Blacktjet Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) Just starting a scratch build and thought some of you might like to see the step-by-step process. Actually I have an ulterior motive. As I can't get a hold of any plans, I'm using the Revell 1/144 kit as a guide. If anyone can spot any errors along the way, I would be grateful of your comments. Fuselage master. This is a solid former from which I will produce a mould and spring the fuselage halves Edited July 28, 2010 by Blacktjet 2
kev67 Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 You have done a good job so far, but I have heard that Welshmodel are brining out the 146 in 1/72
Blacktjet Posted July 27, 2010 Author Posted July 27, 2010 but I have heard that Welshmodel are brining out the 146 in 1/72 Been on their website for quite a while that one!
stringbag Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 I have some details which may be of use with this one Blackjet. Drop me a line with your e=mail address and I'll get them sorted. Chris.
Blacktjet Posted July 30, 2010 Author Posted July 30, 2010 Check your e-mail Thanks Chris, very helpfull. Now, if anyone has the MAP/Argus scale drawings (or knows where I can get them from), that would help. Flying surfaces should be ready this weekend.
richellis Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 ive got these.. But i need them for my 1/24 build, but if I can get any mesurements you need off them, PM me. The plans are for a 300 srs though but its the same exept a longer fuselage. 1

The plans are for a 300 srs though but its the same exept a longer fuselage. If you can scan the engines, that would help - I'm not convinced the Revell kit engines are 100% accurate
richellis Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 ill have a go over the weekend. A good excuse to dig the model out and do some work to it!
garryrussell Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 The Revell engines wouldn't be accurate as theirs is an RJ-85. Garry
Blacktjet Posted July 31, 2010 Author Posted July 31, 2010 The Revell engines wouldn't be accurate as theirs is an RJ-85.Garry Thanks Garry. Hadn't got round to the engines yet -just had a quick look at the ones in the kit and didn't think they looked right for the CC.2. So the Revell 146-100 STA kit, has the wrong engines to model even this version!
AnonymousAA72 Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) Fantastic! How did you make the solid master former? Edited July 31, 2010 by Bill Clark
Blacktjet Posted July 31, 2010 Author Posted July 31, 2010 Fantastic! How did you make the solid master former? It's wood, plastic card, sprue and milliput. I satrted it about six years ago, so no pictures showing early work. 1
Blacktjet Posted August 1, 2010 Author Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) Cor, can we all have one? It will be available as a commercial kit. Probably Oct/Nov, followed by a 1/48 Dominie T.1 and 125 CC.2. I found a supplier for the old MAP/Argus scale drawings. Anyone interested, here is the Link Edited August 1, 2010 by Blacktjet

Blacktjet Posted August 4, 2010 Author Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) Hi Blacktjet - how do you find myhobbystore for drawings? I am thinking of using them for some projects but don't like buying drawings blind!Looking forward to the Dominie and HS.125! Plans arrived today, Wednesday (ordered Sunday). The only down side was the postage charge of £2.80! Though this price may be the same, for a number of plans ordered at the same time. The plans arrived folded in a polythene A4 envelope, so well protected from the rain but at the price charged, I would have expected the plans rolled in a tube. Edited August 4, 2010 by Blacktjet
coanda Posted August 5, 2010 Posted August 5, 2010 Hi, Blacktjet. Thanks for getting back to me. Were the plans worth buying in terms of content?
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 The Revell engines wouldn't be accurate as theirs is an RJ-85.Garry The Revell kit was actually originally issued as a BAe 146. The RJ85 kit is the same plastic I believe. There was something corrected in the RJ 85 kit but can't recall what it was, perhaps the engines?
PHIL B Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 This Airliner Cafe thread covers corrections REvell mae in their CAe 146 / RJ 85 kits: Linky Phil
Graeme H Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Looking very nice, are you intending to make it a Resin or Vacform kit?
