Some few of us here appreciate the variety and color of airliners, let us see if we can pull a campaign together.
This would be about civilian airliners, no military or governmental subjects, though state owned airlines would certainly be included. These range from the early pioneers
to present day workhorses
Intercontinental wide bodies
to tiny island hoppers

I just looked up Saturn Airways since Ive never heard of them and found they had a bad accident in 1974 where a Lockheed L-100-30 Hercules lost a wing in flight. OUCH!

not heard of that incident. Saturn also flew some DC-7s which were accident prone. I have more DC-7 kits. I dont know of a decal for this aircraft, but I would love to have one to put beside the DC-8.

I've been known to build the odd airliner and some have been very odd indeed

You may remember this one from the Airfix campaign

Yes indeed, I was jealous. I actually found one of those Superscale decal sheets, and an Airfix 737 kit or two, and it has been in the to-do drawer ever since. I think that EE kit has rendered my stash redundant.
