Mr B Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hi folks my entry will start as soon as i get some progress on my british phantom. Anyone know if this boxing is a real 400 series? Looks long enough.... decals are self made. A mate drew them up for me...hope they work rgds to all brian 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodadriver Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I can't tell from the photo but if it has two overwing emergency exits it's a -400. Otherwise it's a -300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme H Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I don't have that boxing, but looked at a 400 plastic in the box and it seems to match yours, but the big one is as @Skodadriver says if it has the 2 overwing exits engraved, then it is a -400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I am pretty sure it is a -400, the homemade decal sheet looks good Brian. I see you have 2 sets which is a good move (just in case :D). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Cheers guys thanks for the views I will take that as confirmation and build it as a 400.....V1 no turning back.............. the decals do look good....but Ray you are right.........its always best to have 2 or more..........based on experience, they do tear easily..... Rgds and happy building to all......... Brian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr B Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Cheers Martin guys got some work.....firstly there are two emergency doors engraved so its a 400 sides are togeter and weight is in. Just need to paint the weight n close up the clear parts. just tried the wings on for size. Next will be more seam cleaning and finalizing the engines which has already been put together went an purchased a 1200 hasegawa kit over ebay and might add tht in to the frey when it comes as i have decals for it rgds brian 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Nice progress Brian, I have a-300 in the stash and forgot about the windscreen insert as I was going to start it while I was away enjoying some sun. Seems you 737 is going together with little fuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandboof Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 That white looks pretty smooth from here Martin H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thanks guys, that major seam is still present..........so a rub down and superglue.........and sanded smooth............will try and get it repainted during the working week.... Hopefully no more dramas..........and I can tackle the masking job rgds B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Hi guys managed to finalize the white the best I could. Would have gone further for masking but my double sided tape had gone bad. In the mean time i started decalling my phantom will try and get some new double sided tape and start the masking process. cheers n happy modeling brian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 Hi folks got the grey on. I suspect the decals are wrongly measured. Will see what can be done. rgds to all 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr B Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Cheers Martin I did manage to repaint a little bit last night ....need to do a fine sand if possible tonight and force the decals to conform......fingers crossed....if all goes well........should be able to decal by weekends....that is if I have the time.............work commitments are starting as with day to day life events............... rgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Brain, which decals are you talking about, the livery? Or walkway lines, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Its the main livery........something is not right............especially towards the rear.....hopefully will be able to work something out.......will see how it goes worst case will be to paint the lines on.....which will be a PITA at best...............walkways and windows I am going to use from the kit....decals........so I do think much of an issue................
