A-Model Falcon 50 1/72

[@modelermark172]

This is an interesting model kit, and your build is excellent; all the more so as this is a short-run kit! As an aside, probably the most famous private individual to have owned a Falcon 50 (she owns a Falcon 900, now) was Taylor Swift. This model in Taylor's "Blue 13" livery would make an interesting finish for this kit, but I doubt aftermarket decals are available. 'Dad Joke' Time: If I ever build this model in Taylor Swift's markings, I would display it alongside my 1/72nd scale Bell X-1, to contrast the first aircraft that "broke" the sound barrier, with the first aircraft that "broke-up with" the sound barrier . . . . Seriously, your review and build lets me know this kit is worth getting. 15th like.

Thank you for your review and comment. Actually the Falcon 50 did past Mach 1 during the test flight so it would be a great idea 😉

Yeah, A-Model doing short run kits - not for beginners. Really enjoyed the build! Great job on and it is fun to see unusual subject.. 👍

[@airlinersmodelmania]

Indeed, not for beginners at all, but you can get some pretty decent result with a bit of time and patience 😉

Wow, great tuitorial. and great build. I'm personally not a huge fan of the Amodel kits although I am looking with interest at the recently released Embraer 145 kits. I see you have a excellent solution to avoid messing around with the fiddly fuselage windows. Are you using a PVA glue for your passenger windows?

[@airlinersmodelmania]

Thank you for your nice comment. Me too not a big fan of A-model, but they some planes that I really like. I had also serious thoughts about the Embraer as well. I like the Crossair livery... For the windows I have been using Micro Christal clear purchased on model shops. I think PVA could give maybe a milky aspect to those Windows . I hope this help

Cool ! What type of paints are you using ? Acrylic or enamel?

[@airlinersmodelmania]

Thanks, I am using Acrylic, easier to clean

[@benjaminishak6192]

@@airlinersmodelmaniaok, did you do any varnish coats before or after decals ?

[@airlinersmodelmania]

Depending on the model, but normally not

[@benjaminishak6192]

@@airlinersmodelmania interesting ! So there is nothing over the decals to protect them ?
