brilliant work, love the starfighters
-
built one of these recently, first time I've done one
could be better here n there3 but I guess it's ok...
hope you like and comments welcome...
-
Could you not turn it into some other model and livery... :D
dont think I want to...Like I said, I've had it a while and I'm attached to it
..or chop engijes off either.
I do have a to-do project of a 747 in for a heavy D with everything stripped out, all the frames inside etc etc
and maybe one that has been stored and parted out.
-
it did turn out nice n I do like it
what scale is it??
-
1/144 scale revell 747-121
Built this a while ago now so its beginning to show its age I guess...
I added a bit of extra to the gear legs btw...
-
thats amazing. I love it.
Just hope my USN stuff looks as good when I get round to doing them
-
nice work, they look smart
-
I have a slight obsession these days with helicopters....I have a USN sea king on the bench, and just got a royal navy aew as well....and more I want to do as well...
"sigh"...so many to build.....
-
lol....just posted some more 707's....
ty for the kind comment
-
My Pan Am 707 collection - still got more to add tho'...PA had a big fleet, all versions
all 1/144 scale, revell and airfix kits, one minicraft, with mods here n there....
they might not be totally accurate but they do at least represent the aircraft reasonably enough (hopefully)...
where needed I shortened the fuselages, changed engines, things like that
The first one...B707-121 revell kit, modified(yes I know there's a bit missing off the nearest engine - I have fixed it!!!)
B707-320 as delivered with short fin, mods to the engines
B707-321B Minicraft kit 1
B707-321B Minicraft kit 2
B720, modified from the revell kit
I could probably do with some better pics actually..............
-
I didnt know Matt, never had any reason to contact him, just admired what he did, like a lot of others.
Not sure what to build so any advice would help
thanks

I spend most of my model surfing time on Britmodeller and I didnt know Matt personally either
But I'd be happy to build something
Not sure what tho' so some advice would be helpful

IIRC, Pan Am never took delivery of the Douglas aircraft since the 707's were delivered first. United may be similarly hedging their bets. It wouldn't make any economic sense to operate both types.
Not only did Pan Am take delivery and operate them they actually had, to start with, a bigger order for the DC8 than the 707...
PA went on to have a massive 707 fleet and never ordered another new aircraft from Douglas again
(and before anybody says anything, PA's DC10's were inherited from national after the merger)
first time sluf

I thought it was very good, not hard to build, tho the instructions arent too clear about mounting the stuff under the wings.
Apart from that, I enjoyed it. Just wish I had a few more of thier kits
thanks again for the kind comments
