Orso Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I have managed to finish some old kits this summer. Boeing 727-200 A rather quick build. Less than two month. Decals from 26 decals. Well not a Swedish plane but Denmark is close enough. I have wanted a Sterling 727 since the 1970's and finally I have one. The Caravelle's wasn't as fast to build. I thing that I started on them around 2006. Decals from F-DCAL But I should have bought new engines for it but I didn't want to dig in to references so I built it out of the box. Not a Swedish plane but it says SAS on the side. Good enough for me. I think these decals came from F-DCAL as well. Thai Airways International was founded in 1960 as a joint venture between Thailand's domestic carrier, Thai Airways Company (TAC) and Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) In 1977 the Thai Government bought out SAS and THAI became fully owned by the Thai government. I had built this Air France plane back in 2006 and after I had finished it I found decals for SAS and Thai so I had to buy more kits. Built straight out of the box with the decals supplied in the kit. 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orso Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 It was a mistake that I didn't get around to fix before I took the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbofan Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Hi Orso, It's good to see a Sterling 727 I don't think I've seen one finished before. Great collection of Caravelles too, my favourite has to be the Air France one such a classic livery! Cheers, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbag Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Lovely collection of classics there Orso. That 727 is very nice indeed and a Sterling Caravelle would complement them perfectly I think. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Very nice collection Orso. Hard to pick a favourite but I think it would be the Air France Caravelle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 A really lovely collection from when airliners still looked interesting. I also much prefer these retro style markings, Much smarter than today's gaudy schemes. I have a Caravelle in my stash. I'll be happy if they turn out half as good as yours.
