Airbus A321 A couple of new pics with new decals

[John Everett]

Excellent! I really like the rubber seal strip along the wing fairing join.

[wbill76]

Looking good Marc! Love the composite mix on the wings.

[wing_nut]

John, Bill... thanks guys.

That light at the end of the tunnel is gettin' brighter. A day for the decal to really set up and some clear coat to seal it all. I'll be detailing the LG in between.

[wouter]

Wow, Marc that's great stuff mate. Great looking bird!

Cheers

[wing_nut]

Hey wouter... thanks.

[Leon]

Excellent work Marc! Those decals looks fantastic.

[martslay]

AWESOME!!!!

[Deleted]

Totally agree!

[John Everett]

Fabulous! Weathering?

[wing_nut]

Thanks a lot guys.

John, I think I gonna leave it clean. Needless to say I've look and a gazillion photos of this thing and1 thing I noticed is that all look pretty nice. Maybe cuz they're still in he midst of the re-paint so they are still clean. Still not decided yet. If any it will be very light.

[wbill76]

Came out looking great with the markings Marc, nice and smooth!

[wing_nut]

Thanks Bill.

[wing_nut]

Calling this 99.9999 % done. I am just waiting for some way cool 3D cockpit window to apply then final clear coat. But for all intents and purposes this baby is done. Need a bigger backdrop so beet pics will follow.

[John Everett]

[wing_nut]

They wont spin in normal law. They wont even stall unless you switch off a couple of computers.

[wouter]

Oh yeah, that looks very good. Lovely running gear Marc!

Cheers

Very cool!
Although I never got that thing about turning off electronic devices - if they were that dangerous, people wouldn't bother smuggling explosives onboard, they'd just turn on their mobile/cell phone/mp3/computer?

[wing_nut]

Thanks Andy. In this case it's all about that tail.

Thanks wouter. I tied to do of the piping and brakes line but I think the scale is starting to get beyond me.

Thanks dierk. I've heard that that is either not as true as it may have once been and there really is no reason we can't do that now. Dunno. But what I do know is how much it will suck being on a transcontinental flight stuck next to a donkey braying into his phone the whole flight.

[wbill76]

Looks like a successful rotation off the runway Marc!

It's a holdover from earlier days when electronics were more susceptible to emp or emi interference. One person using something was never a big deal, but having a plane full of people all doing it would be. There's also the issue of people having stuff out during take off and landing, the two most dangerous points for accidents in the flight. Those operating electronics could become projectiles, prevent or slow cabin evacuation, etc. These days the restrictions are more habit than necessary.

he Authentic Decals 3D cockpit decals arrived yesterday and they really look great. I made the small decals for the nose gear doors. Retook some photos.

[wbill76]

Those pilots look happy! Nice added touch for sure.

[Leon]

Those decals look great Marc!

[John Everett]

Those are wild!

The model needs to be on the stand, though. Just setting on its gear, it's far too tall with the struts, "Weight off wheels".

[wing_nut]

Thanks fellas

John, if I had 1/2 a brain I could made the 2 sets of LG removable for in flight and on the ground modes. So it's weird that I didn't do that since lately I feel like I only have 1/2 a brain left.

[WigWag Workshop]

Sorry I missed this build! I been wanting to do a commercial wingie for my Nephew is a airliner fan, and a Air Traffic Controller. Thank You for the inspiration and ideas.

Thanks Steven. I hope the seeds planted sprout.
