Having started the repaint yesterday evening I wanted to get it finished tonight, and here it is.

Little flight to north-eastern France (needed to get some more Champagne in as bubbly stocks are getting a bit low. For Mrs Rollerball doncherknow..

Thanks. As you probably know from the other stuff I've done, I like the detail. See the blanked off port hole in front of the door on the starboard side and the weird 'hinges' and markings on the rear door on the same side. It's also important for lettering to be the right face and size (as far as possible) and be above (or below) and spanning the right number of passenger windows. And for the red 'cut here' marks to be in the right places.

Trouble is that with many models it can take ages to get it all right and I spent weeks and weeks working on my 767 range until I had to give it up in the end.

The other one I enjoyed doing was my Airbus A320-211 'Sterntaler' which I think was as accurate as it's possible to get - missed a few stone chips though  :)

Never uploaded it because PA wouldn't give permission on account of their repaint policy. Maybe now they are no longer around (??) I should just go ahead. What do people think?
