HA-LEX is a beautifully plane in the old MALÉV fleet.
Why do you choose this livery?

Smile Malev

Hello!

Well, I always liked their colours.
One of my other hobbies is aviation spotting.
Always wanted to make a nice photo of MALEV but only 1 time had this chance before they went out of business. As they are not flying any more I simply decided 'I need to have that model!'

By the way, there are many other nice 'classic schemes' like BA, LOT, Continental, Delta, Southwest, Sabena... which I would like to see on my B-737 model

Agreed! I'd also like to see KLM.

KLM/Air Holland

Hello!

From what I was told there may be a problem with KLM as they are very protective about their logo.
I know it is not the same, but there shouldn't be any issue with Air Holland for example.

Question white lines on the dark shape?

Hello gents!

Just a quick question for designers...

Everything seemed to be OK on the computer, but after the vertical stabiliser came out from the printer, I noticed that black lines are almost invisible!

Should I make them all lines say at least 30% white?
Or maybe, I should leave them black on the red/white/green shape and make them white on the blue one?
How can I go about it?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Many thanks on advance!

Cybermac

Welcome to the wonderful world of paper model designing and recoloring!!!! lol

There are many, many schools on this, but for me I like to make the lines lighter on dark backgrounds in order to see them. And yes I know on the real thing it's hard to see panel lines and such.......... but these are models and modelers like to see panel lines!

Cybermac it's really up to you, but I vote to see the lines, so make them lighter on dark backgrounds.

On the 787 I'm now doing it was suggested to me to go with 70% gray on white backgrounds and 30% gray on dark backgrounds.........

Thumbs up Malev's tail...

Hello!

John - thank you for the advice, I have done exactly as you said and I think now the tail looks much better

Also, as the 'white hairline' wasn't visible on the dark blue I changed the lines onto 0.5 and 0.75 accordingly.

I am just only not sure what I should do with this tail...
