Title: Anigrand 1/72 VC-10 - BA
Post by: Madhatter on March 29, 2019, 04:19:52 PM

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 fantastic and one of my all-time favorite airliner too!

I've never seen a commercial VC-10 done better. Love the livery too!

That does inspire.  Now I keep thinking of a VC-10 in Royal Flight markings as an interesting whiff.
