Hi there!!!

I've been working on this for a while, feels great to be making airliners again. Made some mistakes at the wing joint....

This model is designed by Edwin Rodriguez, and brilliantly repainted by Christopher Roden, you can get the model at the Hermercraft FB page.

Originally it's in 1/120, but I rescaled this to approximately 1/144.

I made a few minor tweaks to the model, such as changing some fonts, adding registration and adding some grey to the fuselage. Asiana states on their website that their fuselage colour is a "cool grey", and I tried to get that colour, but I think it's a tad lighter on my model...
I also tried tracing the decals for the Zvezda/Revell 1/144 lastic model and cropped some textures of the glass from photos. Looks a bit small, though..

I tried cutting between the engine blades and twisting them slightly, and it was really hard to get the thin paper to stay where I angled them.

Anyway, I enjoyed building this kit. The quality is outstanding, and it's FREE!! Can't get any better than that. Check out more of his models, there are a million repaints that he is still yet to release!!
