Nord Noratlas Kampflieger 1/200

**Jan Kytop** · #1 07-10-2011, 08:17 AM

The french air force transport plane of the fifties and the sixties : the Noratlas. My father worked on these planes.
Model from Kampflieger (excellent) resized in 1/200. Djibouti special camo.
Some tips:
After printing , acrylic coat in spray to seal the inks.
After finishing matt acrylic coat for the plane and gloss acrylic coat for the glasses (canopy , portholes).
Small dot of white glue on the astrodome to give it the relief.

With an old Dinky Toys die cast (one of my favorit toys when I was young) in the same scale.

Fantastic build and very clean and tidy. Excellent workmanship.

This is in a curious way, a rather beautiful picture.
The two models side by side, and of the same scale, one freshly finished, the other showing the history of youthful employment.

Certainly the paper model is very finely done.

Were it in my power, I'd nominate this for a Pic Of The Week, simply because it says so much in one simple and beautiful image.

Congratulations on a very fine model.

Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell.

Thank you very much.
The base is from a forum for die cast airliners collectors but sorry I have forgotten where.
