My old man was also type rated for the -337s when they joined the fleet. Plus, it would bring back memories of the AI corp. office in Nariman Point ( back when aviatiors ran the airline, rather than politicians ). Good times!!

Needless to say, it didn't come out too good!! I used 1980s vintage AI "Fragile" stickers to get the Air India titles from. Oh well - it was fun doing it. So here it is, not sure of the scale, though! 1:400 scale Aeroclassics Indian Airlines Airbus A300 VT-EVD And for good measure, here is the Aeroclassics IC A300 in 1:400 scale. Though not AI, she sits with the rest of my AI models - nostalgia perhaps! And the one with the 50th Anniversary titles Gemini Jets Jet Airways Airbus A340-300 VT-JWB Ok, not quite Air India, but AI did lease VT-JWB from Jet Airways for a month to operate BOM-LHR flights And while these have nothing to do with AI, I thought I'd add these pics in here too.

I spotted that bird do the BOM-DXB run on the 7th of March 2008, and a few days later it was out of service. It was like seeing it for the last time before resting away. Its so thrilling watching a/cs taxi around takeoff and land back, but its emotional and crushing to see them waiting for their fate endlessly.. .. but when you see them being recycled for the next generation of a/cs.. it gets a bit halka on the heart.

Their production runs are typically higher and their distribution is wider. Looking forward to your pics though.

It's Boeing 777-200ER VT-AIL from Dragon wongs. Will post a pic soon. Is it the one in the old classic colrs, or the new colors ? If it's the new colors version, could you confirm the name, regn., & raked wingtips. They had a mix up with their latest release where they had VT-ALB named as 'Kalyani'. I believe they later changed the regn. to VT-AIL, but left the raked wingtips as is. So it started off an a LR with a wrong name, & ended up as an ER with raked wingtips.
