Revell B787-8 Jetstar

[B_finch]

Hi All,

I thought I might actually post something that I am working on at the moment.

I am hoping thus will be ready for expo this yr. here is some progress shots.

Decals I will be using are from F dcal, they look great, just some errors with regards to Jetstar being Star Alliance & Skyteam members. and the VH-DRM rego.



Engine progress.




Here is where they're at now. ready to have some of the panel lines re scribed then ready for primer and topcoat.


wings and hori stabs/elevators are not glued in as yet, still have a bit of work ( ALOT ) to do to the body hence the pencil marks. with the official A/CAM approved decal.


And Finally how she will end up being displayed as


Cheers
Brendon

G'day Brendon,
Thanks for joining the A/CAM membership mate, I'm really pleased to have you as part of our group.
That is some pretty impressive progress on the 787 so far bud.
The one thing I love about the 787 is that the model kit is made out of the same stuff as the real jet
It was good briefly catching up at the PC Air show a few weeks ago mate.
That's a bloody nice sticker you got on display in the background there I will be giving out a few more of these at Model Expo.
Regards
Ray

Thanks Guys.
It really is a sexy looking Airliner.
Ray, I reckon It's going to have about as much putty in it as the 1:1 scale one as well.

Very nice work so far.




Just wish the 1:1 models came in a red & white colour scheme.

Looking good so far Brendon . Nothing wrong with the decals Brendon , as they were for the proposed scheme at the time the aircraft was ordered . Should look great when finished.

Nice work Brendon... Great jet.. Can't wait to see your model done..attracted allot of bad press but I still think it will be the benchmark when it's all sorted...

Salty / Ray... Few weeks ago I was at the holding point rwy34 in Melbourne.. Jetstar 787 was in front of mainline 767.. I can only imagine what the mainline guys were saying.. Probably can't write it here!!

Nice work Brendan. I have this one to do as well.

Scored these a few months back. Good luck in getting them as it is like a lottery! It took 7 mths of trying to get these. From our old mate Gio or raffa chris or Brazil decals etc.

Thanks salty and CaptNg. Tony, I had thought about using the guy from ARC, but with the hassle of having to wait months for it, I can live with the DRM rego.

I had intended to use a tamiya spray bomb for the wings/ engines and the horizontal stabs. Which failed miserably today. So I have stripped it and will decant the paint into a bottle to airbrush it on
