Revell did a 1/144th scale B767 kit but it was only available in Landor Colours. However im sure its possible to get the transfers. Best place i could think of would be the Aviation Hobby shop in west drayton.

BNWO is on borrowed time due to their being an issue with corrosion on another member of the fleet however the a/c is unidentified. Shes not far off her hours limit of 110,000 and is currently on as of December last year, 105,219 hours! I do know there was a lifetime extention to 120,000 or 125,000 depending on series type but im not sure if BA have done this. It has however been done on some of their 747-400 series aircraft with G-BNLH which is now over the 110,000 limit having been sent to Victorville for warm storage along with a few other members of the fleet, the demise of G-BNLL at Johannesburg may have been the reason why! Lufthansa and KLM have also done the same for their series 400s!

Thanks Richard that hobby shop seems to have closed or moved will try to find more info but it's not important just seemed a good idea at the time ? When my kids were little mother in law always took them on Holliday and the airlines used to give them away to the kids free I wish they did it now BA wanted about £50 for a model but it wasn't a 767 and any way not paying that sort of money ,rather buy more railway models

I havent been up since last year but didnt realise they had closed. They might still be worth a call or email as it seems they have set up again so im not quite sure whats happened.

There a british airways 767 -300 currently on sale in the collectables transport section of e bay at 99p  these models however tend to be 1/200 to 1/250 but if in the air good for forcing perspective

Richard, the Revell one was discontinued a while back.

[Bob Tidbury]

Thanks Javlinfaw7 Will keep an eye on that can always spray the tail end white and get the transfers to do the one I want at least its the right plane.

I've just looked at this for the first time... and actually not all the pages, sorry 

So forgive me if the answer lies somewhere in the thread... if it does, can someone post a link, please?

I'm just curious as to the source of the aircraft on that wonderful airport scene at Minatur Wunderland in Hamburg.

Just had a quick look for 1/144 Aircraft kits.  There are 43 pages of kits...

[Bealman]

Awesome! All this stuff is out there, isn't it?!!

I did think about recreating this little scene on my Fairford branch part of my layout but then realised I wouldn't be able to run any trains.  Alongside Brize Norton and Bampton Station (Bampney on my layout) was an airfield and this one didn't quite make it, see about two thirds of the way down this page http://www.fairfordbranch.co.uk/History.htm .

Classic. You could always put it just to the side of the track.

[Greybeema]

Bit pricey but it is in Resin....
