pinky coffeeboat Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) I've just had a google (don't worry I'm ok, didn't hurt that much...) Draw Decal have a sheet for Braniff jellybean 727-200. Fuselage is about the same length, just the fin size could be a problem; and look it even has a flight deck windshield decal and fuselage window decals!!! All you need are some nice engines... And so does twosix and they're for 720s!!!! Edited September 21, 2013 by pinky coffeeboat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-RSIN Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I do like the "Life of Brian" but the rest I never really found funny....but don't get me wrong, I'm not the messiah, I'm a very naughty boy... I quite fancy a Braniff jelly bean colour scheme quite like this http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto_pa.php?id=6839042&pa_photo=71354. Does anybody know a ) if any aftermarket decal company produce(d) a sheet or, b ) the font style for the lettering? It shouldn't be too difficult - black colour printed on a bit of clear decal sheet. Jeff There's the Welsh one: http://www.airlinercafe.com/photo_6563.details.large There's also a 707 that surely can be used: http://www.airlinercafe.com/photo_6441.details.large Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenDragon Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) I want a few 720B's, 2/6 doing an Air Malta, also want a Monarch and maybe Cyprus Airways. Has anyone any news on aftermarket engines yet? I want a standard 720 of Aeroamerica. Still wondering why the Caesars Palace scheme and no airline ones?

pinky coffeeboat Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Not really sure if it's acceptable to comment on the goings-on on another forum, but "on another forum" Kurt (Authentic Airliners) is showing the master for his upcoming resin JT3C engine - you know, the engine at the centre of this "it's rubbish don't buy it, bin it" - "just buy some replacement engines and you'll be fine" debate here...they do look nice!! Available in several weeks time, apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Available in several weeks time, apparently. Looks like Kury will be releasing them as an add on for the Roden kit! Yippee! Interestingly his comments about not doing JT3Ds separately suggets he wont be releasing a 720 (rather than a 720B) anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd forgotten all about PNA. Yes they got two from PNA and a third, an 048 from Aer Lingus. There are quite a few more operators, to be added to that list. An African Government used one, cant remember which country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garryrussell Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I don't think the Britannia and Invicta were B's but can't be sure The Britannia was, I think in Air Malta stripe...looks like it and Britannia titles and it had a logo an a white tail.

26Decals Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Invicta were B's, I have done the decals for them - G-BCBA and B http://www.airliners.net/photo/Invicta-International-Airlines/Boeing-720-023B/0537519/L/ Cheers Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky coffeeboat Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Has anyone seen the American A/L sheet just released by Mike at Vintage Flyer Decals - they look lovely! AND he's doing a set for the Roden engines as they are (for those who aren't too bothered) and a sheet for the same kit but with AA replacement engines for those who want to retrieve their kits from the bin and have model that's acceptable to all....

woody37 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 2/6 (I think) do Monarch for the 720B They do, I built one a few years ago using the AWACS and Two-six decals, I know it misses some key bits like the enlaged inner wing leading edge, but I could live with it ! I flew on one of these as a kid, hence my interest to build it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garryrussell Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 That is exactly the point...it's not 100% but you wanted a 720 and you have one...it's a 720 to you and that really is all that matters. Nicely built too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky coffeeboat Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Apologies for dragging this up from the past, but hobbyterra are now listing a new release of this kit with United decals..anyway it's still a terrible kit and should be binned, burned or completely ignored 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
