ACAM Model Expo 2019 Challenge Build Official Thread.

What about going the other way time wise but staying WIF and putting it in the Starmark scheme?

So I take it that this is what you will be doing ?

I also thought about a TAA and QF scheme as well (with cheat lines of course!)

But I think the Thai Air Force scheme wins....

[Ansett A330]

OK if Ray doesn't want to do it either that as a WIF or the Saudia one as a real one that is if I can remember if I have an Airfix 732 and if I do where the heck I put it. Had a look up here in CQ and haven't got one so maybe have one in Brisvegas but don't know when I'll be back there at this point in time. When does it have to be finished by? (Same question for the A300 prototype too!)

As per the name....the Challenge Build needs to be finished by Model Expo next year. It is planned that all Challenge Build entries will be entered into the Airliner Category.
As to your A300 prototype....see below quote from Group Build forum:
The History Makers: Individual Aircraft Involved In Significant Historical Or Other Note-Worthy Events.
The GB will formally commence on the 1st December 2016 and conclude on the 1st June 2019 .

Thanks for that.

Given the progress (or lack thereof) on the A300 in the last year or so to have any chance of finishing either I'll have to work out a Plan and make sure I stick to it!

[tor lives]

OK so, change of plan......I will now be doing a TAME 737-200. This is in actual fact a military jet in an unusual and very attractive colour scheme.









This aircraft did however suffer an unfortunate fate

Ray is now doing my originally-planned RTAF 737-200.
I am also planning another unusual military 737-200 and thanks goes to Brad for supplying the undercarriage for this project.

Ok I found some decals. These were going for a ridiculous price, less than 3 dollars AUS on Hannets, so I got them.

[tor lives]

OK now that is just cool Brad!!

I know ay. If anyone was interested I think they had multiple sets and there were several sheets on sale for the 737-200.

So I've had a change of plan. Due to this jet needing some NMF and the finish not up to NMF standard this will now be an Ethiopian 737-200.

This is all but done for priming etc. I've got 2 small areas to sand and reprime then it'll be time for the Tamiya white primer. I've sanded the primer with 4000 grit Micromesh pads and I'll be doing the same after it's in white.
