The 1/144 scale (12 feet per inch) models on this page were constructed over a six month period in 1998-1999.

All the decals are original and were produced, laboriously, on budget software, (the name of which I can not recall!).  Original promotional leaflets and photographs were used to achieve accuracy.

The decals were printed on an ALPS printer, a dry ink type that used ribbon cartridges. The DC 6 was created by shortening the length of a Minicraft DC 7, cutting out windows and other modifications.  The Mount Cook Hawker Siddley 748 and the Safe Air, Armstrong Whitworth Argosy were created from Welsh Model vac-forms.
