Looking great so far mate

[RayS]

Thanks again Paul,

Winglets created



and fitted.. with Beluga wingtip as reference

Seriously you blokes that scratch build stuff do brilliant work

[RayS]

Ta Paul, it comes pretty easy these days, just hack up some plastic and reshape it. Not rocket science!

Some masking done and ready for some colour other than white

Some purple and grey paint went on last night but it looks like my observation that the crashed FedEx jet was an A300 is flawed as pointed out to me on another forum.

The aircraft was in fact an MD-11, so I suppose this build no longer fits the aim of the exercise.

I will finish it but I am not sure it will appear on the ACAM tables at Expo.

Masking off, some touch ups and repairs required





Looks like the humbrol silver has struck again, paint lifted after removing masking



I also think the fin leading edge strip is too wide so I will remask and paint it.

[RayS]

Tail resprayed , touch ups to go



and wing rubbed back ready for more paint

[RayS]

Done....
