Boeing 757-2G5 LTU Sued, Authentic Airliner 1:144

[NorbertBu]

Here I would like to show you my latest finished model. I built it from the old resinkit by Kurt Lehmann, (authentic airliner), which consisted of two fuselage parts. 

Also the realistic window decals are made by this manufacturer. 

The Airline decals are from Flightpath.

 

The D-AMUX was used by LTU Süd from 1988 til 2001 for chartered flights to holiday destinations.

 

I had some trouble with the paint job, the first window decal was not opaque, so the red colour was shining through, but I quickly got a new one from the Lehmann company. I was not careful enough doing the red and white striping, so I had to remove part of it and had to look for another one of these very rare decal sheets, but finally found one on a model show in the Netherlands. But after all these fallbacks this project is completed now.

 

I hope you like this colourful airliner from an almost forgotten company!

 

cheers,

 

Norbert
