Two KDC-10s
1
February 16, 2022Some years ago, I built a model of the KDC-10. Since there was no model in 1/72, except for a vacuform model, I was happy with the Hasegawa 1/200. After I finished the first model, I bought a second kit.2
February 16, 2022When the KDC-10 got a new paintscheme, I wanted to build this model. But there were no decals for that version. Then I met Rene Frans van Eijk on Facebook and he offered to make the decals for me.3
February 16, 2022I measured the aircraft so Rene-Frans would be able to make the correct decals.4
February 16, 2022I got a test print and it looked alright.5
February 16, 2022Starting to build it.6
February 16, 2022A coat of primer applied. I first painted the upperwing with light grey and wanted to mask it of for the aluminium and dark grey. But it was very difficult to see the panel lines.7
February 16, 2022Therefore I decided to enlarge the manual so I could use it to make a mask. I put a large piece of making tape on my desk and put the paper on top of it. Cutting along the lines of the manual provided me with the perfect mask!8
February 16, 2022When I received the final version, Rene-Frans had added two decals for the tail, but not the decals for the doors, I decided to make these decals myself. It was the first time and when I wanted to put them on the plane, I found out that I printed them on white paper. But a reprint, solved this problem,9
