zebra Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Here's my Zvezda Boeing 757 with a difference! It's Honeywell's testbed, N757HW, which has flown in various configurations including this one, with a TPE-331 turboprop on the pylon on the forward fuselage. The turboprop is 3D-printed but it seemed simpler to make the fairing at the base of the pylon from milliput. The main decals (including the tiny sharkmouth on the turboprop!) are home-made, windows and detail decals are from a 26 Decals set. This was built in the Prototypes, Research etc group build, build thread is here. This was a fun build - the Zvezda kit is very nice, and I stretched my 3D-printing and decal designing skills a bit. thanks for looking Julian 49 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eng Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Wow, I love the 75' and this is a beauty. I did wonder if someone would try the one with the F-22 wing section on the top but this is way cooler. Stunning build. Eng 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might need to have a go at the F-22 test bed but the colour scheme is pretty boring. I am very tempted to do the 737 Catbird F-35 test bed though.

That's got to be the definition of mixed media right there! Great subject, beautifully modelled. Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
