Anigrand 1/72 VC-10 - BA

[sykotik]

Hi guys

This is my second to last project for a while before I take a much needed modelling break. I've had this in the unfinished pile for ages and decided to get it done. It was originally going to be in the RAF 20th Anniversary scheme but I got tired of looking at BOG, so I decided to liven it up somewhat into this. I went with the Landor scheme as I thought it would suit it nicely.
I used a custom mix of paints and the decals are a mix of Draw Decals for the BA writing, 26 Decals fir the windows and a friend of mine did up the tail logo from an image I found. Kit very kindly offered to do it for me, however, my other friend jumped in and completed them for me
I had to do the doors myself using a custom mask based on the dimensions of the 26 set (British Caledonia). They aren't the best but they'll do

Anyways, enough talking, here it is - my Landor VC-10:



















That's it for now, but thanks for looking

Beautiful!

Nice.

[Hobbes]

Nicely done, and that scheme suits it very well.

What Harro said, the Landor scheme REALLY suits the Ten, and you made a superb job of it too. 

Sad that BA canned them all before they introduced the Landor scheme. You've inspired me to do the same with one of my many 1/144 Tens.

Not usually a fan of civil birds, but this work is fantastic! Well done, good sir!

[Dizzyfugu]

Oh, that's looking good! 

[loupgarou]

Congratulations, fantastic job.

Nicely done! The VC-10 is a pretty plane.

thanks guys - I knew it would be received well and appreciated here. I posted this on another site and despite over a 50 views not one person posted a thought on it. Unless it has a F in front of it and carries weapons, they aren't interested. I don't know why I bother posting anything there.
Anyways, thanks again for the positive feedback fellas

Their loss.

Oh my, that's superb 

[Dizzyfugu]

Hmm, it's picky, but I dare to ask: is the BA emblem on the tail fin somewhat tilted backwards? Shouldn't the waterlin between the white and the upper blue section be parallel with the spine? 

Neverthless: awesome work - this thing must be HUGE!

[sykotik]

You're quite right it should be, but I painted it before I stuck the tail on and it was level but until you pointed that out, I forgot that the tail sat at a slant. Whoops  Nothing I can do about that now.
It is rather on the large side I must admit

I didn't want to say anything because otherwise it's a superb job. I hope I can get the Airways Vacuform 1/72 kit I've got anywhere near as good
