Pstryk Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Hello guys, It's my debut on this forum. I'm making airplane models since 2016 and now I have around 105 planes in my collection. Mostly WWII aircraft. But I like the passenger planes the most. So, for my debut I have chosen an Airbus A300B4. It's made as a tribute to the victims of biggest airplane disaster in Indonesia. 26.09.1997 the PK-GAI airbus crashed in the mountains near city of Medan. All 234 people on board were killed. May they rest in peace. The model is 1:144 Daco Skyline model on old 1975 Airfix moulds. I made some changes, like adding a part of fwd interior, adding Packs on the belly, and relocalizing the tail bumper into the correct position. Hobby folks from the Polish forum helped me by explaining some things and correcting my mistakes. Building time: 26.07-11.08.2022 Hope You like it, Patryk 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skodadriver Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Welcome to Britmodeller Patryk. Thanks for sharing your excellent model. The Airfix A300 might be over 40 years old and lacking some details but it gives a good result in the right hands. There are several Britmodeller members who specialise in airliners. We are a friendly group and will always do our best to answer any questions or offer any help we can so don't hesitate to ask. I'm looking forward to your next model.

TheyJammedKenny! Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Nice job! Also very fast work on your part, and the masking on the wing undersides between the leading edge and corrogard center-section looks difficult. May you build many more!!!! I'm one of those who builds commercial subjects -- though not exclusively -- in 1/72. Happy to help if I know the answers, and even if I don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, the corogard was a decal, but difficult to place due to the wing fairings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tMikha Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Welcome! I’m always glad to meet one more 1/144 civils builder😀 It’s a great start, really like your weathering around doors. And the A300 model is rare enough, interesting to watch the pictures. Thank you for sharing👍 Edited August 20, 2022 by tMikha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex1978 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Welcome to the forum. A very nice entry with your A300. The Airfix kit is old but still worth building. A nice tribute to those on board the unlucky flight. Thanks for sharing Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
