Does it have to be an airliner? As I recon AF1 is heavily modified anyway, could C5M, for example, be turned into presidential "business jet" ?

+1 for Future Try it - you will be surprised how strong is the bond!

Hang on, Jennings !

As I understand, he prints them occasionally when then he has enough requests. I think the best way is to ask Keith himself. http://www.keithmcneill.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/

Sebastian, you may consider Keith McNeill's tile photodecals: Available in 1:200, 1:144 and 1:72

What about tiles?

Another suggestion - you may come out without sanding at all. Fill the gap with putty, let it cure. Than soak a q-tip in cheapest acetone nail polish remover and simply remove excess of putty as it is aggressive enough to dissolve putty but not kit's plastic.

Yes. This one: http://www.internetmodeler.com/scalemodels/flaviation/BPK-Boeing-T-43A-737-253-Navigation-Trainer.php

I wish it was mine

Usually I don't. Take a look - this is what could be built out of Revell kit: I'd say the panel lines look quite natural. Full story (including some in-process pics) here - sorry, Russian only: http://scalemodels.ru/modules/myarticles/img_6006_1359730411_IMG_1530_1.jpg.html

How about adding some Becherovka?

Zvezda has announced brand new A320.

I started mine some four years ago.... Given up http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234911425-alpha-delta/

I guess there must be something that is called "tradition". Britain was once a center of vacuforms, Poland is known for paper models, CZ for resin.

Gabor, Yufei, Any plans to downscale to 1:72 ?

Confirmed - add nose weight. Point.

I have about 50 boxes in my loft (about 10 years to build with my current building velocity), the main reasons I buy are: - found a bargain on eBay, bought widely available kit much cheaper than on high street - OOP kit - short runs, resin kits and vacuforms - first presses are usually of better quality But the most important - buying a new kit is a joy - I love to look what's inside the box and envisage me building and putting the model into the display cabinet.

I can only agree with everything that is said above. Start with original "Dune". All the movies are just worthless.

Scapilot - thanks for your reply I have a friend who wants to sell a couple of his models that are way beyond just "out of box" builds - super detailed, some of them are entirely scratch built; he has taken gold and "best of the show" on various competitions, therefore he expects the price tag to be much higher.
