Łukasz GlińskiWelcome.
I'm in the bug-hutning (nomen omen 😉) mode, while reading the booklet:
- the decal numbering differs between the instructions and the printout 🙁 (e.g. decal 39/32, 38/33 or 43, which probably is 34 actually, not sure)
- PP6 part - it's not optional, it's just a part of BAe 125 cockpit
- seats are marked with "Leather" (K) colour, but somebody added "grey" 😮

Łukasz GlińskiTook me some time, but I found it, it's white! Undercarriage legs are marked the same and photos say it's white. Phew...

Łukasz GlińskiWelcome, I have sealed the cockpit today and I'm preparing for some sanding sessions soon 🙂

Thomas KolbThat dashboard looks really nice, I hope something of it is still visible with everything closed up.

Roy McKayLooking good. Nice work. What would it take to turn one of these into a BAe 125-700? I got one to use the engines on a Matchbox 125-600 but liking the look of the kit too much....

Łukasz GlińskiWelcome mates, good to see you here.
@Roy: Wiki states:
"BAe 125 800 – increased wingspan, streamlined nose, tailfin extension, increased fuel capacity, first corporate jet to feature an EFIS cockpit, upgraded engines, first flight 26 May 1983."
That means a lot of scratchbuilding me thinks.

Łukasz GlińskiLong awaited update 🙂 I managed to handle the main decals (the big wave) and it turns out:
- I should relied less on the instructions, the engines were painted bit better
- As there are not too many pics of that livery (I managed to find just a single one!) and it seems to be highly temporary, I'm tending to assume the engine supports were not covered by the waves 🙂
PS. Still working on brushpainting the leading edges, forgot to spray them first and don't want to have the alu overspray.

CuajeteFast (and furious?? 😄), Łukasz!
I see that you have applied the fast method of Andy's school 😛
Looks great so far! What kind of thread did you use for the 4 antennas?

Łukasz GlińskiThanks, fully agree 👍
Meanwhile I found out the Hataka Signal blue is almost the same shade as the blue decal.
I will wait few days to have the brushpainting version delivered - decided to join the blue decals this way. Not going to risk the masking over the decals.

Łukasz GlińskiSmall update - canopy is dirty on the inside (leaving it), wheels and covers added. Started washing, that will take some time as I don't like it that much.

Łukasz GlińskiThank you, your comments are very motivating to get it out of the workshop 😉
I'm a fan of The Great Wave of Kanagawa, so this one was a must-have 🙂

Łukasz GlińskiGlad you like it, much aprecciated 👍
You may believe it or not, but that sunset scenery has been created using 2 lamps and the hangar on my workbench 🙂 It's too dark lately to take real sunshine pics.
