tomprobert Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 I've been busy with my B-29 project but have got a little more done on this SP. The engines have been blended in nicely and now the model has had a partial coat of primer to check for blemishes. So far, so good... Also the decals have arrived from Hawkeye Models in Australia: They look great, and give me the option of building either of Qantas' SPs. I flew on VH-EAB in June 2001 so this is one I'm going to build. Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Looking very good so far Tom, Its going to look fantatstic in that livery. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I prefer the original scheme. but you have yours almost finsihed and I have not started mine so I can't talk! Certainly looks the part at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomprobert Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Just to prove I'm still plodding on with this build... Believe it or not I've had a few days dry enough to get some paint on the mini-jumbo: As usual, I used Halfords' car paints. Finally she's ready for some decals....

tomprobert Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 More progress... decals are on! I've never used any decal sheets from Hawkeye Models before but they were excellent! Here is the SP now: Now it's just a case of waiting for a reasonably mild and dry day (ha ha I hear you say!) to get some laquer on her before adding the finishing touches.

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Wow, where's my kit, can you build another in the old QANTAS scheme for me. I am sure I won't do as good a job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev1n Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 is there something up with the diheral of the wings Tom? or just the lack of legs atm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 It looks better and better Tom! Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomprobert Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 is there something up with the diheral of the wings Tom? or just the lack of legs atm? It sits a little low now because as you say, no gear on yet. When the wing legs and wheels are on that'll be remdied... I hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomprobert Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 I've got the 747SP finished today. All in all this was a straightforward and thoroughly enjoyable project. Decals from Hawkeye were fantastic, as were the Braz RB211 replacement engines. I hope you enjoy... Good luck with the rest of your builds folks... only one month to go!
