wallyinoz Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 When I saw a picture of UR-CKL of "CAVOK" air I just had to build one, I bought a Roden 1/72 kit at Duxford last year for this project. I hope to finish this before I leave for the UK again in 3 weeks. I designed the required decals and because white is required I am getting them printed for me by "DEKLS" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Lovely looking scheme Wally I have AN12 in the stash and am still not sure of the livery I will put on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britman Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 That looks brilliant Wally. These used to come to my local airfield Manston before they closed it,so I look forward to your finished model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 That's lovely looking and different from the standard military schemes. We sometimes have similarly painted An-12s fly into our local airport from Ruby Star of Belarus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyingdutchman Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 That's an eye catching AN-12! I've seen this one IRL a few times. I love the roar of the engines. How is the Roden kit? Evert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Swindell Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Well there's a coincidence Wally, I've just done a set of decals for a mate of mine for the same aircraft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Nice. I love the AN-12 and have one in the queue, although mine will end up as Indian. Once I have decided where it will finally live I'll start it Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) Hello Wally, This model is not to be missed. Stunning paint job on this Russian workhorse. I have seen these (Russian Flagged) aircraft in Northern Kenya. They were used for food supply drops in Southern Sudan. Very impressive to see them "start-up" Long procedure, accompanied by lots of noise. Regards, Orion / The Netherlands.

How is the Roden kit? Evert Hello evert, this is my third Roden kit, I have built the 1/48 Turbo Porter and the T-28 Trojan, the AN12 is the nicest and goes together pretty well, the engine nacelle to wing interface is the only problematic area 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you print the "white" bits? cheers wal Hi Wal The orange & yellow is laser printed, the black & white (with white undercoats for the orange & yellow) is printed on my Oki (Alps) printer. I use spot colour printing on the Oki, so the artwork is black whichever colour is being printed. The image I posted is a low res jpeg from coreldraw vector artwork, so the decal printout is much sharper than the image. I stick to modelling G- plate civil stuff in 1/144, but I do enjoy checking out your custom civil models when you post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janneman36 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 It looks already great, really good work on the paint job Saw those a few times during my spotting trips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Very nice work, really does look the part in that scheme! We had in at work a while back to pick up a spare engine, hadn't realised that there was 72nd kit of a 12, will have to invest now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyinoz Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 This has been my latest project I have been working on and off for the last coupla months.. Because I required quite a bit of white decalage I got my designs printed by "Dekls" at a very reasonable cost, I need to re-do the decals especially around the emergency exits as the carrier film is way too noticeable (two layers of decal paper white underneath and yellow on top) I also need to put aerials and wires as well as clean and tidy up.. I dont know if I will have time to do this before I leave for the UK in a few days Duxford Air Show next weekend..Whoo Hoo! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
