Hi Kiteman,
Sorry about that. Got as far as resizing then my computer had an off day.
All okay now, and have added them to post.

Thanks,

Hopefully next pictures will show it more or less together. Have given it a bath, and waiting for it to dry out before some touching in here and there.
On track for being finished for meeting, have still to sort a base though.

Very posh!

If anyone is interested, the Beverly garden centre is flogging Airfix land-rovers with about 60% off.

Hi All,

Well nearly there.
Engines added, tailplanes added, hairline gaps between engine nacelles filled, last minute touch up paint done.
Now awaiting Undercarriage and doors (already painted and ready) and last will be winglets for end of wings and aerials and navigation lights.
Then a suitable base to mount on if I get time before meeting.
Cheers,
Bigkev.

Hi Guys,

Well its finished!

The undercarriage has been attached, the aerials in place, the anti collision light created from clear sprue and then painted, new 'correct size' winglets scratchbuilt from plasticard and attached. a final touch up with the paintbrush on the winglets and navigation lights and there you have it...................................

An Airbus A319 in British Midland International colours, more or less straight from the box.

Hope you like the pictures of the finished article,

Next Project.............................................

Revell BAC/Aerospatiale Concorde in 1/144th.

Bigkev

Enjoy!

Last two pictures. You may have noticed I have not created a new base for this model yet, using an existing one for the photo's. I am on with it but it won't be ready for a few days.

Hi Kiteman,

Thanks for that, but sadly it is a model.

A decent base always improves displaying a model. Enjoyed this project a lot, something about airliners for me...............!
