Your work on the britannia is brilliant, and your other vac builds are stunning !!!! Makes me want to not-mess-up my first little vac build (welsh Fokker f 27)... Inspiring work, thanks Wally !

Nice ! A Touch of colour in the collection, I like that! Thanks for sharing !Olli

Don't see a lot of 727's around here, and II seldom saw an AA kit!! I recon there's a lot of TAP love lately--> nice !!! superbly built airliner, and cool presentation , too! Thanks for sharing, Olli

I'm in too, as I love these cool "old" classic kits, they take me back to my childhood, and It's always Great fun for me to See one built! But the lowest Point in Airfix boxart had to be the Period when they just Took a picture of the Build up thing standing on some Kind of Plan/blueprint ? 🤔Watching your Build with interest, Great Start with the Cockpit btw ! Thanks for sharing, Olli

This is coming along LOVELY, your scratch work is superb ! Olli

Nice paint work on the 'Able Dog' ! Cool build ! Thanks for sharing OLLI

Great scratchwork! Very impressive build! Looks Kind of similar to a Bücker Bestmann or a BF 108 Taifun 🤔 Could be a donor kit when scratching this in a bigger scale I think...!?!? Thx 4 sharing, Olli

W O W !!!! you make it look so easy to get a great result out of an old kit !!! Im following your Progress with interest! Thanks for sharing, Olli

Some hefty scratchbuilding and improving of nostalgic kits here... ! Im totally in !!! Thanks for sharing, Olli

Cool build, I don't see a B 24 too often here around!! Cool background story, too! Will watch this space for shure, Thanks for sharing your build, Olli

" Nightmare kit with Aires resin seat, Eduard interior and their non fitting air intakes PE. " Can't see nothing of this in the end result, because that is F L A W L E S S and C L E A N as hell!! I think you have made a 200% build that's pretty much the maximum you can get out of this kit!! Intimidated by the perfect photography that is evident here.... (not only in your post but all around here in the Forum, i have to get a decent camera/lighting/Background and, oh yea, SKILLS soon.... Thanks for sharing, Olli

That DAK Looks stunning in that aluminum finish !!! Cool builds! Olli

Started out with Italeri kits, got to love 'em !! You have build this kit to absolute perfection!! very impressive cockpit!! Metallic finish is exceptional, too! As if that's not enough: nice presentation/very good photography ! Thanks for sharing, Olli

Exxcellent photography! Classic Bird! Cool build ! Like it alot! Thx for sharing, Olli

I have to second this, Wow! Breathtaking! Inspiring! Thanks for sharing, Olli

Very cool classy, I really like the bold red/green TAP colours !!! Have not build any Airbuses myself (except a A 321 in the 90's (Revell kit) in hand painted Lufthansa Livery...), this one's a real beauty!! Shure about the retirement flight ?! Thanks for sharing, Olli

Dirty beast ! thats an impressive model for shure !! coold build, thanks for sharing, Olli

Cool, let me know if this works out...! Glad I could help! Olli

I have the most respect for modellers who get the most out of old kits, and accept the inaccuracies that come with the old kits. It makes such a nice model on a stand! These kind of builds are, for me, the true spirit of plastic scale modelling !! Well done sir ! thx for sharing, Olli

Maybe it's too late for this idea, but since this is a standard size plastic tubing, you could try to get this in clear styrene, so you would just have to mask the Windows on the inside and outside and paint the whole thing... quick Amazon search brought this up: https://www.amazon.com/Polycarbonate-Tubing-Wall-Clear-Color/dp/B00193UNBI/ref=sr_1_1/158-2144978-8204063?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1487197375&sr=1-1&refinements=p_item_diameter_derived%3A2+inches cleanest and clearest Windows you could ever achieve... maybe this helps, enjoying your build very much...Progress Looks very good and that lassic dominie pic may be my next Screen saver ! Olli

Hello everyone, slowest progress here... (well, that's mainly because I have not much modelling time and I got so frustrated filling/sanding/rescribing/undoing rescribng errors that I've startet another build (welsh vacform, something for a future WIP i hope...) Some small updates: mockup of the whole thing, starting to look like a 727 now I think, engines were taken apart, fan blades scratched (in a simple, ham-fisted approach) and I tried to rebuild the intake ducts (taken of, glued halves together, filled, sanded, glued on the fan blade front... now "Kind of" seamless... started rescribing of the main airframe now, works out o.k. with 3 M Tape and a Scriber from Albion Alloys... note to myself: NEVER put Milliput on a flat Surface again.... Comes off in flakes when scribed, where it stays on the model it is way to soft for rescribing .... thanks for watching, Olli

Nice! Like it very much !! Grew up with Italeri kits....cool build! Thanks for sharing, Olli

Mathy ! In the early 90's I saw pictures of your builds in german Modelling magazines !! You were my hero back them! And to be honest your builds are up there with the best ! Flawless ! (And cool rainy weather runway als always! 😀 ) Superb photographing too!! The whole package ! Thanks for sharing Olli

What a cool cold war Build (hehe)! Stunning Model ! Thanks for sharing ! Olli
