Olly Tindall Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 The latest in my line of models I'm making of all the jets I've had the pleasure of flying. This one has a special place in my heart as I got my command on the 777. Used some after market Avia Decals & landing flaps by LACI. I made quite an obvious boo boo on this one, which I didn't notice until I took the pics somehow, my only excuse is I changed my mind on the reg half way through and decided to do the BAK. Which is the aircraft I flew for my first flight after finishing my command training. Any comments and critique very welcome, thanks for looking 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timo Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Hi Olly That is a fabulous 777-300ER, I especially love the work you've done on the flaps and slats. And congratulations on being a Captain on one of these great Boeings. Cheers Tim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skodadriver Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Absolutely magnificent. It must be particularly satisfying to model an aircraft you know personally, so to speak! The Qatar livery looks great on any aircraft but for some reason it's especially impressive on the big 777. Which grey paint did you use?

Oh, I think @Timo means the flaps and slats... Nice work. The 'obvious boo-boo' is only obvious if you know what to look for (I don't)!

ForestFan Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Fabulous work, love the details and the exhaust effects, easy to overdo in the small scale. Looks like a nice place of work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 A beautiful job on that, it really does look the part. Fixing that nose door rego oops shouldn't be too hard, should it? , not that it is too obvious either. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Didn't get it to look 100% how I wanted, but was happy with the look in the end, like you said hard to get all the effects into a small space with my limited skills 8 hours ago, Skodadriver said: Absolutely magnificent.

Which grey paint did you use? Dave G 🇺🇦 Thanks Dave I used Mission Models Aircraft grey gloss, but it did seem to darken a bit to much when I applied the clear coat.
