- For the Boeing skins, the plastic that is used to protect the skin is of a greenish / blueish color. You can see the shiny aluminum skin through the thin, plastic sheeting.<br />I don't know about scAirbus... I refuse to touch them.0
- Karin... YES! I will definately be interested in seeing what you can make for an airplane load.0
- Karin, i'd be wanting one of those. see what you can come up with<br /> Steve aka "Slugger"
0 - Wow, you guys sure have moved along quickly with the fuselage project. Keep it coming, maybe I'll get around to putting old time biplane loads together :-)0
- john, great job so far. i'm also working on an airplane fusalage car and wing car.however i'm useing the 1:220 scale military cargo kits that i have.i was going to go with the 737-800 fusalage and follow boeings car but i thought some thing different would be more fun. i have some flat cars ordered to modify so i'll post some photo's latter. Again great job and keep the work coming<br /> Steve aka "Slugger"0
- Ulie, the green used on airbus is different then the green used by Boeing. The green used by Airbus is opague. Boeing use match skin aluminum, and airbus doesnt. Thats why you rarely see airbus is bare metal colors. Only AA has bared metal airbus, but they are clear coated. I would paint the fuselage metal color or glue metal foil, then paint it with clear green. That probably will give it the most realistic look.0
- Painting is one of the last steps in the production of an aircraft. The segments are just painted for protection. Mostly a kind of green. And not always the perfectly same shade at that.<br /><br />The only part that is often painted before assembled to the plane is the tailfin. Those are painted as soon they are ready for assembly to the rest of the plane.<br /><br />Seen this on a video describing the assembly of an Airbus A321.0
- As far as I can tell fuselages are rail transported before painting in livery. In the 70s and early 80s they were Aluminium coloured. Later loads seem to have a protective plastic coating, which give them a green metallic colour0
- Great idea!<br />Are you going to paint it in an aluminum color or an airline livery?0
