zebra Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Here's my Amodel 1/144 Caravelle 10R with Transeuropa decals from 26. The kit's ok but there were a couple of things I didn't like - the undercarriage was a bit of a faff with quite indistinct and imprecise fit, and one of the PE wing fences just didn't want to stay on the wing! The 26 decals were nice as always. It does have cockpit window decals - there just isn't much contrast between them and the blue surrounding them! thanks for looking Julian 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberto Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Great work! I never heard of this Transeuropa company, but the name is a really nice one 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp Donkey Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Beautiful. Lovely model of one of my all time favourite aircraft SD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 This is beautifully done, and really captures the appearance of the real aircraft dead-on. Any special techniques involved here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Nice! The long skinny lines along the side of the fuselage; are they Zebra stripes? 🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex1978 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Beautiful build of a difficult kit with a simple but very effective livery It captures the elegant lines of the Caravelle very well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Young Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Very nice! What white paint did you use?, the finish looks great with just the right level of reflection. Very elegant. Cheers, Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Every time I see a beautiful build of a 1/144 scale Caravelle, yours being a top notch example, I once again long for a 1/72 scale Caravelle for my collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesa Jussila Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Caravelle is so elegant plane. Nicely built. Need to finish my own Finnair version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white paint is from the Scale Modellers Supply (aka SMS) - it's become my go-to white - it airbrushes nicely and gives good coverage. Being white it needs more than one coat, but you can get a nice white finish in one airbrushing session. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodadriver Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Another beauty Julian. Thanks for sharing. Transeuropa's Caravelles occasionally turned up at Glasgow in the 1970s to the delight of the local spotters including me. They were exotic beasts among the Tridents and Viscounts. IIRC they operated 11R Combis as well as the 10Rs. Dave G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
