Canalguna Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Hello again everybody. Revell kit + Nazca decals. White automotive paint, Alclad for the engines. My father flew this one, LanChile only had three of them and one was lost in 1991 in a runway overrun accident in Puerto Williams, Chile (Patagonia). 20 passengers died. It was an aircraft definitely ahead of its time, bringing by then unkown low-noise levels to air travel down here in south america. It performed extremely well in short runways in spite of having no thrust reversers as well. Thanks for looking 16
MikeW Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Another superb build - and I definitely enjoy your really subtle weathering. Those aircraft were definitely a lot roomier inside than one would expect, looking at them from the outside - always a comfortable ride. Cheers, Mike 1
Head in the clouds. Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Love the build and the plane in real life, the way you display it rounds it off nicely. 1
Turbofan Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Beautiful build, lovely smooth finish on the fuselage and superb detail and weathering on the wings and engines! I really must dig mine out of the stash and finish one off! Is the base from Nazca too? Ian 1
stringbag Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Very nicely done all round Thanks for posting. Chris. 1
mcdonnell Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Hello,Canalguna - Very well done on a splendid looking build of your '146'.I admire the level of finish achieved,the choice of livery and the way the model is displayed.Excellent.All the best,Paul. 1
mitchem Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Nearly missed this one. Great model and base. Thanks for sharing. :thumbsup2: 1
Gimme Shelter Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 I missed this one too - a beautifully presented diorama. I love the taxi off from the runway pose. The actual model is very nicely presented - and nice to see such a high influx of civils into this part of the forum from the likes of yourself 1
Skodadriver Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Brilliant build of one of my favourite airliner kits. Love the weathering. 1
Alex1978 Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Excellent build and a cracking scheme.If I ever learn the technic of weathering,if only half as good as yours,I would be happy Top work 1
Canalguna Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 I am really impressed by your comments and thankful too. This is probably my favourite airliner and livery as well, and my sincere thanks to Gaston @ Nazca for developing these decals (to Ray @26decals too, great ones). The base is simply a photo frame with a printed runway on it (you can find them on a Google images search), glad to know it works. About weathering, it is hardly done at all in this scale; a subtle selective light gray panel wash over white, and a light brown when over grey. Some small oil leaks and streaks can be easily made with a fine brown pencil.
Gimme Shelter Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I'll drop in a big thumbs up to Ray at 26 decals myself here too - he's got me out of a few tight spots before at no extra cost when I've messed up and torn some BA tail fin logos, and he let me have his trial set of BA Chatham 757 decals prior to general release too. to Ray, and a for Gaston too ! 1
Viking Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Loevly little 146, and I like the idae for the base too. Cheers John 1
