Ridibunda Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Just came back to subj after 8 months... It was not so easy What we have as for now? - Joints of fuselage parts were finished with putty and polished. - Wings are glued up with fuselage and now drying. It was decided to attach horisontal stabilizers after painting and decals setting, because it will not be possible to apply decals there on final stage w/o cutting... What the next? - Drying - Coating with primer - Preparing for painting with colour like "Airbus primer coat" - Decals printing. External elements of decal are prepared for printing, internal elements under drawing - Rest of... (lacquer, decaling, engine pylones, horizontal stabilizers and cargo door attaching, lacquer, landing gears and doors) Edited December 4, 2017 by Ridibunda 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also are you going off of photographs for your painting or just being creative? Either way, I like it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
