When it is all done, I would highly rrecomend either a light gloss clearr paint, or some people use furniture polish, you would have to try that on a printed sheet to see how it reacts. This will make dusting the model a breeze in the future.

I agree.
I have already bought Americana Gloss finisher spray. It's acrylic and doesn't damage the ink and doesn't wrinkle the paper

Hello all
Small update - engines and pylons

No bad things to mention, fit is close to perfect.

 

[Boris]

Hello everybody
This beauty is finished.
First I made the wheels.

 

[Boris]

Then I made the flaps and ailerons actuators cowlings

 

[Boris]

And then the real fun began - the landing
Gear.
First the main gear

 

[Boris]

Then the front

 

[Boris]

Afterwards came the antennas et voila, the model is ready.

 

[Boris]

What can I say about this model? It has a very unique scheme, parts fit is awesome, landing gear in 1:120 is quite a challenge. I wouldn't advise making landing gear to a novice builder. This model can be made without the landing gear and it will look awesome.

In all, very beautiful and quite easy to build, except, probably, the landing gear.
I am very happy with the result!

You did a great job on this project! It looks AMAZING!

 

[zathros]

You did a great job!!. The landing gear came out fantastic, something you do not see often done on airline models. Great job building this.

 

[Boris]

Thank you!

 

[zathros]

Thank You!! Thanks for a great build thread. So much useful information, and you interacted with members in a way that set a great example.
