Awesome job. Except I find myself going "Chatter chatter chatter" and flashing a torch on and off on the wings as I do a low pass over Wanaka

More WIP to keep all keen, but 2 questions - Is the Chinese roundel top and bottom of both wings?
Does anyone have a good closeup shot of the nose art/chinese writing?

by **Ace** » Wed Apr 16, 2008 12:36 am

Only image on my photobucket showing writing at the moment. Will have a look tomorrow for any more shots.

Roundel on top and bottom of wing.

And don't forget the big red nose, and the '88'. Looking bloody good elsewise!

Thanks Ace, best photo i've seen/found so far with the writing clear, or without reflections
Further update below, still to add numbers and starboard tiger/Brietling shield, do wings and good clean up

by **Charl** » Wed Apr 16, 2008 8:16 am

Some starboard bits from donated photos, may be of help

by **Ace** » Wed Apr 16, 2008 10:34 am

Found on airliners.net.

Something I've just noticed also is that the Breitling Shield has been removed recently.

And is it at all possible to remove the wires strapped to the wings?

by **Fauville** » Wed Apr 16, 2008 7:48 pm

Thanks All, will remove the badges, unfortuneately the wires are most likely part of the model itself, obviously they didn't have little UHF aerials sprouting from the spine back in the day, needed the clothelines to talk, oh well as close as can be.

Lol, thought I saw a couple of Watties Baked Beans cans dangling behind ZK-RMH at Wanaka

No big worry about the aerials, still will look awesome!

Let us know if you need any more images/info.
