| Model finish |
The 301-C airliner is supplied in
a standard white with cockpit and window decals as illustrated. It is up to the modeller to
paint or produce their own graphics.
You may request that
the fuselage to be supplied white and that the cockpit & fuselage decals
are not assembled. This will allow you to paint the model in an airliner scheme you
prefer and then apply the window decals.
This question is
frequently asked -can I have a model built up in my choice of airliner colours?
In some cases this has
been possible. I view each project on its merits. Considerable cost is added to the kit
cost.
Finishing a model in any particular airliners' colours requires a number of
skilled computer hours to produce the graphics. Additionally many hours are
consumed in painting the model. The design of decals can add considerably to the
overall model cost.
Additionally some colours & designs can be difficult. For example the
painting of a fuselage using two-tone colours. This type of work becomes the
domain of artists and EDFmodel will not attempt this type of work.

scheme.

| Additional
construction required by modeller |
To complete the
final assembly of the model and a successful flight will require the input of an
experienced modeller.
The 301-C airliner is shipped in several sub-assemblies requiring
final assembly upon arrival. To allow for the shipping the wings
are supplied in two parts. They require gluing together. Installation of hardware
not supplied with the kit is also required.
The final assembly should take less than a weekend to complete.
