lovely scheme, and a nice finish

Fantastic work Cliff, I can hear the whine of the turbo compressor and the whirring of those RR Darts as I type this.

Great result Kev. -
Thanks Mike, Well in our place in Canberra I had a good sized model room and space. We've moved the Adelaide and it is a smaller space. I will need to move things around to make space. Or just box it up and put it in the garage until I want to display it.

Queen of the Skies - Boeing 707
Romeo Alpha Yankee replied to Romeo Alpha Yankee's topic in Baby Boomers GB 1946-1964
Cliff, there would have been a benefit if I had thought about the wing fuselage join a little better, on previous E-3 builds I added spacers in the fuselage at the wing root to reduce/eliminate the gap. I rushed it this time and did not do so and paid the price, Two steps forward, one step back. -
I dug through the stash and found the Williams Bros Boeing 247 kit. I am not a fan of either scheme in the kit, the racer or flight test article. I will see if I can find some other decal options on the net.

Queen of the Skies - Boeing 707

Slowly getting time on this after another Boomer subject (C-130) has been finished. I tried something different attaching the wings, I added the upper pieces first. It did not work to plan and I made a filling nightmare when one upper wing came off while adding the lower wing. Anyway the wing is attached and the filling and sanding has begun. The engines have been assembled and filling and sanding completed.- 33 replies

1/72nd scale DC-10-30
Romeo Alpha Yankee replied to tomprobert's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
I had totally forgotten about the is one, nice to see some progress from 10 years ago! -
Tom, All versions on the Anigrand kit are inaccurate, the 'update' was cosmetic and did not address the shape issues of the nose or the possession of the wing. The engines are also not good, I suppose I should put everyone out theie misery and finish mine so Kinetic release theirs
-
Agree Markus, the fist link you posted is mine (I have a build thread here on BM as well), I have been working on it on and off since 2006! I might finish it just before the Kinetic kit hits the shelves

Looks nice Howard, I have built the other option from this boxing (Finnish Air Force) and have another to do in this scheme.- 10 replies

For some reason I see no flags in the country/entrant list, just a 2 letter code for the country. How do I add the 'flag' to my subject title?
