Alex KWill gladly follow this - I've been a passenger on this very plane (I-BUSH, "Montegna"), back in 1996... Good luck 👍

Arthur WijnenThanks Alex. Living near Amsterdam airport I've never seen this plane for real. But this A300 is an classic airliner in AZ livrey. Will take Some months to complete this kit. What was your destination when you fles this plane? Tell me more about your experience.

Alex KHi again, Arthur. My final destination, on that trip, was Toulouse, France. At the time, Alitalia had some cheap fares, using Milan as a hub. So, the first "leg" of the journey, i.e. my flight in A.300 I-BUSH, was from Athens/Ellinikon (now closed - and under "urban development"... :/// ) to Milano/Linate. I then boarded Alitalia's "Super 80" (MD-82) I-DAWS, for the flight to Toulouse/Blagnac, via a stop in Lyon/Satolas. First leg on the return trip Toulouse>Lyon>Milan was on MD-82 I-DAWM - but that's another story... and perhaps another model 😉 McDonnell-Douglas MD-82 (Minicraft Model Kits 14480, 1:144) (I mentioned all these details, because I understand you are an Alitalia fan / model collector). Keep up the good work!
