Greetings all,
Finally got this off the shelf of doom after languishing for a couple of years. I had lost interest in finishing it as it wasn’t turning out as good as I hoped, however it doesn’t look too bad in the photos so now more pleased than I expected I would be. This is the first in what I naively aspire to be a build series of almost the entire Delta Airlines fleet.
This is the 1/144 Welsh Models vacform Lockheed TriStar 385-200, originally with Saudia Airlines decals, for which I substituted the excellent TwoSix Decals Delta Airlines decals. In fact the kit was originally eBayed by Ray of Twosix Decals.
As a vacform, everything seemed to take forever. The nose gear bay needs to be cut out and built from scratch, pleased I got aircraft level! Painted with Zero Paints white and Alclad Aluminium/Steel/Jet Exhaust. Varnished with Alclad Aqua Gloss.
