Spad Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Hi all Just two little jets to slip in under the wire for 2019. Bit late as I had a bit of an issue with Flickr, but all good now - my finger trouble! Doh! Both models are the lovely little 737-300 kits from Daco under their Skyline range. The decals are also Daco, These are numbers 3 & 4 in my production line of WestPac LogoJets, Western Pacific was a Colorado based airline that operated in the mid 90s for 4~5 years and became well known for turning their jets over to advertisers. Normally it was a Colorado based sponsor, in this case the Crested Butte winter resort and the rather upmarket Broadmoor Hotel. For the fuselage colours I used Daco's own paints (produced by Xtracolor), purple for the Crested Butte and Peach and Maroon for the Broadmoor machine. Build was exactly as per the previous 2, but with the advantage of lessons learned, as they do have a couple of quirks. They will now join my Simpson's and Colorado Springs jets from last year. Two more in the programme for next year! Comments and critique welcome in equal measure! Hope you enjoy them as much as I do! Thanks for looking!

Abandoned Project Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Two beautiful birds there Sir. What's all this talk of using kit decals? A whole new concept to me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whole new concept to me! Thank you Abandoned! Don't worry, they're not the kit decals (haven't done that for years except the very odd occasion!) No these are standalone sheets; it's just that they are produced by Daco for use on their own 737 kits. All the kits come with SimpsonJet markings - just typical after I managed eventually to get one of his sheets when the kits were generic only! Doh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
