Man space addition

I couldn't resist, a 70% scale of the T7-300 panel in poster form, much bigger than I thought...and there's the overhead and center console as well...glad I didn't opt for the full-size version.
SWMBO is ok with this part...not sure how to sneak the rest in ...may have to move it to the lads area.

Ooooh ... I likey !!!!

PS where is that Parcel Air 737 model from in the foreground, is it a kitset you painted?

[Splitpin]

The 737 is a kit from a company called Skyline (Daco) models. I think it's the best 73-400 in 1/144, but hard to find now.(Ive got 3)
This one was a test run and far from perfect...but I like the way it came out. I love those old girls ... I'm a real Parcel air fan boy.



A little 1/144 GE-90.

That 737 has come up pretty well mate. Good work. You know the pitfalls now so you'll find the next one easier.

Cheers Nick, just a tester ....and much dirtier than the real PAK.
Lots of bits are not fitted, and the cargo door is wrong ....but, I have it on the desk for inspiration.

Wicked Marty !!! plenty of weathering there I see, like the real thing

[chopper_nut]

The weathering around the front door looks quite convincing. The next thing will be to take a knife to the join lines along the fuselage before painting. The intake ring and the wing roots look a bit tricky.

Young Nick, to be honest, I feel sorry for sacrificing that kit to fit and decal testing. I just threw it together.
However, I've learned a lot, and the next one will be worth showing. I will seek advice from you when I start.

Picking away at the TriStar, 747 is still on hold ...really need to settle on one subject

Cool model. If you changed the rego to PAT the weathering would be quite accurate

Thank you Sir , the proper build will be PAT . Will try to get some close-up detail shots of all her bits beforehand.
