That looks great! I always marvel at guys who can do photo etch successfully. That stuff it literally the bane of my existence.... Love the added riveting detail also!

Robert, PM sent

I have this kit in the stash, I'll take a look tonight when I get home. Mike

I like it! I'm with Loach, I think the weathering visually suits the model very well. Nice job!

That’s awesome! You pretty much nailed the look, bud. Back when I crewed, we had no concept of masking our sealant jobs, just an index finger and spit. Always turned out looking like butt😂

Awesome, great info, Dutch! Btw, I got your PM. I’ve definitely got my work cut out for me!

Perfect, Thanks Andy!

Does anyone know what version Texan this is? @Dutch I know you have an extensive library of New England aviation, and most probably have the answer but I feel you may be covered up in post hurricane restoration. I'm starting my nesting chores on a New Hampshire ANG aircraft lineage collection, but I want to make sure I’m getting them right. If anyone else can help with versions of other a/c flown by the 133rd out of NH, wether it’s Grenier or Pease that would be awesome! Thanks in advance Mike

Wow! When I started scrolling down the first picture began to come into view, I initially thought it was a reference picture of the actual jet taking off! Very convincing. Maybe I should take a 14 year break...... Well done👍

These are A321

These are 737-900

The first 5 are of an A350.

Yes, there are 51 A319-100 in service right now. Unfortunately, Delta never ordered the 787 opting for the A350-900 with 33 in service and 20 A350-1000 currently on order. I'll see what's out there later today.

A brief interwebs search for mask sets came up empty, but if you give me the aircraft you'd like to model I can run out to the hanger and gets ref pics for you. Obviously, not of the triple-seven since the company no longer flies it, but of everything else currently in service shouldn't be a problem. Mike

Thanks Greg!
