Boeing 727-200, I-DIRI, Alitalia, 1982.


Recommended Posts

Another of Airfix’s classic airliner kits, I made this one straight out of the box. I was surprised to find it’s as big as a 707, I always thought those were much bigger! 
 

Sprayed with appliance white, chrome silver and Tamiya light ghost grey, detail touched up with Posca pen. The decals were very good despite the age of the kit.

It needed noseweight, but generally the fit was quite good.

 Very nice 727!
 

Those Posca pens are great for small details and touch ups.   Very fragile though.

 

What gloss did you use for your final coat? Your model has a nice lustre to it.

@BluesModeller thanks mate, I just used gloss appliance white. I gave it a coat of satin white first to identify any joins, etc then once dry and sanded where needed sprayed the gloss on. I gave it two coats of gloss, just lightly sprayed. The wings only needed one coat of grey and silver.
