Rupert Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 This one, just off my very slow production line, is an all resin kit apart from a few detail parts. It went together well, drilling and pinning the wings and tailplanes before glueing to the fuselage. I have attempted depicting the various shades of the bare, annodised panels. Later in its life the aircraft was painted grey which would have made life a lot easier. You will see it is a very small aircraft by modern airliner standards and my photos magnify the model to a worrying extent! Making this kit has renewed my interest in 1930s airliners so perhaps a DC-2 next. Vincent 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Nice little Boeing, it definitely needs a DC-2 to go with it! Cheers John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Monday Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 That is stunning. I love the addition of the pilot to the scene, BM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggles.w Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Very nice! And plans for a DC-2 are supported! I take your point re small scale. I flew a short commuter flight in a SAAB turboprop last week, and stood in much the same place as your pilot while I waited my turn to climb the airstair. I thought that was small .. it now helps put this in perspective! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valleyforge Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Thats a great little build. Take some guts to do the 1/144. Nicely turned out and as everyone else as said, great addition with the pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc the Builder Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 That is one good looking bird, the different colors on the panels might have been a lot of work but it looks very convincing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
