cuprar Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hi all I've had the idea for a long time now about building another A380 but wanted something different so what could be different ??? Last year Bruce Dickinson wanted a new aircraft to replace the old tired Boeing 757. He wanted longer range with a bigger capacity so he placed an order with Airbus for the mighty A380. Well in spring 2014 the aircraft was going though the production and she is almost ready........ Hope you enjoy. The Kit is Revell's 1/144 and decals are custom made by Richard Warcup 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuprar Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Just a little update, engines were primed first thing this morning and let out to dry in the garden by the sun. They have since had about 5 dust shots of appliance white and will show the pic of this later but here are the engines in primer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
