Hello again!  This is my second article on ARC; it is about a model of a civil airliner: Olympic Airways' Skyvan.  The kit comes from Airfix and is very old, meaning that there are a lot of fit problems, inaccurate detail and much more!  I really needed tons of filler in order to get it straight and aligned, I had to sand for hours in order to reshape it but, after all, I was pleased with the final outcome.  The model was painted with Humbrol enamel colours.  I decided not to weather it and I finally sprayed it with semi-gloss varnish.
