Airspeed AS57 Ambassador
1:144 Welsh Models
I've always wanted an Ambassador in my airliner collection, it is such a gracefull looking aitcraft. It is harldly likely to ever be issued as an injection moulded kit, so thank goodness Welsh Models have provided a vac-form kit. It is a fair bit of work to cut out and prepare all parts, but it goes together quite well. This one has been on the bench for over 2 years now, mainly because I dithered about what scheme to finish it in. I really wanted to do it in the early BEA scheme but could not track down a decal sheet, and Densil at Welsh Models had sold out. Earlier this year I revived it and got on with painting it in the Dan Air scheme the kit provided decals for, although these are mainly just the titles, logos amd registrations. All the cheat lines you have to paint yourself.
The paint job required before you can start decalling;
'With something else' - a double this time!. It goes well with the Welsh Models HS.748 Budgie;
And I couldn't resist parking these 2 together, for 1 obvious reason;
Thanks for looking,
John
