercustoms´ (if you are on Wings900, you might have read the topic about this custom.) and both Martinairs have been made by a customizer who wants to remain anonimous.

I have two CB-customs (Both Arkeflys) and several customs, mainly Transavia 737s, made by Lorenzo from Italy (Lollo on wings900).
I have one on order from Lorenze (Transavia / Deutsche BA hybride) and one on order from another customizer in Brasil.

In due time, CB-Customs will make another Arkefly custom, but no date has been set yet.

Planning to start my own work at the end of this month, when the decals arrive. (Air Holland 737-300 and TRA 737-200).

All donors have arrived, BTW.

But enough about me...

Nice airport you have. Did you use Herpa groud foil for this one ?

[Boudewijn van Oirschot]

Okay, I am sorry about that

Yeh I am on Wings900 aswell as Mr. AeroMexico) and there are a couple of customizers. CB-customs asked me if I would like to get an ArkeFly A320, the same as you have I thought. But I denied because I don't had enough money.

May I ask you were you order the decals? Because I would like to make some models Herpa or any other manufacter never will release like Azerbaijan Airlines and Turkmenistan Airlines.

My airport is made by myself. I used a wooden board and painted it and drew the taxi lines myself.
Only the buildings are Herpa's made

I ordered decals by F-DCALS (Link can be found on the Wings900 forum).
They can resize to 1/500 if needed...

There are others, also mentioned on Wings900 (Custom topic).

Well, very impressive IMHO.

Bye, Chris.

[Boudewijn van Oirschot]

Thanks!

If you order some decals they can resize it indeed. But do they send it via post of via email so that I need a laser printer to print those decals?
I think I can make a choice, just need a donor model

Well, i hope they sent it by mail, 'cause i can't print decals.

@ ILSlover:

Good looking model !
