speedbird Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Hi guys, hope someone in here can help. I have an airfix 727 and I’d like to finish it in the old Pan Am scheme. I have the decals but I’ve no idea of the colours or where they go. Looking at some photos I’ve found on tinterweb it’s hard to make out if the fuselage is light grey or natural metal.. anyone got a paint guid or something similar?

bzn20 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, speedbird said: something similar? Which model,original -21 and 1960s or later -200? Which year ? Blue cheatline or Big Pan-Am white fuse The 60s Berlin services like N317PA -21 had NMF below the cheatline. I saw a couple at Heathrow mid/late 60s The -200s later about the time of National Airlines takeover had Light Grey paint on the lower fuse. https://www.google.co.uk/search?biw=1366&bih=632&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=oWYUWr2sEIaxa9bxoLAE&q=pan+am+727-200&oq=pan+am+727-200&gs_l=psy-ab.12...414771.416779.0.421662.6.5.1.0.0.0.66.270.5.5.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.jkDrwlzLMgk#imgrc=prIrd0neDLPJqM:&spf=1511286855034 https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/550987335644347243/ Edited November 21, 2017 by bzn20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedbird Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 It’s the 1960s scheme with the blue cheat line and smal pan am titles.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbag Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Hi Mike I have the old Liveries Unlimited sheet that I can scan for you. Just drop me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll get it done for you as soon as I can. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stringbag Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hi Mike. Just noticed that your thread title refers to the 737 which is the sheet I have here however, reading again I see it's the 727 details that you want. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedbird Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Thanks for that stringbag, I hadn’t noticed that... god how I hate predictive text 🤨 sorry guys... to clarify, I’m looking for details of the colour scheme for the pan am 727 as seen during the 60s with the blue cheatline and small PanAm titles. If anyone has a painting / decal guide they could scan that would be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 You do realise you can update/edit the thread title by editing the first post in the thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Mc Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I thought that, in the 1960s, Pan Am actually spelled out the full title "Pan American" on their aircraft. They switched to just "Pan Am! in the early 1970s mainly, I think, because they had chosen that style for their new 747s - as it was easier to fit Pan Am onto the 747's "hump" than all the letters of "Pan American".

bzn20 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 That'll be the Pan-American IGS 727-21s ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedbird Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Dunno about that mate, I’m no airline expert, just like the look of this.. have a look on here http://www.findmodelkit.com/content/boeing-727-100-pan-american-1144-airfix it’s this scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippiebg Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Err-r-r... you seem to have answered your own question here! The link refers to 26 Decals. Get the decal, and you'll also get a guide on how to paint the various bits and where to put the various designs from the decal, and probably also an historical guide on how the livery might have evolved with the years with tiny and not so tiny changes. So the point of another topic beats me..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme H Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 One thing I must point out, that link shows that the builder although doing a fantastic job, left the wildly incorrect Wing Fence on the trailing edge where Airfix accidentally put it, when I should be on the leading edge, well worth correcting, and shows you have done a bit of research on your subject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the one you asked for.......I think 3 Move the goal posts from your original request. That was for the original Pan-American scheme, only to pick out the later scheme. Blue PAN-AM titles 4. By all means ask for help but try and do some research, if only to give yourself confidence that what you're looking at is the correct info you want. Its so easy to find ..History of Pan-Am etc. Image searches for whatever it is you want. Edited November 28, 2017 by bzn20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
