Thank you, David. This looks like a wonderful resource. I have since been contacted through response on a other site, and a set is on the way. Cheers! Paul

I haven’t done research in depth to determine if earlier C-130 props would be correct….interesting thouht. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you, Marc....no such luck at Welsh Models. I did find a couple sets from an individual and Contrails emailed me with an offer to actually cast the props...so I have found what I need. Cheers! Paul

Has anyone seen or have, or know where I can get a set of the pewter cast four blade props for the 1/144 scale Minicraft Electra? Thanks for searching! Paul

Nicely done, Jelle! I particularly like the build process, too…lots of very useful information there. I agree with Dave; one of the nicest builds I’ve seen here in a while. Your attention to the detail is spot on, and the weathering makes her look like she is used well and often! Thank you for sharing. Cheers! Paul

Hi Kev; I have to chuckle a bit as you’ve referred to this kit as “horribly mediocre.” What you’ve accomplished in your build here is far far from mediocre, let alone horrible! What a beautiful build! I love the DC-4, and am always drawn to the classic airliners. The Qantas livery really lends to making the DC-4 look beautiful. Thank you for sharing….nicely done! Paul

Once again…nicely done, Julien. I do like an A320 that catches the eye, and this one certainly does! Paul

Hi Julien! Well done! I am not a fan of the newer livery at Icelandair, but that is no matter in your demonstration of skill in finishing this beauty. I really like the base you’ve used to display the finished model…lends to a more realistic photo. Thank you for sharing….very well done. Paul

Hi Jelle! This little beauty gets a WOW! Very very nicely done. It is always such a pleasure to see the old classics here, and most especially when one is done as well as yours. Fine work capturing the accuracy and details of the real airplane. You’ve made this one really stand out with excellent attention, care, and quality. Love the old SAS livery; it truly brought out the dignity of the classic airliners. Well done!

Well done, John! So good to see the classic airliners getting recognition here. Love your work on the MC kit. What a great kit to have as a base for this project. Cheers! Paul

This is so good, Dave! I always love seeing the classic propliners posted here. You've done a magnificent job on the whole family! The pic of all three is really wonderful. I have a couple of unbuilt F-RSIN kits in my stash, and quite frankly, they are a bit scary. I've yet to have the courage to jump right in with one, but maybe I should take a second look. I'm not beyond or above making major corrections with putty and sanding. Very nicely done! Paul

Hi Dave! So glad you "swithered" into this one as it is! Very nicely done, as always. In spite of the flaking ink from the decals, which of course no one would know about but you, judging from the photos. But then, we can be our own worst critics sometimes...all the time. Really like this one...thank you for sharing. Paul

Another one well done, John! Absolutely beautiful. I do like the detailed interior cockpit, but they are oh so small! My fat fingers are getting a bit old to handle things that small anymore...but then, these fat fingers DO still hold tweezers and small instruments pretty well. Nice attention to detail, too. I'm always drawn to modelers that do their research thoroughly then present it well in a model like this. Nicely done! Thank you for sharing. Cheers! Paul

Hi John! Very nicely done! I have to agree with everyone! Beautiful livery on a beautiful airplane. Love the B707 series aircraft; and you have done this one great justice! The Authentic Airliner models are truly in a class by themselves, however, I am learning from this one...I did not know that the early ones were in 3-piece fuselages. How interesting. How challenging! And I am really fond of the old BOAC livery...nice choice and very well done. I currently have an AA B707-123 on my bench that has sat there for nearly two years now, primed and ready for the undercoat for the early American Airlines livery. Seeing your latest addition is most inspirational! Thank you for sharing! Cheers! Paul

Thank you, Fred! I think so too! The old Super Connie looked so beautiful in several liveries, but KLM is actually my favorite. This one was long in the making and finishing, but the result was pleasing. Cheers! Paul
