mitchem Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 My take on Amodel's Sud Aviation Caravelle III finished off in the markings of VIASA. I enjoyed the build although the undercarriage was an absolute nightmare to put together. Wings fences were made from thin plastic sheet as this boxing didn't come with photo-etched parts. (Luckily I had Amodel's 10-R version to hand, so their parts were used as templates). Classic Airlines decal sheet (CA144-419) was used and it will come as no surprise that they were beautifully printed and performed flawlessly. (It does give you the option to paint the tail and this is the route I took). Thanks for looking. mike (P.S. Looks like my entry for next year's Latin American competition has been completed 😋) 31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 That is a real beauty Mike, superbly finished as usual. I quite like classic-airlinres decals, they perform well and do some very nice schemes. Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skodadriver Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 That's a superb model Mike. Excellent build and attractive, unusual livery. The natural metal is particularly impressive. What did you use for it? Dave G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no it hasn't, it's disqualified once you've shown the whole world and his dog (or even just me & Ken - he'll probably be lurking in the shadows!!) Really bad planning that Mike, could have saved yourself a lot of work... Still, another stunner off the dining room table - and two in a week? Matches my output for most years...!! Lovely job!

stringbag Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 That's another lovely looking model Mike. I haven't seen one built up yet, but might be tempted to get one based on your result with the kit. Thanks for posting. Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you use for it? Thanks Dave. I used AK Extreme Metal Aluminium on the fuselage and wings. "Corogard" areas on the wings were done by spraying the aluminum with AK Ultra Matte Varnish. Not sure if they existed on the real thing but they look the part. On 9/22/2019 at 11:27 PM, keefr22 said: Ha!!

I have to admit that I've taken a shine to Amodel Caravelles and Eastern European kits as I like attacking polystyrene with sanding blocks and grinders. It's the painting bit that I don't like. 17 hours ago, Mohawk said: PS When Keith brought two models for the comp,I was gobsmacked,thats the most hes done in years. Mohawk Cheers Mohawk (don't worry, your identity is safe with me......). To be fair, I didn't think I'd finish my Twin Otter in time, and Keith offered to let me rent one of his until the voting had been completed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
