1/72 metal BOAC Britannia finishing touches
Posted: Wed Oct 19, 2011 12:44 amI had three of these models cast in the late 90s, and here I am in 2011 finally getting around to finishing the first of these models. Making metal airline models and restoring them is a long term process!!
The decals were custom made by my friend Andreas. In this photo I have masked off the engine nacelles for the detail paint treatment. Now that this is done .. all I need to do is have the model sprayed with clear coat and its done!
Not sure which markings I'll do the other example in. There are no 1/72 Britannia 100/200 decals available anywhere that I am aware of ... so the saga may continue for a good number of years until markings can be found/created.
