I still like the BUA and BAF liveries as they sit nice on the 170 however they all look great I do like that Sabena one reminds of the airfix kit I one made, however this one looks correct :lol:

Mate, I know that feeling well. Keep going though, the payoff will be well worth it.

Is that the aircraft we used to call the Bristol "frightner" :flying: The one the AAF flew out of Singapore in the late 60s to Vietnam, Butterworth and Hongkong (and elsewhere I guess but they were the only destinations I went to in it)
