26Decals Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) Hi All. Here is my latest finished model. Roden Boeing 720B kit with my own Maersk decals. The blue is painted with Halfords Ford Olympic Blue which is a very close match to Xtracolor Maersk blue Cheers Ray Edited October 24, 2023 by 26Decals 56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Wow, Ray! That's sharp. The last photo shows the modified wing glove very well. Great work on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodadriver Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Superb model Ray. Thanks for the tip about Ford Olympic Blue. Maersk blue is a tricky colour to match. Dave G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Beautiful work Ray, I'll have to dig one of my 707/720's out of the stash now! Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26Decals Posted October 26, 2023 Author Share Posted October 26, 2023 Many thanks for your kind comments and likes:) Now I really must finish the Trident 1c 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airbusboy Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Wonderful model and a lovely period backdrop - I'm guessing possibly Manchester or Gatwick ? Olympic Blue is a gorgeous colour and was used by Ford on their Mk1 Escort RS2000s, circa 1973. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Great build Ray, love the scheme you've chosen. I've just ordered some of your Monarch decals to do a 720B along with 1-11 kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Superb build, beautifully finished! I always had a soft spot for the 720, for no good reason that I can think of. Excellent work. 👏👏👏👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbofan Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Hi Ray, Yes, great model and very nice to see some colour! I've often wondered, do you get to build a model of each of the decals you design? Must take up so much space if you do...... or be really frustrating if you don't!! Cheers, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKGBravo1 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Hi Ray, A wonderful rendition of what must be a fairly unique scheme. When I saw your mention of your own decals and liking the scheme a lot, I took a quick detour over to your site to purchase a set. But no such luck. Any chance in the future? I am not a big fan of the 720, but this scheme is simply beautiful. Well done, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Very nice. I love the background of the UK’s No.1 charter airport at the time ;)...... Ah, memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26Decals Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 Thanks again for all of your kind comments and yes the backdrop is LGW. I wish I did have the time and space to make models using all of my decals but with over 1200 I don't think it will be happening this life time Now back to the X-Scale Trident 1 and the Roden Super VC10 (both BA Negus).
