1/144 Emirates A380-900 conversion


Recommended Posts

Hi all, as you airliner nuts know, I do like an A380.... So for my next trick I'm going to be doing something different. I'm going to do a 900 conversion as Emirates, but before I go into detail I'd like to say a big thank you to TOM PROBERT for donating the built fuse.... Thanks buddy, I'm going to be building the 19 frame stretch ( god help me ) I don't know how big the plugs will be but I'm hoping that counting the windows on the graph will help me. I was worried about the front wings, but looked on other sites and they all say the same " the wings on the 800 were built with the 900 in mind " I will be starting this on Friday because I'm off. If anybody has a set of revell Emirates 380 decals and they want to part with them please let me know. Need 2 sets can trade or send payment via Paypal.

This is doing my nut in big time, trying to work out how I'm going to do this conversion. But I will get there

Hi Chris,

Took the plunge and this is how mine is so far! :analintruder:

Front space is 51mm and the rear is 28mm.

Just part of the long road!

he'll be even more bonkers if he super-details it and installs a cockpit, opens up all the doors, puts the seats in, details the cargo bays, etc etc etc.....

tho' it's the kind of bonkerism that I like :)

I'll admit to being a passionate studyier of bonkerology.....

...Not using my FC fedex sheet as kev1n said they are to good to wast on a crap kit

Unless you can fix it, any decal would be wasted on that particular kit
