The MD-80 has not had a lot of love in 400 scale. There have been over 100 made, albeit that isn’t 100 individual liveries and the moulds are all obsolescent or just not very good. In fact, the range of schemes that has been made has been low because there have been multiples of the same scheme quite a bit. There are literally tons of MD-80s that deserve to get made so here in part 1 I take a look at just those from the Americas.
With the new NG MD-80 samples close to ready a wishlist is worthwhile and illustrating how many MD-80 options there are here are 80+ possibilities just from the New World organised as follows:
- American Airlines
- Trans World Airlines
- Delta Air Lines
- Continental, Frontier & New York Air
- Alaska Airlines
- Republic & Northwest
- PSA & USAir
- Other 80s US Airlines
- Other 90s US Airlines
- Argentina & Brasil
- Venezuela
- Colombia
- Central America & Caribbean
- Mexico
American / TWA
Several American schemes have been made but not all and especially not the earliest or Reno Air hybrids:
