Alex1978 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 The last of the batch. The decals for the Gulf Air version also come from an older Revell 767 release. Their 1992 kit with British Airways/Gulf Air decals and RR engine option. These decals were in similar condition as the Lauda ones,but at least they stayed on the model. Utmost TLC was necessary to get the decals layed down and around the nose.They were quite stiff and brittle in some places,even after the application of liquid decal film. Some touch ups with paint were unavoidable but it came out better than I expected. Same paints used on this as on my previous 767s. It was quite a task working on 6 767s simultaneously but also fun and I learned a lot about the type.The many door and window layouts in particular,which lead to careful research of the subject.A good thing that I have a very informative book about the 767,it was a massive help during those builds. Thats it for now with this type,3 more Revell 767s are in my stash,but they will be done another time. Now I am off to my 777s and 787s that are in production. Stay tuned Alex 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skodadriver Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Another fine result Alex. Well done with the decals which must have been about 30 years old! Dave G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then Revell produced the decals themselves and the quality certainly lacked compared to todays standard. I wish there would have been aftermarket decals available for that livery,but I only found a set for the TriStar,so I had no other choice but try to do the best I could with what was at hand Edited January 14, 2022 by Alex1978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
