gistsc Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Just a quick OOB. I have not built an airliner in a long time, and now I remember why. I give props to all you guys who do airliners, they are a real pain to paint. Anyways, sorry for the crappy pix too. 2015-11-21 00.10.03 by gistsc, on Flickr2015-11-21 00.09.46 by gistsc, on Flickr2015-11-21 00.09.33 by gistsc, on Flickr2015-11-21 00.09.23 by gistsc, on 2015-11-21 00.09.11 by gistsc, on 2015-11-19 20.20.16 by gistsc, on Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lenny Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Very cool paint scheme. I just finished the 800F. Loved the kit found the fan blades to be a bit of a pain. Lots of flash on mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Fine job there Scott First one in this scheme I have seen built up. The finish on it is great. Did you use kit or aftermarket decals? Edited January 8, 2016 by Trojan Thunder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gistsc Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Trojan, they are aftermarket. Draw Decals set 44s-747-50f. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
clipper1960 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Nice built. Which colour did you use for the upper wings? It's not White. Greetings from Germany Manfred Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrblujet Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Nice job on the model. The paint job looks real good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gistsc Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Nice built. Which colour did you use for the upper wings? It's not White. Greetings from Germany Manfred Totally went with white. Just using my own eyes and reference photos. Being white or very light gray, its almost impossible to do from a photo. Would love to see one in person, just to confirm.

Being white or very light gray, its almost impossible to do from a photo. Would love to see one in person, just to confirm. LH paint is simple. White on all parts above the demarcation line, and grey on those parts below. So the wing tops would be white, bottoms grey. The "greyish" appearance of the wing top in photos is probably caused by reflection of blue (grey) sky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trojan Thunder Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Yes there is a Lufthansa Grey, I did read somewhere that someone had found an FS equivalent. Can't recall the number at the moment but will need it for a couple of my Lufthansa builds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Lufthansa's proprietary grey is BAC 708. I've got an actual paint sample of it. It's in the neighborhood of a couple of FS595 colors, but it's not a match to any of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
