Doug Rogers Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) I have been having a few Beers today...but can anyone else see a Cat in those pics? Great build by the way, just got the Airfix kit myself, not sure whether to do the BA livery or get some BOAC markings.

ogro Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 Trojan, the decals are made by Pointerdog7 and the kit is the Minicraft whith a resin cabin ! Thanks Alf 64 and woody37 From Airlinercafe.com Forum ''Hello Fellows, I wanted to let u guys know that I received a packaged with the full Jet Blue decal fleet from Pointerdog7 decals. The tails are superb. For the price, you can go wrong and all I have to say is that their quality is getting better and better. I am extremely satisfied. Try them out, pointerdog7(AT)gmail.com or on "evil" bay. Did I mention the NY Jets one? WOW!! Walter IAH '' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Thanks Ogro! Yes, I am aware of Pointerdog from the AMD Google group. I also just noticed the monster cat checking out your 707 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennings Heilig Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Interestingly, I just discovered that N761PA was the airplane that lost the outer 1/3 of its right wing just after takeoff from SFO on 28 June 1965, bound for HNL (PA 843). The pilot sped up to put out the fire, and landed at Travis AFB, northeast of San Francisco without incident. Bizarrely, although he landed successfully and nobody was hurt, when Pan Am sent another 707 to pick the passengers up and forward them on to HNL, the second airplane's nose gear collapsed after landing at Travis!! Pan Am finally sent a THIRD 707, and all but 8 passengers boarded for an uneventful flight to paradise. I'm not that superstitious about flying, but I have to wonder if I'd have gotten aboard that third 707 that day! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 That's really nice, Ogro, but you need to know a couple of things before the mods come trampling in. First, pictures of completed models ought to go in the Ready For Inspection forum; this one's just for discussion. Second, Airliners.net is nasty about copyright so the mods have created a policy. You ought to go back and delete the image links and use hyperlinks to those pictures to stay out of trouble. One little niggle about the model: The main gear doors were closed on the ground unless the wrench turners were busy doing maintenance. I know Minicraft gave us all the wrong steer with their instructions; they can be tricky that way. That said, I really love the finish you've achieved. It conveys the glamour of those far-off distant days when air travel was comfortable even in economy class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Well it looks like this one has slipped under the mods' radar for 3 years Jessica for posting location and the A.net linking. Still is a nice model though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Shows where my priorities are; I was looking at the model (and the cat), not the date 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Nice. Shame about the Minicraft kit though with regard to the very curious nose!! Talking of noses, cute pussy stickin!g his /her nose in seventh model pic down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Shelter Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Looks very good to me - who cares about any discrepancies - your model looks superb - those wings really are broad on a 707 - my cats are forbidden to get that close to my work - they are a pair of model trashing terrorists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melvyn hiscock Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I have only just caught up with this as airliners are not really my thing. However, a friend of mine's father was pilot on this a/c when the engine fell off, followed by a big chunk of the wing. I am writing up the story for The Aviation Historian, the new quarterly magazine from the old Aeroplane Monthly team. It is a fascinating story. If anyone knows where I can get good copies of photographs showing the damaged I would be interested to see them Melvyn Hiscock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head in the clouds. Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Love the paint job, it reaally makes the model, you are also brave to have a cat so close to such a lovely model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzn20 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I'd leave the main doors down. Plenty of things to work on up in the bays.Great looking 707! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
