Dave_R Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Hi All, This something very different for me, I may have built a 1/144 airliner once upon a time when I nine or ten - but I can't actually remember doing so. I've always avoided airliners as I don't like working with gloss paint or small scales, but this could be a nice change. I'm very impressed with the fine molding and detail - although the undercarriage looks incredibly delicate. Dave. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Welcome mate, I do like the look of these Russian jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortyEighter Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Welcome (back?) To the world of 144 airliners, I am sure you'll enjoy this kit and look forward to reading your progress. For painting try a tin of Halfords Appliance White - most airliner modellers use it and it gives excellent results straight from the can.

zebra Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Nice choice - the Zvezda Tu-134 is a lovely little kit. Might build one or two in this GB myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Hi All, The building is done. The fit of the all parts is good, apart from the cockpit clear transparency which needed a bit of filler. Nearly ready for primer. Dave. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 Hi All, I'm back to working on this build. Primed. ...and with paint. The white's gone on fairly well, next will be the silver leading edges. Dave. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 Hi All, The silver leading edges are painted. Dave. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 Hi All, The grey area has been painted. A bit of the white peeled off with the masking tape which is annoying. So after the white has been retouched and the wingtips painted red, I can put on the decals. Dave. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray S Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 That looks like it is coming along well. It is a shame about the white peeling off in places, it was quite a large area. All the best, Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Hi All, It's nearly finished. There's one or two spots that need a dab of paint, but otherwise finished. My first completed 1/144 and don't think it will be the last, quite a pleasant change from my usual type of build. Dave. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Very nice, they are good looking jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
