One model per (non-working) day

[Vermin_King]

Okay, I'm setting aside my Zio build, and working on the TWA Constellation. My oldest client and friend turns 95 on Monday and he retired from TWA many, many years ago.

Is it possible for a moderator to help you edit the initial post to contain the 'How to Build' file? If you want to, that is. Fuselage is now done (after the third installation of the nose, and the second try on the cabin glass). Still not that great, but at the small scale, it doesn't look half bad at arm's length.

I was going back through the posts trying to find helpful hints when I found the How To file. I wish I'd seen it earlier.

BTW, I can see why everyone is finding these so addictive

Dear Bruno:
Thank you very much for your excellent models covering both classic and obscure subjects. This is my very first post and I didn’t want to arrive empty handed. Please find attached a re-colored and a de-colored Avro RJ75. The models are made with MS Paint and PPT, so are raster rather than vector. I shrunk the fuselage and remove a few windows; the first is a BAE 146 CC.2 from the Royal Flight with red wings, similar to the one use for the very sad occasion of Princess Diana last flight, the other is in current white color. I do models in 1/400, so for my purposes this is sufficient. That’s why I really like your models, only 75% reduction. I have seen many requests to you, and many already granted! So I didn’t want to miss three suggestions in white:
Transall C-160
Antonov An-72
De Havilland Canada Dash 7
I know you are more in the mood for fighters and attack planes, but I hope you may return to tactical transports soon.
Best regards and happy modeling to all of you!
Pablo Cicero.

Thanks everyone for your contributions and kind words.

I see I'm contaminating this community
but it is with a benign virus, so that is not a problem.

today I'm going to make a model chosen by my daughter.

Oh yes, before I forget.
There are indeed a few "how to" files in this thread.
The general ones are gathered here for quick reference.

hope this helps

Do you think the 747-8i/747-8F is on the long list?

[bkensky]

thank you for notifying me about the MiG 21. And I am looking forward for the MiG23 and 27 Floggers...

As for a contribution, I did a recolor of your's A310 in Aeroflot's old livery and beta testing it. I did some alterations to the engines and fixed some alignment and positioning issues I found in the default template. Making such great models in such great speeds miss out something but no so troubling though we are here for the fixing and refurnishing job.

Thank you again and keep surprising us Master of 1:300 scale flying machines

It has been a very nice and sunny day here so I am somewhat behind schedule with my new plane. I guess the test build will be too late for a release today. Anyway, yesterday I posted two models. So my honor is saved
Releasing tomorrow might give me also the opportunity to make some different liveries.

I just finished building the F-111. I changed the colors (but not the scheme) and the markings.

Thank you again, Bruno!

Excellent, Carlos. You must have done a lot of edge colouring to make it look so clean and neat.

Today I recolored a 747-400 into the old NWA colors. This airplane is the same registration as flight 85 when there was a rudder problem. The model will be posted after the test build.
