Airfix old kit #6179 in 1/144th scale from the 80's represents the Lufthansa livery from 1968 to 1988.This is a typical Airfix airliner, somewhat simplified in details but looking actually quite good when finished - capturing the essence of the original plane nicely.
Decals were quite fragile, I brushed a thin layer of floor wax on them before applying. The cheatline was ruined beyond salvation, however, so I used a short stripe as a masking reference only.
This model was airbrushed with Revell enamels exclusively, gloss white with satin blue and gray. Final gloss coat is Johnson wax on fuselage and engine nacelles only.
Cockpit windows, tail flag and pylon details are Revell Airbus kit leftovers, all other decals are from the kit sheet.
This model looks better than I expected, A300B may not be the most original design or particulary stylish but the workmanlike livery suits it just fine.
