I have been doing this model for quite a long time just recently i have got quite a bit done , i have made the bomb bay area myself ( i will post close up picture of the build when i get them off the other hard dirve) , to make it more real i used the freightdog models Olympus 202 jet pipes , i also added some bits of thin wire in the wheel wells to simulate the looms pilots in and painted Airfix Avro Vulcan XH558 by Richard Warcup, on Flickr Original jet pipes cut off and freight dog ones added Airfix Avro Vulcan XH558 by Richard Warcup, on Flickr had to use the piece of plastic to push the fuselage together , (not airfix mould it was due to me making the bomb bay area a little too deep) Airfix Avro Vulcan XH558 by Richard Warcup, on Flickr left wing clamped and ready to glue on Airfix Avro Vulcan XH558 by Richard Warcup, on Flickr a small amount of filling and both wings on Airfix Avro Vulcan XH558 by Richard Warcup, on Flickr A better view of the bomb bay Airfix Avro Vulcan XH558 by Richard Warcup, on Flickr I did scribe the panel lines more to follow Richard

the model looks great steve glad to see you got good results with the decals Richard

Hi I do have the standard Ryanair 737-800 sheet i can do you custom registrations Richard

with the mixing i found its just a matter of mixing it untill you are happy with the colour it took me quite a while to get it looking ok

Hi I looked at 41 gloss at first then found it looked too light i ended up mixing 41 with a darker sand colour i think it was Humbrol (7) ( only a bit) , The Revell mix does mix quite well i did try it then overcoated it with Xtra Colour pearlcent MICA coat that is available from Hannants heres a picture of my finished A380

keep you eye on this guys ebay page he seems to do the old Brasil decals sheets and sometimes gets some of the Gio decal sheets he does have 100% feedback http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/kosciuv?_trksid=p2053788.m1543.l2754 Richard

what kind of scriber do you use for the panel line as i am thinking of doing mine

If you are following the airfix paint guide for XH558 they have the grey down as dark sea grey , when i was over at Doncaster airport the other week at the engine run up i asked what colours they used on XH558 they contacted the guy who paints her , he said Dark Green and Medium Sea Grey

are they the freightdog models 202 jet pipes

Hi Richard Do you have any decals for the 757-200 in the silver livery as mine needssome new decals on it the old ones are starting to peel off Richard

i did this before the Revell mix came out ( i have tried the Revell mix and it looks prety close to what i got ) , i did use Humbrol 41 and i mixed it with a sandy colour i will have to check on the revell Number then overcoated it with Xtra color X369
