TAP Portugal Caravelle VIR

Hello Colleagues,
Here is my 1st fully finished custom. Ex Hogan Swissair 1/200 Caravelle turned into TAP Portugal CS-TCB thanks to F-DCAL set and few free hours

Great color scheme - I like this Portuguese bird, so instead of looking for Small World, inspired by Retroguy pictures of SE-210, I decided to make my own. I used some putty to cover ugly Hogan mould seams, few additional decals for doors, corroguard on wings, add antennae, beacon lights and..

Wow looks fantastic, great job! Is that weathering on the engines?

dash7 · 07-23-2012, 04:31 PM

Thank you. Well, exhaust pipes should be slightly better, and reversers area.. Yes, call it weathering

Great job! One day I'll try to make one in 1/500 scale for myself...

Thank you. Customization of 1/500 - this should be demanding, newer tried to decal such small scale. I wonder if effects are good..

VERY nice job!!

I have a Hogan Air France one that I'd dearly love to change the just windscreen to one that looks more accurate by removing the current one and replacing with an accurate decal.
