Clearwater Models: TCA VISCOUNT (Glencoe)

TCA VISCOUNT (Glencoe)

This is the awful 1/96 scale model by Glencoe of the Vickers Viscount in Trans Canada Airlines (1955-1964) colours from the early 1960s. All the windows were puttied over and replaced with black decals, as was the windscreen. The body was sanded smooth to remove the heavy panel lines. The aircraft was painted with Alclad aluminium, and the decals applied using a lot of decal setting solution, especially in the nose region for the compound curve. It has won an award for airliners, beating an identical kit.
