Hello All, I have been meaning to build this favorite aircraft in this particular Indian Airlines marking for a very long time. This scheme brings a lot of childhood memories from the 80s in India . Chose the registration of the aircraft which had to do an emergency landing in a dried lake bed back in 1993 with out any fatalities. Aircraft was written off I think. See story here. https://medium.com/@Storiesfromindianaviation/when-an-a300-landed-on-a-dry-lake-9371df8b56f9 Kit is a Skyline Model. Ok kit with raised panel lines with lots of flash. Scale:1/144 Indian Airlines decals from Joydecals Paints: Mr.color , Alclad, AK xtreme metal The only modification I did was scratch building the wing fence with styrene. No weathering was done I think it turned out ok.What do you guys think? Regards Vivek Now to the pictures.

Hasegawas LoveLiner Series was quite popular back in the 80s and 90s and they still are today. Sadly Hasegawa has limited their range significantly with only a few airliners remain. The older ones,such as the Airbus A300 have become collector's items and some LL200 airliners change hands a rather silly prices. My stash of Hasegawa airliners grew a lot when I was able to obtain many of those from a colletor who was selling his stocks. Among those kits were a bigger number of A300s,two of which came now off the assambly line. The Thai Airways version is straight out of the box while for the Air Jamaica version I used the excellent decal set from Liveries Unlimited.The coroguard panels are from Liveries Unlimited as well. I had this sheet for many years,but I was never brave enough to use them.I was always unsure if these decals would conform without issues around all curves on the model. But to my surprise they worked superbly.Except the yellow roof,all other colors are decals The builds,like with all Hasegawa airliners,is straight forward without issues.They are nice build for in-between. Hope you like 'em

This was a refurbish project of an old A300 build. I decided to update the model since the Airfix kit missed a few A300 features. I started with this: As it was finished about 15 years ago How it was before the restoration Rubbed it back with the associated voluntary disassembly Started a repaint Scratched up some missing parts Modified the engines Added some paint and decals.. The decals are from an A310 Flying Colours sheet. Due to a deadline (today) I used A310 registrations instead of mucking around with making up A300F4 regos.
