RAF Eurofighter Typhoon Revell 1:144
Zulu Hotel Alpha replied to Zulu Hotel Alpha's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Thank you all for your encouraging and positive comments. Adam, you may view the A350 in the link below. -
Last Christmas, Secret Santa at work presented me with this kit. I have never built an airforce fighter jet on this scale. Last time I built a fighter jet I was probably 12-13 years old- so about 45 years ago. Over the last 5 years I have built 3 airliners . So, handling these tiny parts was an issue as puttying, sanding and painting was not easy. As a comparison I have provided photos of the Typhoon with an A320 and A350. Another issue was spending money on buying acrylic paints that will not probably use again and I do not have in my inventory. I decided to buy only Black Silk Matt (Revell Aqua acrylic) , which the main colour on the fuselage. I tried to do some artistic license to mix colour I had to completed the model. Painting was done using a brush. After painting the varish at the end, found that the varnish had become grainy, which did not help the finishing look. Also, the tail had some wapping and i tried steaming and straightening to correct the tail shape. Photos taken using an iPhone.- Overall, not great finish but still enjoyable enough.

JetBlue Airbus A321neo - 1/144 Zvezda
Zulu Hotel Alpha replied to Viking's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Looks fantastic, and Jetblue should name this aircraft 'Viking's Daughter'. Love the colours and the decals with all the details- the model cockpit crew gives a fun element to the build- as long as they are not fighting each other? -
