Stuart Porteous Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 This would have been finished on Sunday if I'd remembered that it was March on Monday. I suppose a couple of days late is near enough. This is the Heller kit, modified by filling in some of the windows and scribing new cargo doors, with decals by Fineline. The decals are actually for an earlier livery so the "Air Atlantique" titles are a little bit too large, and all the green bits had to be hand painted. Most of the construction time was taken up with masking ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart Porteous Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 (edited) It still needs black walkways adding to the wings, and I forgot the "ATLANTIC" titles on the tail. The fuselage codes should really be black rather than green but that can wait until I find the correct sized letters. Edited March 2, 2005 by Stuart Porteous Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart Porteous Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 (edited) Sorry about the crappy lighting, I can't remember the last time I was actually at home in daylight so this was all a bit of a lash-up with a couple of desk lamps. Thanks to Brady for organising this, and to everyone else involved. I'm not an airliner virgin anymore ! Comments / criticism welcome as usual. Stuart.

Stuart Porteous Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 our GB ain't over yet, we'll keep on going for quite a while still. So feel free to stick around! Of course.

Andy Mullen Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Stuart outstanding finish :blink: BTW I do most of my photography indoors / at night and I use Halogen desk lamps. Two of them would improve your lighting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DC10Oiller Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Nicely done Stuart! If this is an indication of how you build, the BAC1-11 should be quite the looker as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
