Airbus A320 Family Reworking

RunwayOneSixRight · #1 08-22-2015, 07:32 PM

Hi everyone,

Here is my reworked Airbus A320-200 from Paper-replika.com.
I spent the last 9 months reworking it by adding panel lines, new cargo doors, windows, rivets,
ports andmany various other details on the fuselage.
I do not like the look of the rivets so I removed them and am going to do a second test build.
There is still more work to be done in the aft section.

Enjoy.

I suppose I should say this is the second version of the A320 I have finished.
The other file is on my Mac's HDD and the version above is on my Lenovo's HDD as well the 1TB external
HDD.
I currently have this in two scales, 1:100 (original) and 1:144. I am going to try and upscale it to 1:72
but if I do I will have to add the bulkhead and wing spars I made.

That's a lot of hard work! From the looks of it, it really paid off!

Rivets look cool in concept but in reality you would have to get within a few feet of a modern airline to see any rivet lines. The modern epoxy paints make them disappear. I like the detail you put into the emergency over wing exits, and you made the galley and entrance doors square! Bravo, that detail is often missed by most designers. Well done.

Thank you for those exceptionally kind words, Knife.

I am currently working on my A320 again in Inkscape.
Another test build at 1:144 this time will be soon.

Thank you.
I made a mistake though, I meant eight months not nine.
In December 2015 it'll be a year and I hope to have it along with the
A318, A319, and A321 finished for good.
I've got an Aeroflot livery that is finished and needs to be test built
as well as seven other liveries (I keep myself very very busy).

I hope to get the Airbus A318, A319, A320 and A321 finished by December.
I already have plans to rework the Airbus A330 into an A340 next year.
It'll be the 2nd Paper-replika model I've reworked.

Cool!!! I'd love to see the A32X family in BA, one of my friend is a pilot and he pilots them around Europe. I'm not asking for your model, but like a recolour.
