Hi Everyone, First off a small introduction, as I'm new here on the forum. I'm a 32 years old (as of next week) Dutch entrepeneur with passion for passenger aircraft. I only build in 1:144 scale and my goal is to have at least one model of every type of civil aircraft that has room for at least 12 passengers and has a closed cockpit. Usually I build around 8 models per year, but since the birth of my son last year I don't have as much time as I used to obviously . I'm usually active on the Dutch Modelbrouwers.nl forum or the Airlinercafe, but I was directed here by a member (Turbofan) to go and check this site out. With that out of the way I'm pleased to show you my latest build, which is the Roden Vickers VC-10 in the colours of East-African. Build pretty much out of the box, except for the four wing fences that where missing, that I added from styrene. I also sharpened the tailcone as it is a little too blunt. The kit is really good, but I found the decals not too great. The cheatlines don't extend onto the rudder for example. After market decals would probably have been better in retrospect. The window decals are from Authentic Airliners (BAC-1-11). The "photo-realistic" cockpit decal is home made by myself (which I have made for a lot of other builds as well, such as my recent Trident model) Anyway, enough talk. On with the pictures! I'm aware that in the last picture the hind wheels aren't completely touching the ground. That has since been corrected. Thanks to Turbofan for some building tips. My next project will be an A330-300 in KLM colours that has long been overdue. If you guys like I can make a WIP thread out of it. Cheers!
