    Wow,what a beauty. One of the most impressive 727 builds I have seen. Wonderful. Alex

    Superb looking 727 John. As I built many 727s already,I was actually not planning to get one of these. But seeing this beautiful model,I am now very tempted. Thanks for sharing Alex

    Thank you very much for the kind words. It was a lot of work but overall an enoyable build despite some troubles. Thank you very much. Apart from my mentioned issues the rest of the build went smooth. The engines were actually fitting nicely without any problems,the same with the fuselage. Detailpainting was done with the help of pictures from my various 737 books,I did not go crazy with the detailing in the gear wells,as not mimuch can be seen after the build is complete.

    You can never go wrong with a 747 in such a classy scheme. Superb build all around. Alex

    Great "Mad Dog" Dave. I remember those Meridiana MD-80s well from our local airport during the summers of the 90s. Brings back nice memories. I recently finished some Minicraft MD-80s too but havdnt found the time yet to take pics. Thanks for sharing Alex

    You might dryfit the -400 wings to the -200 fuselage. The slots should be the same. As there are wing/body fairings on the -400 wings already ,you might extend them to the fuselage with putty and blend them in. That way you need to glue the wings to the fuselage prior to painting though. I did that on my Revell 1/144 747-400F conversion and it worked quite well. Alex

    Very nice MD-11. One of my alltime favourite airliners and a treat to fly with. If I am correct,I flew on this very aircraft from Zurich to Bangkok back in 1997 and enjoyed it a lot. The MikroMir/Eastern Express kit is quite a challenge but you got a great result out of it which is a fine tribute to this wonderful aircraft. Alex

    Thank you very much. I guess it must have been a pleasure piloting the 757.

    Thank you very much. Sorry for my very late reply.Kind of missed your comment 😊 I adjusted the window layout by closing 4 windows in a row.From the back,count 13 windows and close 4 following. The other windows are filled with white glue after painting,which gives the illusion of glass.Much better,in my opinion,than using the clear parts and mask every one.

    Hi, Regarding the decals in this kit... They seem indeed being printed in a lesser quality than usual. In another forum,the issue with the grey instead of silver decals,is mentioned there too. So this seems net to be an isolated incident 😳 Alex

    A stunning build and a great backstory to it. Very well done Alex
