revell fokker 100 british airways/tat

[michael301757]

Hi everyone, i recently saw a photo that reminded me that this aircraft wore BA livery back in the mid nineties,as I had one in the cupboard and some spare BA decals in the spares folder I thought it would be an enjoyable little project and so it proved to be.Had to use a bit of modellers license with some items, the badge on the tail fin comes from an airfix 737 and is a little oversize,also door and emergency exit outlines come from a 707 and should be white but are a good match for size, the red striping comes from an extradecal sheet also lettering for TAT logo. overall it was a very enjoyable build.

That's very smart and really suits the BA livery.

Another unusual one for your British Airways fleet, well done , nice to look at. May be you have more active airframes than BA at the moment!

Now there's something you don't see every day! Good use of the spare decal stash.

Did you use xtracolor for the white/grey?

Cheers,

Very nice build in a smart livery for a Fokker 100.

And a good idea with the decals.

 

Fokker 100s are getting rarer sights these days on airports as well as in Revell kit form,so this is a welcome addition here on BM.

Mine should come off production line soon as well,but in Swissair livery

Hi Ian,the white/grey is plastikote gloss white aerosol from hobbycraft decanted to use in airbrush with just a hint of black added to try and tone it down slightly, have to admit i find the debate about BA grey very confusing as when I look at photos it seems more biased towards the white to me, or perhaps its just me and I really do need to go to specsavers.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Cheers Michael.
