...looks like it got a job at Bombardier. I see why it was fired after its first job

now that a paint job thatwe can all do!

THAT sir, is uber-sexy! That would be great to do in plastic. I think the contest JMNs would just loose their minds if that was presented..........

Scooterman, they'd have to be white cloth triple wrapped just to contain the post-fuse-blowing seizure.

That is one cool Bohmbahrd'yay! The painting crew must have had the time of their life ( or sent to the funny farm) while doing that.

No they wouldn't, for the simple reason that it is real world and photographically documented.

We just do it on something else then, say a Hasegawa kit

That was actually on the CBC news a few weeks back, Bombardier fired a whole shift for their lousy PSR techniques.

You mean real aircraft don't have rivets and panel lines like that normally ?

Just thinking, a WW1 plane would look good in NMF with rivets, something like a Fokker Triplane or a Sopwith Camel

Hobbes · January 23, 2009, 05:34:34 AM

Bloody hell. Are we sure that plane isn't missing its outer skin panels?

sotoolslinger · January 23, 2009, 05:44:42 AM

Possibly the funniest real paint job ever

Taiidantomcat · January 23, 2009, 11:10:00 AM

Excellent

Spey_Phantom · January 23, 2009, 11:12:06 AM

awesome paintjob

if i ever get my hands on another revell 1/144 CL-601, you bet thats gonna be the new paintjob

Weaver · January 24, 2009, 01:34:09 AM

Excellent!

You can now dig out all those over-rivetted kits, paint them silver without tediously sanding them all down first, and simply adjust the back story to have them painted by Bombadier...

Wasn't there another bizjet (maybe a learjet?) with a similar scheme a while back?
