Etihad F1 A340-600 conversion +++FINISHED+++


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I've had this conversion set for a while now and I was going to start it next week but after seeing Mr Probert has gone and got the same kits I thought about starting today after work and I have done. I am not using the Virgin Atlantic decals on this build because I got myself the Gio decals Etihad formula 1 sheet. I have followed the paperwork as to where to cut the fuselage.

Had the hump tonight big time, my 8 month old son pulled it of the table when he was in his high chair so I've had to redo the back end. It was total FCUKed!!!! I cut the back end of my old A330 instead cutting up another kit!

In a while I will get the filler out and glue on the wings and tail and I hope to get this in primer tomorrow if the weather is ok

Size difference A340-600 and A330-300, the 300 is my Air Asia Raiders bird. Been busy sanding, filling, sanding ect so tomorrow I'll give her another sand and stick the tail on then get her in primer.

Started to get it in primer but it P+*=SS DOWN so I got the joins in primer. Then see loads of little indents so out came the filler again. The tail is on and filler stuck to that.

I've managed to get the fuselage all done today. Some tiny marks I have to sort and I now have to paint the check on the rear end because the decal is for a 300 tail and the 600 is a lot bigger :( so lots of masking it is and more White paint.

Well here she is
