michael301757 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Hi everyone,this was a very enjoyable build with the livery cobbled together from a number of different sources,majority of decals come from a Skyline detail set,the BA markings and titles come from a 737 and the registration letters from an Airtours A321. the red and blue ribbons are a little oversize for a 146 but i can live with that.

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Nice work Michael, the 146 looks very nice BA markings. You've done a great job on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbofan Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Ooh, I like that Michael! Fantastic job, very unusual, never seen one modelled before. I wonder why they didn't paint the engines blue? Cheers, Ian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Very nice! The decals certainly don't look "cobbled together"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 One of my favourite more "modern" airliners - although it's not that modern really. Very nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindan Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Well done again with this somewhat rare bird. Good work on the hand painted fin markings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodadriver Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Very nice indeed. The Revell Avro is a lovely little kit and I hope it will come back on the market one day. Just out of interest why didn't you use the F-DCAL decals? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to admit I didnt realise any decals were available for this subject but never mind as it was enjoyable to do which is the most important thing. Cheers Michael.

Cheers Michael. Absolutely! If you ever think of building another Avro, F-DCAL have some nice schemes including two variants of Manx and several BA World Images. I built "Benyhone" a few years ago although unfortunately the white enamel paint has yellowed a bit and the model really needs to be refurbished or replaced.

Yes thanks for letting me know,I have just checked the fdcal website and there is certainly some nice things on there particuarly the Manx scheme,as i have another 146 in the cupboard, watch this space as they say.

Alex1978 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 A very beautiful Avro.The BA scheme really suits that plane And its nice to see one build up. It just happens that on August 20,Swiss International Airlines will make a farewell flight with their last Avro RJ100 and I was lucky to get a seat on that flight. Swiss has replaced their whole fleet with the new Bombardier CS100 and -300,so these airliners will become a rare sight at our airports... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
