Douglas DC-10-30 Finnair, 1990s Airfix 1/144 kit + FDcals + Nazca details Another one for the Douglas Commercials line up. Anyone who has built this kit will know that if you build it OOB the engines hang so low that they touch the ground, so the pylon attachments were removed from the wings and the pylons themselves reduced in size. I also added some stiffeners inside the wings before assembly as the whole thing is too flimsy otherwise. Wing surface details are of the very fine raised line type, which had to be completely removed because there were some sink marks to be filled and sanded. Just as well because Airfix marked in too many spoilers! So all wing detail was scribed in. Why Finnair? Just because it’s a great looking old school livery. Thank you FDcal. I also used the Nazca DC-10 details sheet which I liked a lot. Much simpler than trying to engrave the cargo doors, vents, etc on the fuselage. Paint was of course Halford’s Appliance White, with wings finished in AK Extreme Metal Polished Aluminium and Xtracrylic Dark Gull Grey and Light Aircraft Grey over Tamiya grey primer.
