Here's my attempt at the Finnair Retro-livery 'Silver Bird'. To be frank, I'm not particularily fond of this Revell kit although it is as nice as any of the modern Revell kits. The model does really look similar to the real thing, the proportions are about right but still I think it's not 100% accurate, can't say why but that's just what it feels like. Anyway, the TwoSix decals were nice, perhaps the blue shade is a tad too bright but I can easily live with it.
I wanted to build this model while the real Silver Bird is flying with this livery and I'm glad I made it. If you ask me, they should keep it like this forever, it's a very succesful modern adaptation of the original 1950's Finnair and even older Aero Oy painting schemes. But fortunately it isn't going to be repainted for a while yet. Well done, Finnair!
