14505.pct EASTERN 757-200 The "Great Silver Fleet" took advantage of the appearance of their new all-metal airliners in the 1930s. In the mid-sixties, Eastern's planes were white and displayed a three-tone stripe extending along the fuselage and sweeping up the tail, looking like a gigantic hockey stick. Upon taking delivery of their new 757 jetliners, they reverted back to the natural metal finish made popular by their old slogan. #14505 -1/144 Scale $26.99

Because of their lighthearted attitude, PSA was a popular airline.#14494 1/144 Scale $20.99
14495.pct DELTA 777-200 Delta was the fourth major American airline to order the Triple Seven. This model is decorated with the airline's colorful modern, scarf-like livery flowing up the tail.

The decal markings are for Mainliner Hawaii from the United route to the islands. #14501 -1/144 $20.99

The decals have the markings for an American DST and a DC-3. #14490 1/144 $18.99
14491.pct EASTERN SUPER CONNIE The marking on this kit is probably the best-known livery of Eastern Great Silver Fleet.
