Civil aircraft for May

[F-27pax]

Only one this time. Some little technical problems stalled the others. This is the Accurate Airlines F-28-4000 with aftermarket Jet Set decals. The undercarriage legs for this kit are very fragile and they all broke off and had to be replace, with ones from the F-rsin kit. The decals are from a Jet Set decal sheet which was probably printed in the mid 1980s, ATI only flew F-28s in Western Australia under the 'Airlines of Western Australia' brand between 1981 and 1984. The decals were printed on yellow backing paper so I only discovered the had yellowed after it was too late. So this doesn't look too great, but it's too late to go back to improve things.

Still looks good there Leigh

let me check, I may have a set of someone's F28 decals, that had the titles, but no fuselage cheat line

[F-27pax]

The Jet Set decals sheet doesn't have the fuselage lines either, only the airline titles and tail logo. I had to make the lines myself which was one of the challenges of this model. I don't know what good putting the decals out in the sun for a week or so would do because of the yellow backing paper which disguised the problem for me in the first place.
