Description

Overall construction was fairly okay. Had a hard time masking the engine pylon for painting, engine itself got three colors, silver, light blue, and burnt iron, pylon itself got three colors too. I used up almost half a roll of Tamiya masking tape just to paint this airbus. Decal alignment was considerably hard, four pieces of decal on fuselage, front&back and left&right need to align carefully, I have tried my best but still cant get it perfectly align. There is a white hairline on the decal sheet, looks like there is a crack on the decal but infect it is due to printing defects, can be noticed but I am not sure it is just this decal sheet or it is the same to others.
I had a hard time pressing down decal on the lower fuselage due to uneven surfaces, but with lots of decal softener, I managed to press down nicely.
I think it is best to put this airliner on a stand in taking off position, as decal concentration is on the lower fuselage.
