RCI Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) After 3 months of building i finally finished this Revell/zvezda hybrid A319. You can find a detailed WIP report here: Quick Build Log: - Clear resin windows, correctly shaped with masks - Window blinds - Zvezda Cockpit clear part / resin copy - Revell A321NEO flightdeck / resin copy - Cockpit decals selfmade for all panels - Zvezda Engine Shaft vents, Fans and Wingtip fences / resin copy - scratch build APU inlet/exhaust - Adjustment of the Flap canoes + deleting of 321 fairings - Billboard titles masked iso decals - ResKit wheels + 3d printed Rim caps - Lenses for Taxi/Turn Off lights on NLG - Lenses for wing lights and landing lights - scratch build Nav lights tail and wing, made of clear resin - scratch build beacon lights - Hydraulic lines on MLG - Wingbox seals laser printed - Antennas PE parts - AOA sensors scratch build - Outflow valve scratch build - ALL static dischargers made from paintbrush hair thats all i can remember right now, there are still way more changes and things i have done i.e. on the engines etc. i did a little Base for it, and made some photos outside, the light is just more realistic on the model. Photos are not the very best, i was a bit in a hurry when i took them... 🙂 - Edited August 31, 2020 by RCI fingertrouble 51 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skodadriver Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 An absolutely superb result although having followed the WIP I couldn't imagine it turning out any other way. Thanks for sharing such an outstanding model. Dave G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenger350Pilot Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) Hi Sini! Stunning job! Really fine finish. I, too, followed the WIP and we have corresponded much throughout your build; with such a masterclass I am not suprised this one turned out so well. Love the pictures, too...even hurried, they are quite nice and bode well for a fine finish.

Bangseat Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Absolutely superb! So much cracking detail in there, I love the wing detail particularly. I may have to copy you a bit if I ever get round to doing a A319, often pictures of a good model are better references than the real thing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then its a case of..do I trust this modeller..? 😜 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) Fantastic build! I especially love the weathering that is airliner style spot on! And also that you have avoided wash on the body panel lines - many airliner builders can't resist that. Perfect, looks just like the real thing!

I also have seen overweathered models. And surely my upcoming Iran Air 747SP is way more weathered, but still it should look realistic - i hope :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
