Airbus A-321 ART

[Spey_Phantom]

Backhistory:

Following joining NATO and the purchase of F-16C/D's, a dessision was made to completly upgrade the Polish Air Force to a full NATO responce force.
this paved the way to supplement the F-16's and an order was placed for 36 ex-US-navy F-23A/B's to replace the MIG-29's, and 2 Airbus A-321 tankers.

cant think of anything else for the back history yet.

The model:

its a 1/144 revell A-321, HDU's are made with spare 1/144 F-16 external tanks from a revell or academy kit and the dynamo propelors are from some spare parts i had left from 1/700 airfix falklands-fleet, the boom on the rear is made from a friveshaft from a 1/400 clemenceau carrier, with scratchbuild extention and boomrudders.

work is still in progress on this model, but its going to take a while to finish the color sheme, witch im planning to do the same as the polish MIG-29's.

Looking good so far.  I remember that A321 being a nice kit.

That's some really incredible work there Nils! I really like how you fabricated all those refueling bits and bobs. I'm sure I'm not the only one anxiously awaiting your next update on this one!

Nice looking plane!

One problem, though...

"new" polish markings (since early 90's) have white in a top left corner, and they should be on the tail and under the wings, only.
