cuprar Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) As most of you know I love an A380 and I plan on building 4 in this GB and the first one will be an AA bird! I will be using chrome BMF for the fuselage. I also had custom decals made by Mark Borer over in the states and Ray at twosix made my cheat lines for me so a big thank you to both well here are some pics Edited May 8, 2012 by cuprar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev1n Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 this is going to be interesting.....as much as anything as to speculate as to which bits will be airbus grey... at a guess, and a starting point, the fin defo, and the wing root fairings anything else??? Are you going to use AA's airbus A300-600's as a guide or just let the imagination wonder and wander? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev1n Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I had as thought - dont know if this will help with the BMF but anyway; Depending on which bits you paint light grey, spray it the whole thing first then micro mesh it so its ultra smooth very needed coz anything under it will show through BMF then apply the foil. That way you can cut the foil to shapre around your grey areas hth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
