Here is my latest update of a classic Airfix airliner, the BAC 1-11 finished to represent Laker’s G-AVBY as she appeared in 1972, a sort of early logojet. Before anyone asks, I have no idea who Lady du Pont was or why she was so desirable although my wife thinks du Pont was a brand of swimwear. Anyway, whatever Bravo Yankee was advertising I think she makes an attractive and unusual subject. (Edit - Thanks to @Dave Swindell for providing correct info about Lady Du Pont. See his post below). The model would have been finished sooner but Covid -19 meant the eye surgery I should have had in March was delayed until August. My perspective was all to pot making close modelling work a difficult chore rather than a relaxing hobby and things like stringing aerial wires were a complete no. Now that I can see properly again Bravo Yankee is finally ready for inspection. I used the replacement resin nose sometimes available from Ray Charles of Two Six Decals. While filling the seam round the replacement nose I also ran a bead of Milliput along the fuselage roof which Airfix have moulded almost flat and sanded it to a more realistic rounded profile. The APU exhaust and RDF fairings were easily made from plastic tube and sheet respectively and the fuel duct to the APU was added from stretched sprue. The wing fences are inaccurately positioned for the production aircraft. I replaced them with brass fences from one of the PE detailing sets which Ray sold a few years ago and which I wish he would re-issue. Before fitting them the Airfix fences were removed and the raised wing detail sanded down and re-scribed. The Airfix landing lights were filled and wingtip lights added from clear sprue in the usual way. The PE set also provided badly needed replacement engine fans as well as aerials and undercarriage doors. Paint is Appliance White and Racking Grey from Halfords with AK Interactive Aluminium and a little Rub’n’Buff on the engines. Decals are a mix - basically an old Flightpath sheet (I had forgotten how much I liked Flightpath decals) with Du Pont titles and logos from Classic Airlines. As always I used Authentic Airliners windows. AA provide the windscreen in four separate sections. I found these fiddly and difficult to align, not helped by a slight asymmetry in the resin nose, and eventually I applied the Flightpath one piece windscreen and overlaid the AA sections which means the cockpit is a little darker than it should be. Thanks for looking and as always constructive criticism is welcome. Dave G .... and finally posing with my other two recent Airfix updates - the Caravelle and the DC-9-30
