BOEING VC-32A 1:144 by MINICRAFT


Recommended Posts

Hi All. Hallo from Ukraine. 

 

One of  exhibits and one of works in 1: 144, that I did in 2016 - it BOEING VC-32A.

 

VC - 32A is a military passenger transportation version of the Boeing 757 for the USAF. 

 

One of preferred my producers - Minicraft.

Interesting airplane and most optimal to my mind scale.

 

Total utilized man/hrs = 178 (during 1,5 months).

 

Paint: Humbrol, Pactra (acrylic).

 

Thank You.

 

Happy New Year!!!

That's the kiddie. It's been built for ages but just needs painting. It's going to be interesting with the masking etc as it's tiny.

Very nice Ozzyman! :goodjob:  :thumbsup: 

 

I have this kit, but plan to build with a civilian scheme. And pleased to see it looks like a Boeing 757, despite lots of criticism of this kit - did you make any modifications? 

 

Darren

Hi, Darren. This kit is absolutely normal (satis). Strong style, easy (simply) detailed. If You need to assembly in B-757 (original civil aviation airliner version), please check external scheme component location as:

-       APU inlet door;

-       Antennas location;

-       Landing gear;

-       Front window wipers;

-       Engine exhaust;

-       External nav&position lights;

-       Lower&upper beacons…

For accurate building, all of items must be done. Painting similarly is very important. I like a civil aviation modification of B-757 and acceptable possibilities of MINICRAFT 1:144 kit.

Very good VC-32 thanks for sharing with us.

I've never actually seen one completed thus, but did have that kit.  I completed mine as this Thomas Cook airliner

Wrong engines, I know - but never spotted by cabin crew that I showed the photos to.

 

I built the Rolls-Royce engined version as Iron Maiden

I have lots of speed tape so I may give it a go.

 

Speed pape has one important fault. Material is very soft and subject to external influences: dents, scratches...
