FortyEighter Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 Now almost complete; decals applied, engine intakes and exhausts to finish painting and then the top aerial and nose pitots to attach Having debated the issue re number of reverse thrusters, using the decals gives a good overall impression: 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortyEighter Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Just in case anyone was wondering why this build has taken me so long, the new title tells all - I've been building my other Roden kit at the same time and have finished this one in BA Negus livery. Here are a few photos Will post some more photos in the Gallery before tonights deadline 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Classic scheme! I love the little glimpses of passengers through the windows too. Regards, Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Adrian Thanks Adrian. Yes, Authentic Airliners window decals make a big difference and break up the monotony of every window being a shade of grey. For the BA scheme, I managed to cut up their BAC 1-11 cockpit decals to fit the VC-10 - a fiddly job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Two lovely VC-10's, my favourite scheme is still BOAC's gold Speedbird though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I stopped "spotting" in the late 60s and didn't do much flying (as a passenger) until the mid 80s, so Negus and Landor schemes passed me by. So the BOAC livery is the one that I remember. Despite it getting a lot of criticism, I think that the Landor scheme looks really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandboof Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Awesome pair The BOAC scheme is a classic Maybe BA could do a retro one day even if only on an A320 Thanks for sharing Martin h 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
