I love Caravelle

This is the 1/200 Heller garbage. But decals are good. In airliners clean painting and good decals are all you need.

This is even smaller:
Academy's 1/360 Tu-144

I added some bits like retractable canard planes, which I find really cool B) . A dropping nose, again very cool, and landing gear with those odd mian legs

Nice work ! I should say, great work ! Very nicely done for such a small scale. It's hard to believe that you Concordeski is that 360th one ! Can you take another pi of them with a coin or something to illustrate the size ?

Cheers

Woah those are some really impressive airliners, ysi! I've always liked the Caravelle and you've certainly done it justice! Your Concordski is great too and your detail mods are wonderful! Great stuff!

But ysi, a carravelle is bigger than a cessna... :dum:

Oooh I don't know... The nose contours seem a bit dodgy (should look identical to a Comet as they used the same nose), but she looks okay for 1/200th. In fact I think I'll pick one up next time I see one on the shelves, might have some good whiffing possibilities.

3-engined?

Move the wings back and add canards?

Great work, Carlos!!!
And you only did very light surgery!!

Oops, forgot to mention - DAMNED FINE JOB ON THOSE!!

Nice job!

I love teh Concordski. I have that same model, and almost every model in that Academy range (all are "box scale", between 1/260 and 1/480). They're nice kits, and great for rescaling. Some lack landing gear, though.

I'll second that. They're a fun build, nothing fancy. I've got the B-70 almost finished in a pre-war scheme of blue fuselage and yellow wings, just for a laugh. ^_^
