The supplied decals were just unusable, so I contacted Welsh Models who kindly have sent me a spare Hapag Lloyd set of decals, but I was wondering what colour the engines were, as on airliners(dot)net, the colour varies from a dark grey to just plain white, so I was wondering whether anyone could shed any light on this.

Ha ha, I shall fix that, standby for the hash browns (why am I still carrying on with this!)

Oh, that I will have to fix then!

The Boeing 767 has been the workhorse of many an American airline for numerous years now, but I was intrigued at the prospect of an Aeroflot 767, and thus on a recent holiday to the Netherlands, I just had to go to AviationMegastore and pick up a Zvezda kit!
The kit itself, in comparison to other reviews of Zvezda kits I have seen on Britmodeller, is no different. The kit was masterfully created, all the parts beautifully join together and it is a delight to build. This kit was brush painted using a number of different paints - the Aluminium colour of the fuselage being Humbrol 56 enamel, the blue being Revell LH Blue (also an enamel), and the rest being either Revell acrylics or Tamiya, which, contrary to what many people have said, worked wonders when brush painted onto my kit (a miracle!).
There are a few improvements I think I could have made to this kit, but you guys will spot numerous, and please feel free to tell me how to improve, as all advice is always appreciated!

P.S. Advice on how to get better at RFI threads will also be much appreciated!

I've always loved the look of the Egg Plane kits that Hasegawa makes - fun and interesting but still looking (just) like the object in real life. The kit was a cracker to build, apart from the landing gear, which I somehow glued in the wrong way round. "That's why the plane can't sit down on its front wheels" I sadly pondered after constructing it. So, to fix the problem, and to try and make it less of a gaping error (although you guys will DEFINITELY pick up on it), I decided to make it similar to a taking-off diorama. I got a chocolate box, sprayed it grey and brush painted the runway markings on. The masking tape which I used left a substantial ridge, it inadvertently left a rather weathered looking runway, which I thought to enhance with dry brushing Humbrol 33 (Black). It was a really good kit to build and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking of getting one.
All comments and criticisms of my many mistakes are much appreciated.

By the looks of Revell (US)' website, it seems we will get neither A320 or A321 this year, as one can see in the link below.
Why Revell? Why do we have to wait till 2019?

Thanks ALL for the help, but, just to clarify, when sanding, I just rub the fuselage against some sandpaper?
Also, as when cutting the fuselage, I accidentally cut into the plastic a bit meaning that the underside of the fuselage is not straight, is there any way I can fix this?
Again, thank you SO much for the help

Thanks SO much guys for the help, really cleared it up. I would love to buy a DACO 737 kit, but unfortunately, my tight budget restricts me
But seriously, thank you so much, all help appreciated.

Thanks for the prompt reply
May I ask, which bits require sanding, as the small sticky out things on the model were deliberately put as strips to help join the fuselages together. I have since removed these as upon dry fitting the fuselage, it is evident they hamper the fit more than they aid it. Thus, I was wondering whether it is these you are talking about, or the fuselage in general, and in particular, which bits of the fuselage? I have also sanded the edges of the fuselage quite a lot, but I don't know whether this is enough.
And furthermore, which of the metal parts would be the fuselage bays (bad pic, sorry), as I have literally no clue what the instructions are on about.
Kind Regards

Hi all
Please feel free to move this wherever you want as I have no clue where to put it!
I was building a Welsh Models Boeing 737-4Q8 in Alaskan colours when my progress ground to a halt as I did not have a clue what the instructions meant. The instructions said to 'superglue the metal undercarriage bays into place and glue the nosewheel bays to one half of the fuselage'. From the metal parts I have (picture will be given below), I have no clue which bits I am meant to glue onto the kit. Furthermore, as can possibly be seen from the pictures, when cutting out the fuselage and trimming it, my cutting went slightly wonky, and so is the only way to fix this with filler after the fuselage has been assembled. Any light on this instructions fiasco would be VERY greatly appreciated as I am completely dumbfounded as to what to do.
Kind Regards and hoping for some salvation!

P.S- How do you attach saved images on a thread, all I can find is the Copy and Paste?

Thanks for the link, I can’t really add panel lines since I do not have a scriber, but I’ll be sure to keep that in mind.

One other thing - I saw Hannants giving a good deal on two kits, the E190 in Air Canada colours and the F100 in Austrian, both by Welsh models. May anyone shed any light on either kit as I don't really have any experience with vac-form, but I want to know which one would (in one's humble opinion) be the better kit.

Thanks, I’ll be sure to check him out!

Dear all, does anyone have any experience with the Heller DC10 kit, and would be willing to comment on the kit. Furthermore, does anyone know any aftermarket decals for this kit, or do you just have to buy a 1 144 decal set and hope for the best?
All replies appreciated

Many thanks for taking the time to post the links, they are much appreciated! If I do build the kit, I’ll be sure to post a WIP thread of it
Kind Regards

Hello all
Has anyone had any experience with this kit as I am looking to buy it, but there is very little information on the internet. All information, including build quality and what is inside would be greatly aporeciated

Dear all
I have got a bottle of Humbrol White Enamel Wash, and I would much appreciate it if anyone could answer these two questions:
1) What can you actually do with white wash
2) Can I use it in any way on an airport runway diorama which I am doing?
All replies much appreciated.

Dear All
I am not sure whether this is in the appropriate selection so feel free to move if it is in the wrong section.
As my Hasegawa F/A-18 Blue Angels Hornet (Egg Plane) just cannot sit on its gear, I felt it needed a runway base so that I could create some sort of 'taking-off' diorama (first time I have ever even thought of doing this). I had an old cardboard 15*0.5*10 box which I stuck the ends together. My question is, from here, what do I need to do to make this into some sort of runway display base upon which I can put my Egg Plane. All replies and advice is greatly appreciated (as you can probably tell, I know very little about dioramas)

Yeah, you are spot on, I’ll just build the Alaskan 734 as is, thanks!
But seriously, thank you so much, all help appreciated.

You are right! Thanks for finding such great photos, really does seem obviously grey now! I shall tr6 and paint the engines like I did the wings- mixing revell light grey and normal gray.
Thanks a million
