Micha Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) filled the A380's windows 'cos there were no windows inside the box but window decals. let the filler noses to dry meanwhile I painted the wheels in silver and black cutting off those noses Edited February 6, 2012 by Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Looking good, I wondered if anyone would fill the windows on their A380 builds. Also - I have to fit modelling around travelling too! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micha Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) you won't believe it ... but the landing gears are all individual parts and I can't believe that this will hold that huge and heavy A380 Edited February 6, 2012 by Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micha Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) it's going on ... and on ... and on... Those ain't the wheel arches of an old VW Golf I hope, this all will hold the whole A380 later Edited February 6, 2012 by Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaiidanTomcat Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 This is a great build! Those landing gear look very complex! Well done so far how do you expect to fix the busted gear? The painting is top notch... Great swirls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done so far how do you expect to fix the busted gear?The painting is top notch... Great swirls! thanks. first of all I'll try to glue it ... if that might be instable then I will put some thin metal strips at the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 That gear does look an inherent weak point, maight be worth bearing in mind for others building this. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
