Lord Riot Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 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. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilg Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 It turned out beautifully! It's a smart looking 727 in those colours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesModeller Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 @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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
