zebra Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 Orange bits painted and a few decals on - I thought it would be easier to get a few of these decals on without the tailplanes and fins getting in the way - then tailplanes and elevator attached: 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 You're making me really want one of these now Z.... this is looking so good and we can only hope that the Skyvan is amoungst the first aircraft kits that Airfix choose to kit in their Vintage Classics range. Cheers.. Dave. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers.. Dave. Thanks Dave. I'd like to make another - it's a very nice kit for its age - and I agree, it would be great to see this as part of the Vintage Classics range 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure there's a third Skyvan build going on - also in Brits Abroad - but that one seems to have gone a bit quiet. It's a lovely kit for its age. One thing I can't emphasise enough - put plenty of weight in the nose! I did put enough in mine, but it turns out only just enough - it became pretty finely balanced once the empennage went on, if I tip it onto its tail it'll stay there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Some touch-ups and a few more decals: more tomorrow Z 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 Calling this done. Not my best work, but I like it, it's a bit different, and I enjoyed the build. Would definitely build another Skyvan. More photos in the gallery shortly. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Looks super! It’s a fun kit - half way between a plane and a tank... Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventora3300 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Another aircraft and kit I had no knowledge of until this excellent build - the alternative decal option has come out brilliantly. Congratulations on a fabtastic (not a typo) build, Z. Cheers. Mike. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Loved it being built and love it even more finished. Well done Z, not only has this turned out wonderfully well, but you’ve convinced me to look even harder to try and source one. Cheers..
