Viking Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Airbus A321-253NX. Titan Airways/United Kingdom Government. 1/144 Revell with 26 Decals This is the new release of Revell's Airbus A321 neo (New Engine Option) LEAP engines and wintip 'sharklets'. My example came with decals for the Airbus 'in house' colours, but I wanted something more interesting. When I saw this set on the 26 decals website, I just had to have it. My kit suffered from sink marks on the wheels and engines, but nothing that a bit of filler couldn't sort out, Maybe I was unlucky because others have not found this problem. Then I broke the sticky out nose leg off twice, and had to drill and pin it . I managed to ruin one of the 'UNITED KINGDOM' decals on the fuselage (late night and beer was involved!), but Ray at 26 Decals very kindly sorted me out with a replacement. Top man Ray! The only tip I would give anyone making this scheme is to cut the 2 part long sweeping blue 'cheatline' sections into halves again, to simplify getting them into place. I'm not usually too impressed with modern airline liveries, but this one is a belter, I really like it! It got a pair of 'N' gauge railway passengers painted up as aircrew: Thanks for looking John 48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skodadriver Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Well up to your usual standards of excellence John. Thanks for sharing. I just didn’t get on with the Revell A321 neo when I tried to build it a couple of years ago and the half built model was eventually binned in a major cull of unfinished projects. Your beauty and the gorgeous Air NZ one from @Alex1978 make me think I really should have another go. Dave G 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1978 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Thats a beauty John. Fabulous build and me too like this livery very much. I knew there were decals available,but I coudnt figure out were i had seen it...so thanks again for posting this Airbus...👍 I have still some Zvezda A321CEOs but as the NEO engines from the Zvezda A320NEO are interchangeable,I might convert one of those😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_alfisti_ Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Nice looking Airbus, very well done. That scheme suits it very well. The more I look at all the airliners here on Britmodeller the more I feel the need to build one again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulaero Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 That's very nice , I have the decal's for this but not the kit yet , your display will help rectify that !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berko Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Sharp looking bird John. Great presentation and first class craftsmanship as always! cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortyEighter Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 A great model John, it might have cost rather a lot to paint the original but it's a great looking scheme. Perhaps we should petition Ray to do the similar decals for Voyager ZZ336. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
