Hi! Another 1/72nd Welsh modes kit I'm working on. This time it's an Airbus. I had to shorten 320 it to 319. No BPK windshield this time, so a bit more work with clear styrene for that. It's looking ok so far.

Quick start, the windscreen looks great.

Did you use any of the kit supplied clear parts or make from scratch?

Some progress on this one. I've painted the flightdeck. I had to raise the floor as it was too low. I also got test prints of the BPK A320 seats wich I used. So the kit should come out eventualy. I'm really looking forward to it.
I closed fuselage halves filled and sanded all the seams including clear parts, wich I then polished to get them transparent again. The kit is now primed and fuselage is rescribed. Another big problem were kits engines. Shape and size are very wrong, so I asked my friend to draw me new engine gondolas. I printed them and they look much better. I'm also making this one flaps down so I had to modify wings too. No help from Laci this time. :D
Thats it for now. I still have a lot to do.

Lovely cockpit work.

Boy those engines are so different, I am assuming the one one the pylon is the corrected part?

Thanks Ray! Yes that one is corect. Well at least much closer to original.

I have this one ready for paint. I scribed new panel lines, added some details on the belly and instaled landing gear.

Still need to make slats and flaps and a few details. I noticed wheels are also too small, so I will have to do something about that too.

Thanks for looking in!
