SAT69 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 You've taken an old kit and produced an extra nice model. I certainly appreciate your choice of color scheme. Looks very good on the 727! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Nicely done, Ray! Really looks great. Aside from converting it to a -100, did you take "extreme measures" with the forward fuselage? It looks like you got rid of the kit's cheekiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26Decals Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 Thenks for the kind comments. It's not converted from the -200, it is the older series 100 kit TWA issue from the 1970s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Looks superb that! I remember Dan Air stuff at Manchester in the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 That looks stunning Ray, I hadn't realised that Airfix had ever done the -100 series jets, I ended up with a Revell one to base an RNZAF aircraft on. Not sure which would have been better, certainly you've made the Airfix one look very good. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbofan Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Hi Ray, Looks great, what a classic livery! Which grey did you use for the belly? I'll be painting a Comet 4C in Dan-Air livery soon. I think the Airfix -100 is so much nicer than the Revell one, I've not got any -100s so I think I'll have to keep a look out for a cheap Airfix kit. Very nice baseboard too! Cheers, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger350Pilot Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Very nice, Ray! Love the old 727-100, and the livery is stunning. Wow. You built this one out of the box?? I don't remember the Airfix kit having y sized nose gear doors, or detailed nose gear wheels. Are those after market parts, or did you fabricate them yourself? Whatever the case...its a beautiful build, and you've enhanced her with the gear doors and wheels. Love the display base, too. Enhances just enough to make the model stand out. Thank you for sharing!

26Decals Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 Thanks all for your kind comments. Re the nose wheel, it was already in the box when I got the kit from ebay so don't know it's origins and the nose gear doors were plastic card which admittedly weren't in the box. The grey is Holts HGREY 01 acrylic auto paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Lovely 727 Ray, the -100 is definitely the better looking variant, and that is the best Dan Air scheme as well. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedders Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Beautiful model. And the Dan Dair livery makes it all the better! Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
