I haven’t built a airliner in some time .I received this form Hannants last week.
I will start it with in the next few days alittle break from the military stuff.
I will be following.
Me too. Cool!
I had a vac model once, but I was discouraged by the quality and sold it unbuilt.
Roden is producing some good airliner kits.
That’s a sleek looking airplane. And BOAC livery looks good on everything!
Me too! Please post early a quick review of the kit- I have found the quality of Roden airliners varies. Last one I built, the B307, was great!
its been on my bucket list for a while. The kit has some nice pannel lines. The plastic is soft , i did some test fitting the flash (theres quite a bit) cut off easy. I hope its not disappointing… pics to follow.
Oh Nice;
I’ll be following this.
test fit wings and stabilzers some clean up with #0000 steel wool.
Once again proving Morrison’s Third Law of Modeling:
“No matter the size of the workbench, the available modeling area will always be exactly two square feet”.
Nice work.
yeah. I like to have every thing in reach untill I need to change color paint.
Looking good!
It looks like an airliner already, Nick!
B.O.A.C. Wow, talk about a blast from the past.
Yeah, I noticed that too. Their VC-10 has very fine detail all over the place, while the C-141 looks like the old Aurora kit! Okay the Starlifter is not an airliner, but it is the same scale, so I was expecting the same level of detail.
many thanks gents… progress has been very slow, but the latest pics.
lower part of fuselage painted and most of the decal work done. Time for tamiya gloss clear and some weathering…
Oh My !
Now those are some fine looking Decals on there. That’s always been my weak point.
TB. thank you . The decals are from Boa decals from the Czech Republic. These decals are very good but not for the inexperienced . They do go on nicely and works very well with micro set/sol. I was sweating bullets when applying the red and blue trim !
What a beauty! Comming along very nicely.
John. Thankyou I sealed decals with Tamiya clear gloss and drying time.
Neat!
