Beautiful! And I mean both the modeling and the plane, British airliners are all very...majestic.

B1-B Bone Lancer - 1/48 Revell - Finish Line
POTKC replied to rom1's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Beautiful work...you have no idea how much I regret not buying this kit when I saw it in a museum souvenir shop last year... -
I masked the windows from the outside with 5 centimeter masking tape and filled them from the inside with Tamiya White Putty. This was my first time using putty or Revell 'Painta Clean' paint and putty dissolving stuff, so the puttying was not very neat and I managed to get putty off the spatula but onto my hands while cleaning it, however most of it is gone now. Despite all the battling with a spatula, I think (and really really hope) the windows will come out fine. Anyway, cue the pictures:

Thank you everyone for the attention! I never expected my first ever thread to go 'HOT', and all I've done is paint the nose gear bay! Anyway, this evening I will start filling the windows.

I just read through the whole thread and...wow. That is all I can say. Your JPs are beautiful!!!

Right, well, I've painted the tiny details in the nose gear bay, and it took a lot more effort than it should have. The paint pot refused to open for about five minutes and then suddenly blew open, showering myself and my immediate surroundings with it's contents. I manage to get the paint off my floor, table and watch but my shirt is now permanently redecorated. After cleaning everything up I painted the grand total of five drops of paint into the gear bay. Sigh.

Thank you everyone for the advice!

Thanks Skodadriver, I already bookmarked that thread. OK, I'll fill the windows then. Hopefully will get some time to work on this today, if not, then tomorrow.

Thanks!!! I've painted the inside of the nose gear bay Revell 91 'Steel, Metallic' and when it dries I will paint the little hydraulic lines (?) in there with Revell 361 'Light Grey, Silky-Matt'. Now, I need some advice. Should I paint over the transparent canopy, fill the windows and then use the provided decals or keep everything as the instructions say? The problem is, I am certain that I will not be able to paint around the cockpit windows properly so I am leaning towards the decal option on that front, but what about the windows?

This is my first WIP post here on Britmodeller, and the second model I am building. I have decided that I will be building D-ABBG, an Airberlin 737-86J, serial number 32918. It is currently in storage and has been re-registered as SU-TMG, ready to be delivered to a new Egyptian airline, FlyEgypt, also known as T1 Airlines. Anyway, here are what I have found (while lurking on Britmodeller without an account) to be the normal 'introduction images' (sorry for the size): The box is new and shiny as I bought this kit in Vienna just a few weeks ago and it has not had time to become bent and ruined. Three sprues, two with the fuselage and other parts and one with aerodynamic bits, plus a clear sprue with the canopy and landing lights. Everything is moulded very very well, lots of beautiful detail and there is no warping (expectable since the kit is so new).
