Airliners...........

[jcf]

Tell me, are you A or B, B or E or S or M, A or B, McD or LM, T or A?

The secret code of Airliner Modellers - I bet there is a handshake as well...

A or B, B or E or S or M, A or B, McD or LM, T or A

Let me give you a hint:
1. 7xx or Axxx

2. B = who manufactures the replacement of the Crash-8 for SAS? E = Who is the largest competitor to the previously mentioned B? S = new to the airliner market, in same size as E and Bs largest planes. M = has been in and out of the airliner market, producing strange F-16s in between.

3. A = turboprop that does not crash. B = Crash-8

4. One produces 3 engined airliners, the other produces ugly 3 engined airliners.

5. Hehehe

3. If by A you mean ATR, it has more fatal events (5) than the Dash-8 (4). Airsafe also lists a total of 55 U.S. incidents for the ATR (42,72) versus 32 for the DHC-8.

4. Neither produces any airliners and haven't for some time.

All of the above............

For GTX...... the 787s are 1/200 snap-fit Skymarks/ Rise Soon / Airfix etc. At this stage I'm not sure there is a "proper" 787 kit available?

PR19.....that's one looooooooooooooooong 777!!!!!  is it 1/144th??

As for the "code"......well lets say answers are B, E, M, R, MD and A 

I do like the Sovietised DC9 also........have you thought about putting some "eyebrow" windows on it???

And they have secret, underground highway tunnels for the exclusive use of airline modelers!

Wingman,

I, or rather they, are 1/144.

It's three Minicraft 777-300s and two Welsh Model ones, the latter used to fill in the gaps where the wings were on the Minicraft ones. Wait till you see it with the decals on........

Lol, my code would be:

B, S, A, McD, T

3. If by A you mean ATR, it has more fatal events (5) than the Dash-8 (4). Airsafe also lists a total of 55 U.S. incidents for the ATR (42,72) versus 32 for the DHC-8.

4. Neither produces any airliners and haven't for some time.

Some people don't have humor. When did i state that one is less safe then the other?
And for number 4, if what you are saying is fact, then why are model manufacturers still spitting out F-4s, P-51s, A-10s, DC-3s etc?

Lots of great designs posted here. This thread is for those who think airliner models can be a bit boring! Not at all

Actually I have a well developed sense of humour, however your statement wasn't particularly humorous and
'the one that doesn't crash' versus 'Crash-8' is a statement about safety.
If what I am stating is fact? Uh no, it is fact, neither company have produced an airliner in some time, and the production of plastic models is irrelevant and has nothing to do with the production of the real article.

Always thought a twin-engined MD-11 would be cool, a bit like the DC-10 twin:

Actually I have a well developed sense of humour,

And did i ever accuse you of not having that?
