Jul 18, 2023 · I've just put the finishing touches to this today: Mach 2's relatively recent release of the venerable Boeing 727 in 1/72nd scale: I used 26decals for the Alitalia scheme and Authentic Airliners' windows and cockpit - which look remarkably effective even in this larger scale.

Aug 4, 2018 · This is the first 1/144 scale kit I've built. Even so, the wingspan is about 12 inches. This was a test bed for working out a natural metal finish. I used AK Interactive aluminum, dark aluminum, and polished aluminum colors with no clear coat. Props done with a Molotow pen. I also see that polish...

Sep 17, 2022 · Good work Keith, especially on the prop. I'd forgotten all about this build (and this kit, actually). I'm surprised we aren't seeing more of them built here. As a guy who uses primer for almost everything, I think you're on the right track. The nacelles for my 262 have been filled, sanded and pri...

Sep 17, 2022 · The 2602 kit is for a U.S. AH-64E. Kit 2603 “E of the World” focuses on non-US AH-64Es. In reality, either will work for a US Apache since kit 2603 contains all of the plastic in kit 2602, but with different decals and building instructions. The differences are small things like what sensor and antenna parts get used. If it matters, kit 2602 …

Boeing's fall from grace seems to have begun after they "merged" with McDonnell-Douglas in 1997. Articles and at least one book describe the Mac-Dac management thugocracy having subsumed the Boeing technocrats, resulting in the corporate debacle we see today.

Jun 18, 2024 · I've had this kit for a while now, and this GB is the perfect reason to start it. In addition to the US Army machine pictured, the kit includes decals to allow you to build one of the slick camo-painted machines that were license-built by Fuji Heavy Industries for the Japanese military. Curiously...

Jun 28, 2023 · Pat, The BOMARC is one of my all-time fav aircraft. I've often stated/joked that the USAF released bogus plans of the BOMARC to Revell so as to mislead the Russians into building a missile that was aerodynamically unstable. It appears you are building the "A" model. The "B" model engines were entirely different and the wing was positioned differently.

Jun 7, 2007 · Ill be coming to seattle soon and I was wondering if anyone has recieved a boeing relo package? Also how is the Mukateo area? I am hoping to work out

Trying something a little different at the club yesterday. I ran a special BNSF powered J-train around the mainline. A "J" symbol denotes Hi/Wide Dimensional Loads, in this case, a quartet of Boeing Skyboxes. The power for the trip was a lone renumbered Intermountain ES44AC, BNSF 6003. Th

Jun 18, 2024 · There's one, attached with Krystal Klear (which I love for its "grab" - woodworker term for initial adhesion - such that it will hold parts in place even while wet). Gonna let that dry *completely* before attempting the other one. As it turns out, those gasket decals around the windows weren't as difficult to do as I had feared they might be.
