Michael KohlAhhh, that's the way a 134 has to look like. Convincing weathering, nice color variation and fine details.

Alexander GrivonevThanks a lot, mates. Łukasz, the kit is very fine as all Zvezda's airliner kits except the kit decal that has got a yellow tint but I did not use it anyway

Łukasz GlińskiThx, good to know, it's on the shopping list. I don't care about the OOB decals neither. 🙂
Wow, masking over decals, brave you! (I already regretted it couple of times)

Alexander Grivonev"masking over decals" oh you have no idea how many times I stepped on this rake 😄 I "bathed" the decals in several layers of future, also with the idea in mind to get rid of the decal film edges. I think it happens when you enthusiastically pull the mask off to see the result and rip the decal off. You have to keep it in mind and be veeeery careful

Slavo HazuchaSeriously nice and precise work in 144-scale - particularly the details around the windows - this would be good in 72-scale (at least) - and still not a very big model there... lovely 👍

Bernhard SchrockAn unbelievable level of details and realism! I agree Slavo: looks like 1:72! Chapeau!!

Alexander Grivonevthx guys!
Bernhard, I actually stumbled upon your build on Modellversium from 10 years ago. Don`t you think it`s time for another airliner? 😉

Bernhard SchrockAlexander, when you wrote that my Tupolev is ten years old, I didn't want to believe it. I looked at Modelversium… It's even 11 years! Incredible how time flies! I checked here and there at SCM and found f.e. that my SeaSprite is nine years old!!! Incredible.
Yes: you are right. It is time to build another airliner. Do you have an idea? Maybe we could do a groupbuild? Cheers Bernhard

Alexander GrivonevAn airliner groupbuild? Hell yeah I'm in. Question is how precise we define the topic "airliner". Just airliner in general or do we want to focus at a specific era/type/class etc? Ideas for categories:
early jets
trijet airliners (I'll do 1011 Tristar 😛)
turboprop
some fancy liveries

Andy BallCrusty Creme indeed! Love the engine work, Alexander.
I don't do airliners (used to 144th)…I still think the shape of a Comet Mk.I and the SA Caravelle are class!

Alexander GrivonevThx Andy! Seems like we are narrowing down the topic to early jets?

Łukasz GlińskiMy proposal would be to pick up as wide approach as possible, so my Pinkie could count 😋
