BOAC CUNARD Super VC10


Recommended Posts

Thought it about time I put these up before I forget. basically the Roden kit with 26 Decals.  Only finished about 3 weeks ago.   First couple pics shown without BOAC titles as very temporarily I opted to depict one of the Supers that was kept back with Vickers/BAC for tests. It flew in the main livery but without the company titles. But it did have some photographic sighting markings applied and seeing as I don't know the colours I left them off. However I later carried on and applied the reg and full BOAC Cunard titles.

A Super Super! Definitely prefer it with titles!

I've got one of these nearing completion at the moment, it's a lovely model.

Those tailplanes are very fragile aren't they, I damaged mine too!

Did you forget the aerials and other sticky out bits?

Cheers,

Ian

Hi.You noticed the tailplane tip damage then! Yes it is a bit delcate. Re the antenna etc, I di leave them off as I feared The paint would get damaged and also most likely all get knocked off. Also I feel they are a tad oversize anyway.

 

Meanwhile thanks all for comments and looking in. Any comments still welcome.

That's a lovely looking result Paul, and this scheme just sets it off nicely.  :thumbsup:

 

 I remember many a Saturday spent standing on the International Pier at Ringway watching these and B707's roll out. IIRC the B707 left at around 11:00am with the SVC10 leaving about 1hr later. The airport seemed to quieten down for a while after that before the afternoon flights started to arrive/depart.

Excellent Paul. Great era, even greater 'plane  !

BTW..Supers in BOAC Cunard service (65-66 ) used  or had 4 reversers fitted. If they're  decals, easy to do.

 

well done, thanks for showing.
