Malair Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Well, she's finished. You can find the build report here. Not my best build, but I'm pleased with it considering the small scale. This Resin model kit by Welsh is very nice with an excellent fit. I did add some extra details, such as the engine exhausts, various other details on the engines, the direction finder loop antennae and other antennae. I scratched the forward landing gear strut as I found the original to be too thick. The window and cockpit decals are also made by me. And as a bonus a comparison shot with my A330. The diameter of the engine intakes of the A330 is bigger than the fuselage of the Jetstream 41! Thanks for looking and see you next time!

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 That is a keeper Martijn, your J41 looks great. I am a fan of the window decals, adds a level of realism to the model. I would love someone to release an injected J41 in 1/72 one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSTON Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Martijn, Both look AMAZING. Great little build. KUDOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Very nice indeed. It certainly looks a tiddler next to the A330, the small size makes the build more impressive to my eyes. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malair Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Thanks for the nice words guys! Much appreciated. p.s. if your want to see the end-pictures of my KLM A330, you can find those here (near the end of the thread) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only other options are the 1/72 Welsh vac/resin or the 1/72 Space Models resin blank (travel agency style). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbofan Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Very smart as expected Martijn, I think the scratch built nose gear has made a big difference to the model. It looked too clunky and toy like with the original piece. Plus of course your windows really finish it off as usual! This could easily pass for 1/72 in your pics, hard to believe it's only 13cm. It looks like a handy size to display too, I've got lots of big jets on the go at the moment and I don't know where I'm going to display them! The shapes look good not all Welsh kits are, IMO. But then again I've not seen any of the more recent resin fuselage models, after seeing this I might look into getting one. Looking forward to next time!

Viking Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Really nice build there, the window and cockpit decal are brilliant. The new nose leg looks very fine, all in a a definite 10 out of 10 model! Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajmm Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Beautiful work. I love the subtle work you've done on the panel lines and those window decals are brilliant. Very impressive stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangeways Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Beautiful work Martijn, some very subtle touches. I'm tempted to try some similar window decals, are they ink-jet printed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottC Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 airliners aren't really my thing but there is something about the Jetstream that looks right and your build is cracking. ScottC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malair Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Many thanks for all your nice words guys, you make me blush!

It would seem that Welsh' resin offerings are very nice. I bought a whole bunch of them and they look similarly nice. Expect more Welsh kit builds in the future!

Though you can laser print them as well (just make sure you use the appropriate decal paper). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXANTOMCAT Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 This is a great build thanks for sharing! I am about 2/3 way through mine but foolishly glued the U/C in place....then there are the doors which are in one piece and of course need to be cut in half or trimmed now cos the gear is down. What did you do with yours? As I understand it the gear doors are closed on the ground and only open on the retraction cycle? Also if I could ask - what paint did you use to match the decals for the leading edge of the fin? I've built WM's 31 and it went together beautifully - the 41 is no exception - expensive but very good quality. Also their resin (which sands very well) seems to have some form of metallic powder in it (for strength?) which I've never seen before! Thanks in advance!
