restored this some time ago and then decided the original finish wasn't good enough, so i clear coated it a second time.

filled the casting pits with 2D primer (nowadays i'd sand and polish them out)

Image
all over silver
Image
then mask for white
Image
apply decals
Image
how does he get the black radome so symetrical?

i bought the box and decals from Terry Hallard. he's specialised in reproducing the rare issues of the caravelle, since i'm sure eveyone's aware the originals fetch thousands of quid, whenever they come onto the market.

too rich for me. this one was cheap in comparism.
