Sarcococca Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Wow! It seems it is a huge model? What scale it is? Sry, but I`m not close with airliners, but this one is unbelieveable nice. Smooth finish and custom made decals, great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Nice one Rich, looks like a real monster of a kit. Your decals look brilliant. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1978 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Cool build there. The Etihad livery is very special and your decals look splendid. What colour did you use for the fuselage ? I recently bought the Revell A320 in Etihad livery and the constructions give only a mixture of 3 colours as guide. I hoped to find a colour that comes as close as possible to the real one instead of using the infamous Revell receipe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon382 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 That looks great! Excellent finish. These monsters regularly pass over my house so of great interest to me, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICHW Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 Fantastic work, she looks amazing!! How was the kit? The Kit seemed ok to me you just have to watch the revell instructions as the show the landing gear doors on the 6 wheel landing gear in the wrong position when the gear is down , this kit i used the old Emirates issue one of the first A380 kits issued quite a few years back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the newer boxing in the Airbus house colours but not actually checked to see if the instructions have been updated! I want to do the Emirates scheme and another user on here very kindly sent me the decals. Hoping to get cracking on this over the summer, if it turns out half as good as yours I'll be delighted!

lunch box Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Nice work Richard, I got only one question. Do you use a full tin Humbrol 41 and how many Humbrol 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHW Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 i did this before the Revell mix came out ( i have tried the Revell mix and it looks prety close to what i got ) , i did use Humbrol 41 and i mixed it with a sandy colour i will have to check on the revell Number then overcoated it with Xtra color X369 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
