SAT69 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Nice way to present your model although I confess that I'd much preferred to see still pictures where the quality of your work can be seen more closely and observed longer. Looks like you did a fine job. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.. not too much skill required for the presentation. GooglePhotos did the job- even the music! I would have posted photos but the image hosting (Imgur/photobucket) is now charging for. If there are other hosting sites, please let me know. making the collage video was much easier on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zulu Hotel Alpha Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) To straighten out the warped tail, i used heat from my toaster! (before you say it....I don't own a hairdryer) . It was very tricky to judge the amount of hear required, so had to do it gently and gradually.

Gimme Shelter Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Nice work there with the model. One day I need to get on and build mine but like yours, mine is badly twisted and warped from the moulding process. I like your choice of livery too - top marks. I just don't get why Airbus chose to design and build such an ugly duckling of a plane (nose end) when they were in direct competition with Boeing and the 787. Forget the noise reduction factors, passenger capability, range, fuel consumption etc of the A350 vs the 787 - its a bloomin ugly bird and something I just can't get excited about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Lovely build I moved to FlickR a few years ago after the photobucket scandal and whilst they charge, I don't expect something for nothing so happy with what it costs unless they pull the same stunt as PB. I had an issue uploading once and got support the same day so customer support is good too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the saying goes..."a face, only a mother would love" 😉 I felt and still feel the same about the A350s front end. Taking the rest of the aircraft,its very elegant in design,so why they messed up the nose is beyond me. Although the A350 has proven to be a very comfortable aircraft. I flew 2019 on a Cathay Pacific A350-1000 to Hongkong. Very nice flight and an incredibly smooth landing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skodadriver Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Very impressive. Thanks for sharing. I'm in the other camp from @Alex1978 and @Gimme Shelter - I'm one of the strange minority who actually like the A350's odd, quirky looks! You must have been unlucky with your kit. When I did my China Airlines A350 a couple of years ago I didn't have any trouble with warping. It was one of the easiest and most pleasant builds I've ever done and I will definitely build the kit again. Dave G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, You may try imgbb as a hosting site : https://imgbb.com It is easy to use and offers to open many separate albums. Well done with your A350. What a shame they do not exist in 1/200th ! Cheers.

Thanks for the compliment. As I said earlier, it was my first build in over 3 decades. I disagree with you saying it's ugly. I love the aircraft and have flown a number of times on it. and thats why I decide to build it. Inside and out, it was a joy to be in. So quiet. But, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! And I do prefer the nose over the B787. Lets agree to disagree:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speak for yourself! 😉 6 hours ago, Zulu Hotel Alpha said: beauty is in the eye of the beholder So true. From what I have read the nose is a product of the internal placement of parts, minimising the exterior while maximizing the interior. Form follows function, hence the economic/aerodynamic noses of the B787 and the A350. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 That is amazing, hope to see more civvies from you. I prefer the 787 to 350, 900 isn’t so bad but the 1000 just looks weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
