BEA Trident 1/144 Airfix

Another tri-motor, the British European Airways Hawker Siddley 121 Trident 1C from the Airfix Classic Arliners - Special Edition kit with TwoSix Limited Edition aftermarket decals.

I got this kit second hand with no decals, which was fine because this BEA "Red Square" livery decals were available. Building was a bit challenging, as this kit is already quite old.

Hand painted with paintbrush, final glosscoat Johnson floor wax. Nice livery, could have done better with a little bit of luck with the cockpit window placement but like the model nevertheless.

Another nice civil airliner kit from Zvezda, easy to build with almost no need for filler. Thin and fragile decals were a bit yellowed as usual, but look fine on the model. Painted by airbrush and Revell enamels, small details with a paintbrush. Final glosscoat Johnson floor wax.
