lomasca Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Today, I put the finishing touches on my Zvezda Boeing 737 MAX 8. Not perfect, but it looks great, and I'm quite pleased with it. This livery gets a knocking from some, but personally I think it looks great, especially on the MAX. Build - kit went together very well as per Zvezda kits Paints - Humbrol and Halfords spray cans, details with Humbrol enamels and acrylics Decals - Livery decals by 8Decs, windows and details from Authentic Airliners. There was a mismatch between these which led to some windows being misaligned, but it's not hugely noticeable and the overall look destracts from it. A few homemade details - Pitot/static made out of spare plastic, have since found a better way to do with paper card, but will save that for next time. Static wick dischargers made from flakes of an old plastic Christmas tree. Weathering done with HB/2B pencils. The shelf is getting a bit full! Next up I'm heading to widebody town with the Revell 777-300ER. Opting for the baby blue Air Canada livery and an aircraft I travelled on back in 2014. Suggestions and feedback welcome. Chris Tip if using bits of Christmas tree for static wicks... they fall off. 34 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 A superb looking model. A beautiful paint job of an attractive scheme. That's the first time I've seen those escape route markings on the wing. BTW, I saw John Cooper Clarke not long ago in Bridport. Very entertaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbag Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Very nice indeed. I'm not a fan of this new livery but in my opinion it looks better than the old scheme. Thanks for posting Chris. Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
