BA777 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I've just been through my decal stash and found a set of British Caledonian A320 decals, now I have a Zveda A320 waiting for me to start work on it am I correct in thinking that to build it as a -100 I don't put anyway wing tip fences on it or are there any other minor differences between a -100 and a -200?

Scott Garard Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Externally, it's just the wingtip fences that differentiate a -200 from a -100. Internally, the -200 had an extra fuel tank that increased range. Also, all 21 -100s built had CFM engines. Scott. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1978 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 If you just leave off the wingtip fences you will have an A320-100. Just see to it that your model has CFM56 engines as already mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I'm just building this same aircraft in British Caledonian markings too. I've noticed that as well as missing the tip fences it doesn't have the strakes on the cowlings either. See here, first of the 3 pictues. And for the full story of BCAL's A320 see here of how it was undergoing flight testing in BCAL colours, but never made it into service, due to BCAL being taken over by Britsish Airways.They were repainted into BA before delivery, Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadRicky Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I would add as well they were equipped with CFM56-5A .... means longer engine spinner and a metallic plate for the engine anti-ice outlet on the bottom rh side of engine just behind the engine inlet cowl ring. You can see it on the first picture on the first link posted by Viking..... plus on other pictures of the second link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA777 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 So pretty much a -100 is almost identical to a -200? What engines come with the Zveda kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Rhodes Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Wow, thanks for the photos, John, never knew that the first two actually got painted up in BCal colours! I too have this on my pending build list. Just need to finish a few others first, including a BCal VC-10. Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
