Madhatter Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 this is so good I have to comment again. I so want this on my shelf! This would be one of the best MD-11's I think I have ever seen As Ray mentioned - it's hard to believe this started off as a DC-10 What ever you do, don't enter the Airliner 3 GB - no one else would stand a chance lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex1978 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 This is just absolutely awesome. You can be mighty proud on your conversion and all the hard work has payed off in full. This must be the most beautiful MD-11 model kit around and then some... I am highly impressed. I must also try to get hold of that polishing compound you use on your models.This seems to work much better than the Tamyia stuff i am using. Keep up the good work and I stay tuned for other airliners of yours to appear on BM Cheers, Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) An absolutely stunning piece of work. The quality of the paintwork is outstanding, especially the purple.
