BAe 146-200 from Gary Pilsworth
I am about to start a recolour (proper English spelling) of Gary Pilsworth’s BAe 146 commuter jet into a Delta Connection/ASA paint scheme. There was a lot of talk in another thread here of people vectoring the model and developing different paint schemes for this model. However, a search of this site doesn’t bring up any new schemes, or even a build of the original model. I will post my build report here, and invite anybody that has built this model to add their work here.

Go for it Knife. This will be sort of a double edged thread.

I'm excited to see what you have in store!
I did a build of the British Airways livery a couple of months ago... |

I can't believe I still haven't finished vectoring the model. When something gets in the way, I completely forget about the stuff I was working on..... :( A really bad habit I have to deal with.
BTW, I'm looking for some good reference photos of the panel lines, gear wells ect. Does anyone know any good sources? ------- Really looking to see the finished bird. Is it going to be in the original scale?

Thanks for contributing to the thread. Looks like a good build. My repaint will be full size (1/48 scale), which makes it a large model.

Reminds me of the days when I visited QANTAS in Sydney and the head of maintenance asked me if I know why this plane had 4 engines? His answer was because they could not fit a fifth engine on. Another word it was under powered for their operations.
My solution would have been to place only 2 engines on it powerful enough to do the job. Those were the old Avco Lycoming ALF 502 turbofan engines ( geared fan engines ). Isaac

I was told “BAe” stood for Bring Another Engine. I guess the had some reliability issues with the engines. Anyway, I started a build of the original design. This is one big model. Good details in the wheel wells and the tail speed brakes. The aft passenger windows need to be lowered a bit, and door handles need to be added to the doors. Cargo hatches and the APU panels will also be added.
The wing ribs looked a little flimsy so I added a little reinforcement to keep them straight and aligned. |

Looks good Knife.
One thing I love about Pilsworth's designs is there's absolutely no question were things go- just look at that yellow area!
