Project A320

[RayS]

Very nice Leigh, I has not a real fan of that Ansett scheme.

I have a couple of A320 kits in the stash as well as a couple of A319s and don't have any idea on schemes. Your builds have sparked an interest in them now

Here are four Revell A.320s ready for the paint shop, all destined to wear Air New Zealand liveries. The engine pods are already painted but now I have to remember which ones are white and which one is black. Planning ahead is always a good idea.

Here's the next one off the production line, Air New Zealand in Star Alliance livery thanks to Oldmodels decals.

Those are really coming along nicely
what paint do you use for the grey wings?

[F-27pax]

The grey is an automotive lacquer made for me by my local automotive paint shop. They do colour matching so I took them my cans of Xtracolor Boeing and Airbus greys and they made me a two liter can of each. That's enough for more than my modelling life. If you happen to be coming south again let me know and I'll slip you a couple of bottles.

Here's the next one, your standard black tail Air New Zealand. It's made using the Revell kit and Oldmodels, 8A and Ric Warcup decals. Due to some decal problema the other two Air New Zealand models are still in the hangar at the moment until replacements arrive.

Here's the next one out of the paint shop. This time the original Ansett A.320 livery. So far as I could find out there were no 1/144 decals for this one so I bought the Hawkeye Boeing 737-200 set and enlarged the tail markings and logo a bit so they fitted better.

Good one Leigh, nice work with the decals
