One thing Oggie

I't a different aeroplane

Best to use the one you are painting as individual fleet members can vary and can contain a slightly different livery variation or could have mistakes

For example Vanguard G-APEI, the first of the type painted in BEA Flying Jack, had a different arragement of the cheatline beneath the cockpit and around the nose.

In the case of the last two CAT Superfreighters the French flag was painted back to front on the starboard side.

It's a minefield at times :lol:

Have to be more careful in the future. :brick:

Hi Oggy

Looking good

I hope you're not keeping the white panel lines on the blue...........nothing spoils a paint more than when painters stil light lines over dark areas :worried:

Also have you got the handed logos.....that is usually the logo was different port/starboard although some Heralds at least were painted with the same both sides :think:

Hi Garry

Good point about the lines will sort this out first before uploading, i have managed to ensure the logo handlings are correct this time. I have finally mastered the art of drawing curves so the rear cargo hatch area matchs the underside " no raparound cheet lines".
Have a look at the link and please comment.

Perhaps someone would be kind enough to repaint a PAD Shorts 330 in Eastern Airlines, (UK Eastern that is).
