Dereknf Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Another pair of Russian airliners, both by Zvezda Both kits were relatively easy builds but as always, the cabin and flight deck glazing is an issue. For the Tu134 I tried masking the windows but it didn't really work. For the Tu154 I just sprayed the white all over and used the window decals. The landing gear on both kits is very fine and a little fiddly in this scale with the added bonus of lots of wheels to paint.The Tu134 is finished in the kit decals which were surprisingly good. The Tu154 is finished the Slovakian government markings with decals from BOA decals.The Tu-134A The Tu-154M The two together. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewP Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) Beautiful! They look amazing. Lovely choice of airlines for both. These old Russian jets have always fascinated me. You really did them justice. Great work! All the best, Drew Edited June 20, 2016 by DrewP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeW Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Nicely done. A brave man indeed, attempting to mask a 134s cockpit! Really enjoy Zvezda airliners, but you are correct about the fiddly landing gear. Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Very nice indeed. The TU-134 looks particularly Thunderbirds like. I remember these coming over my house in to Heathrow a few years ago. Always recognisable by the undercarriage 'carrots', and the fact that they were very noisey which is presumably why we don't see them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Beautiful work there Derek. Particularly like the '154. I see them in Bratislava 3 or 4 times a year and always plan to build one..who knows I may change scales. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
