pinky coffeeboat Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I'm excited too. I've spread the word to those on Airlinercafe. KLM would be my first scheme to do, followed by Alitalia. Then Delta, Martinair, FedEx. Jeff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodadriver Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 .... Lufthansa, Varig, Swissair, LTU, Thai, Martinair, China Eastern and many more provided the plastic is decent. I have a strong distrust of anything to do with Eastern Express and I hope the involvement of MikroMir leads to a good kit rather than an abomination like the A318 or a missed opportunity like the Tristar.

pinky coffeeboat Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 EE IL-18 are quite a good model as too are their Yak-42. I have to agree about the Tristar, but before their kit was released, the Otaki kit was highly regarded and sold for a fair amount on eBay and such. In fact the Otaki kit was almost beyond reproach and nobody would utter any concerns about accuracy. Strange how things change. Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artmaul Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I just received my EE MD-11 KIT, I must say: impressive! Much better than yak42Â and ilyushin releases! Very nice and fine details! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky coffeeboat Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I got mine last week and love it too. KLM markings from the box will do me very nicely. 26decals have just released Alitalia markings. I'd love if this was the start of more markings for this kit and a hint that Ray may be re-boxing the kit with his decals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 So do we get a look inside the box? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltmertins Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I really like the wing spar design! Â Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I think that I need one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky coffeeboat Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 4 minutes ago, Jessica said: I think that I need one of those.  Mmmh, just one? Granted it is quite a price but the alternative is twice the price and I'd rather not bother with that one. V1 decals, DrawDecals and 26decals have some MD-11 sheets available, so let's keep fingers crossed more will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 There'll be another source soon for the MM/EE kit.  http://www.26decals.com/epages/62035508.mobile/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/62035508/Categories/Latest_News  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janneman36 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I have seen it today in the box at the LHS and it looks very nice... It is very recommendable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodadriver Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Some slightly mixed comments on Airliner Cafe. Â Â Considering the cost of the kit it's troubling to read complaints about parts misidentified on the instruction sheet and comments like "and yes damn it I will make these parts fit" or "screwy way of mating the wings to the fuselage". Â I think I'll hold on to my cash until I see some more reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjwomack Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 It might be pricey, but if one day I can afford it then I expect I'll make a better job of it than my Welsh Models vac-form. After 15 years (is this a record) on the shelf of doom, including 3 house moves in which some resin parts were lost it's off to the bin for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that wasn't even for a vac-form in my case, more laziness.  Now I'm practiced in the art of Welsh Models MD-11, I can offer to finish it for you...  What livery do you have planned?  Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjwomack Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Naargh! That's not a response to your generous offer Darren but because the bin-men carted it away this very morning! The livery was going to be KLM (something else EE seem to have anticipated). Personally I'm impressed that KLM withdrew the whole fleet in the time it took me to not build 1, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james 777 fan Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 26 Decals now have them on their website available with a choice of decals. Decently priced too. Will hold out for the KLM version though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
