One model per (non-working) day - Page 18

To commence the weekend, A little model of the RF-84F I created about a year ago but never build for my own collection.

This weekend should (if nothing comes in between) result in a few models in the 1/300 series. I already prepared the plans for the Convair CV-990, the Dassault Mercure, the Sud-aviation Caravelle and a few others. The order is not yet defined.

The Thunderflash looks good!

I can't wait to see the Caravelle. Are you making a De Havilland Comet? The first 2 Caravelles used the Comet front section.

Hmm the Dassault Mercure... their only attempt at making an airliner. Only 12 built.

With some delay, here comes the Caravelle in 1/300 scale.
I need to do some alignments in the blue lines on the fuselage. (These things happen in a first tryout version)

In accordance with the discussion earlier with Yoav, I worked with separate tabs this time. The connections between the parts of the fuselage are indeed smoother. This method on the other hand requires a bit more time in building the model.

Up to the next model.

After the Caravelle I built the Dassault Mercure in its original color scheme today in 1/300 scale.
Here too I worked with separate tabs for a smoother fuselage. However fot eh cockpit I added an extra layar and the thickness of the paper makes it visible.

(Always in a learning curve)

Here are some pictures (as always).

Cheers

It's fantastic seeing these old french airliners.

S&P - You have my admiration. I wonder how long you can endure this.
I wish you all the best

Some of your works are really superb designs. Hat off to you.

This Caravelle is looking so good... Great work!

Thank you all.

We'll see how long I will keep up. As long as possible
(or until there are no aircraft anymore to model

. I once tried to make a list of a/c of WWII and after 2400 different types I dispaired)

Let's start the weekend with a test of "Fat Albert" in 1/300 scale.
There is some work on the alignment and some parts, but I'm no too dissatisfied with the first result at this scale .

I also didn't use separate tabs, so the joints between parts are a bit rugged. I know I can do better.

If all goes well (and I get enough time) I'll try the Avro Vulcan in the same scale.

Looking good. Nice paint scheme, too.
