My HS-121 with TwoSix decals. About 6 weeks into it. Started out short on parts and a decal deal fell through but Hannant's hooked me up. Have a look.

Good looking model in the hybrid BEA/BA livery but it should have the registration in white on the upper right and lower left wings to be totally accurate.

Nice work. I have a couple of these kits in the stash. How were the TwoSix decals?

Cheers, Aaron

Hey Aaron,


The decals were awesome.  They goe on real smooth and the Micro Sol I used made them settle in so nice they look painted on.  Well worth the wait from Hannant's.  Only mod I did was to correct the location of the nose gear and I semi-boxed in the nose gear well.

PhilB Wing corrected, thanks for the catch.

Cool,

Chris,

Thanks for the input. I've got a couple of TwoSix sets in the queue right now — Gulf Air VC-10 and Pan Am 707. I've been looking for something a little different for my Tridents. I like BEA and BA OK, but I've got other aircraft with those liveries. I'm leaning toward Air Ceylon.

Cheers, Aaron
