Hi All,BigGrin

Bombardier Aerospace have delivered the first of up to eight Q400`s to NOK Airlines.
The order has been confirmed for delivery of six Q400`s with an option on two more.

Here`s a link to some pics and more info on the plane itself and how NOK Airlines intend to use them.

The Livery looks like a goose on a Saturday night out. LOL

Hi Mr T, BigGrin

Did think the same myself, but wasn`t sure if it was the large turbo prop engines that makes them look narrower.

Will try and source an overhead pic to get a better view.

Hi Derek

That looks a rather "scary" aircraft. It looks so fragile being so long and thin.

Would make an interesting plastic model with that paint scheme thought it's the sort of thing Revell have always been good at producing.

Happy modelling

Hi Tony, BigGrin BigGrin

Have done a bit of a search, but only found die-cast models so far.

Never know what may come up in the near future. Confused

Hi Derek,

Still kicking myself for losing a revell millenium kit I had. It had a brilliant decal set showing famous Austrians through the ages.

Over the years have filled the loft twice over with plastic and sorted some kits a while back for the local church stall and Mum gave this away in error - my fault for leaving it out.

Hope the home is getting back to normal after all the work you are having done and you can get back to building.

Happy modelling

Hi Tony, Crying

So sad, but answer is:

Do your own clearing out.

Between you and me, plus whoever else is looking in:

(Hopefully not my Mother) They don`t have a clue when it comes to boy`s toys.

LOL

Del I quite agree like an idiot I put out two piles of kits - a keep and a give away.

Mum being oh so generous decided to give both lots away. My own fault so still kicking myself but on the positive side maybe they made some money for a good cause.

Bound to be another one of these on eBay at some point in the future probable selling for a "trillion quid" LOL still that will help my nectar points balance BigGrin
