Ridibunda Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) So... The project AIRBUS A300-600ST BELUGA that was started in Sep'16 is completed now. Original body: Airbus A300-600ST BELUGA Model: Revell 04206 Scale: 1/144 Aftermarket parts: no Livery: Airbus Beluga first roll-out and flight color scheme It was challenging project, but not all things I kept in mind was realized here. Anyway, to be honest, I like the result . Initially, it was quite old mid-quality Revell kit and ordinary livery in the box (as for me). Of course, white modern Airbus home livery is good but do not expect you'll get bright model on your shelf after completion... Looking for detailed photos of Beluga, I've found some interesting pics of first roll-out and flight and finally decided to make my model with this painting scheme! I've collected almost all photos of Beluga from that time period. At least, all available in inet . It is just 8 pics, +2 videos. That is all I had for start...

Especially I like model from Polish forum: - cargo space - aeronavigation lights - A320 body add-on - landing gears - weathering - etc. Of course, I’ll found something critical to say, but I really like what and how this person from Poznan done. As I can conclude, he is registered here also. @Milczacy, hello! I like your Beluga! My congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
