luxskater Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 after years of lurking around here I finally uploaded my first RFI. Modelling since forever and still learning new skills as my results are far from perfect. Eyesight issues don't really help but I am still enjoying the hobby! The Zvezda 757 kit is straight forward and offers both RR and PW engine options. I choose the classic Monarch livery, laser printed decals provided by 26 Decals, the set comes with a silk screen printed details sheet as well and is excellent as usual from 26. Biggest issue was the nose landing gear that is a bit fragile but overall I am happy with the result. The GPU and airstairs are kits from Rocast. Very fine but fragile detail but great to have some GSE to join the scenery. Peter 30 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortyEighter Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 A neat looking model and a livery that's not too common on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I've always loved Monarch's original livery on the 757. Your model definitely does justice to the real airplane. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
