It seems I finally found a perfect place for photo sessions Dragon "cutaway" kit with TwoSix decals. Mostly out of the box

Hi all This rolled off the production line today. Its a rebuild. I built it in DHL Colors about 3 years back, i posted it on her and a lot of people probably cried! I stripped the paint off and the glue, it then sat untouched for a couple months. I rebuilt it early last year, it isnt my best, but its been sitting on the shelf of desper ever since. I decided it waas time to get it finished, so i looked for a scheme i liked, saw the two six one and ordered away, today the decals arrived. On the aircraft straight away, couldnt resist. Not my best, but im happy with it. Thanks Enjoy Thanks

This one is really a joint effort. I bought the decals to add to my collection of SAS machines, thinking it wouldn't be too difficult to track down an Airfix Caravelle to put them on. .......well it was. Happily the Britmodeller site came to my rescue in the form of Martin Hale who generously donated his Caravelle project to me. Martin had assembled the fuselage and wings, and done some rescribing but not yet attached them together or put any paint on. I completed the assembly, extended the engines instead of using the kit supplied exhauasts, and filled in the cabin windows with cyano. I kept the clear cockpit glass. Lots of sanding and smoothing and she was ready for priming & painting. All this was done before Christmas 2012, when I put the Alclad on the lower fuselage. Guess what, it looked like it had been pebble dashed around the main undercarriage area Drat!. I then stripped the whole thing back to bare plastic and started again, which is why it has taken until now. I had a number of irritating minor problems along the way, such as pulling the cockpit glass out when removing masking tape, and making replacement main gear doors from plasticard, painting them and then losing one. You know the sort of thing. I thought the kit wheels looked a bit too skinny so Britmodeller to the rescue again, Mr Stringbag kindly donated a set of plastic wheels from his Tu-134 kit as it also contained resin replacements. They matched the Airfix wheel diameters perfectly, but have a bit more body. Decals from Two Six were superb as usual, a real pleasure to use. I chose LN-KLI 'Einar Viking' as I have an uncle called Einar! Anyway trials & tribulations over, she is finished. Special thanks to Martin for his generousity in making this project possible I can never resist a two ship pairing; Thanks for looking John
