  1. Hi, As the original MWW (Main Wheel Well) colour on the real a/c is the normal Boeing gray BAC707, I painted the model on the same grey at first. Then on the real a/c must use a corrosion preventive liquid (called CPC) to spray over regularly during maintenance. This liquid in a bottle is like a dark brown, rusty colour. Therefore the result on a real aircraft always depends on the thikness of this layer of fluid and the condition of that exact aircraft. Because this liquid remains slightly sticky all their lifetime, if your aircraft going to be dirty, then the main wheel well also going to be more dark and dirty. All in all, I mixed many of the colours until I've got an affordable result what I see everyday on our aircrafts. And then added lot's of thinned black paint for washing through. The finish is exactly like on our aircraft. So I can recommend you to mix a colour close to the egg yolk, and once you applied, just add very thin black wash over, to imitate the dirt, oily, greasy state. I hope it could help somehow. If you need any detailed photos of a real a/c, let me know and I send them to you.
  2. Due to the cold ambient temp. outside, wasn't really bad. But on the ground! That was a survivor camp challenge during summer. 😛
  3. After many Tu-134s, a Tupolev Tu-154M lined up to the row now. This short lived livery can help me to bring back my memories from the good old days. Pannon Airlines was a Hungarian charter airline founded in 1999. due to the demands of a tour operator, called Jorgos Travel. They operated this only example (HA-LCX s/n: 88A788) from their Budapest base to the different mediterranean holiday destinations until their bankruption in 2002. After they cheased their operation in 2002., the aircraft was sent back to the lessor. Zvezda kit 1/144. + extratech accessories, Perfect Flaps/slats: www.laci-ltd.uk as always, alias Ladislav Hančar, Decals: HAD (www.hadmodels.com) by Szegedi Ferenc + Authentic Airliners.
  4. I already posted here the correct paint colors in an other topic about the same question. I even attached the official paint book of our birds with details. 🙂 Here it is again. Let me know if any further details need.
  5. Yeah, but BPK doesn't offers any 737CL at all. Unfortunately. 😞
  6. In this scale it's absolute stunning!!! I'm also a fan of the weathered birds, so it's an extra point for me. Keep posting for your next works, I'm very interested in. Welcome on board btw!
  7. It's probably already noticed by you, but not to forget that Welsh is a vacuum form kit. Many talented folks here has been made with, but not an easy kit and quite lot of work for correcting. But all in all, that is an available B737 CL kit. I guess, the only one at this moment. AeroModl also planned to make CL series since ages, but as far as I know he still didn't finished yet to release his items. Have a look on his website and drop him an email.
  8. I just being back to this site since a month off and this bird comes into view on the top of the list. It's simple amazing and perfect, clean job and impressing fleet. I really love them all! Congrats for this job!
  9. Although it's probably too late info now, the correct c/s are: I hope it can helps for someone in the future. If any more details needed, pls pm me and I can share.
  10. An old Yakovlev Yak-42 joined to the Aeroflot fleet. Brings back my old memories about an era of the civil aviation. Simple OOB - Eastern Express 1:144 kit. Not the best kit ever so far. But unfortunately there is no other available kit released recently. Rusair's resin kit looks like not exist anymore. 😞
  11. Very impressive and beautiful ladies alongside here. I love them all. Congrats!
  12. Thank you for all of you the kind words! To be honest the perfect and amazing models here in this site always inspiring me to get more and more realistic and precise built. So, I have to say a big thank you for all of you here and everywhere I can see others products... But I guess, this is why this (and other pages as well) site exist at all. @Alex1978 Yeah, I still hear that noise inside and warms me up everytime. Brings back my old memories when I saw them in daily basis and flow with them or worked with them. Neverending love. And the noise yeah... This is a video for their instinctive sounds that can not mixed with any other plane's... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6SHmlSg8NA. My next one in the row would be a Syrian Arab Airlines Tu-134B if I will have time to do. 😛
  13. Nice, beautiful finish on this bird. Respect for this you 've done on it! I've hesitated on a Welsh model close to 2 decades ago to build as at that time there wasn't any other option for that type. But I didn't feel to being brave enough to get suicide react caused by struggling with that kit. So I've never tried since and furtunately now we have more option to go at most of the airliners. For that doors I didn't even realised unless you highlighted you may get a try to use metal parts like the photoetched sheets metal accessories. I always use them and that thin enough to be real (as the real ones are more or less 10-20 mm in total depth, so in our 1:144 scale even less than 0,1mm) and you can easily bend to get any curves in seconds. I 've bought a sheet (around 1 sqfeet) for more or less 2 Euro and takes forever.
  14. Oh yeah. This bird still a lovely bird in all the way and perfectly finished. Like Rupert said above, all of them pushing me to a nostalgia. Love them all!!
  15. A Daghestan Airlines (Авиалинии Дагестана) Tu-134B-3 lined up to the row. I would say now, the dirty dozen. 😛 This livery was on my bucket list since very long time, but this "one time released" and limited edition decal was not available since 2018. Then I was very happy this summer to find the probably only one example remained in a domestic market and get it through Kazahstan. The original aircraft has been released in 1980. as CCCP-65700 and operated in the Latvian OAO based in Riga under Aeroflot c/s. Later in 1992. moved to Latavio/Lat Charter Airlines in Latvia as YL-LBH, and finally moved to the South-East region of Russia in 2002. to Makhackhala (Махачкалa) - Daghestan, where was flown until 2012. This always dirty Tushka (RA-65569) brings back my old memories, and because a Tu-134 in clear state must be fake or unreal, therefore I also added a slight weathering as usual. Kit: Zvezda 1:144 with corrected and replacement nose section from the czech AZmodel kit. (The Zvezda nose and cockpit section shape is unfortunately not correct, especially if you would use the radome nose version) Decals: Ascensio, Revaro. T/E flaps: LACI-ltd.uk as always, alias Ladislav Hančar made from resin. For photo background I used an old poster, and on the last photo there is my Tu-134 fleet still growing. 😛
