Great Lakes B1900?

Liberty has a 1900D kit:

As for decals for Great Lakes, I don't think there are any.

That's fantastic!  If I could fly for a living, I would prefer this type of plane and the routes it covers.  I guess flight simulator will have to suffice. 

I will check around for the model and decals.

I'm a new hire First Officer at Great Lakes Airlines, start training on August 1st. I'm saying Sayonara to flight instructing for my first Airline flying job. I was wondering if someone makes a model of the Beech 1900D (Lakes has the -D model) and decals for Great Lakes. Thanks, and I'm really excited to finally have a real flying job.

As others have said, congrats on the new ride!  That's what a friend of mine did several years ago.  He got his license and started flight instructing to get his hours.  He's now a senior captain for B-747s for Northwest (I think it's NW).  I think his current route is Dallas to Japan a couple of times a month.

Best of luck with the new job..............I envy you.

I asked my IPMS club members, and came up with one, but it's a -C model, and not sure what to do to convert it. I don't think I'd have the time to build any more anyways, I'm going to be busy for the next 6 foreseeable months. Fermis, if you want to chat about flying jobs, let me know. I have a lot of buddies that went to different companies that can give me a scoop. My dad is going through upgrade training to Captain at his cargo company on the 747. If you're a pilot and want to do this sorta thing, let me know.

Can't help you with the model, but congrats on the flying gig! Great Lakes recieved one of my 300 or so resumes. The only company I heard back from was United. "Sorry, we're not hiring at this time", not that I stood a chance there anyway!

No idea on the 1900, but heartiest congratulations on the new gig! At least you'll be able to get all those close-up detail shots, for when you find a kit.
