Hi fellas... I uploaded this to the Airliners forum also. Here's the latest progress on the 777. This is what labour day and back-to-routine time availability does to you :) Most things were masked last night, painted this morning. Just added the landing gear :) Thanks Take Care

Hehhe yeah I saw them. Thanks!! Though the ones on this particular bird are gray. Thanks for the heads up. Take Care

Tonight's modelling session included... Take Care

Mothball off... need to touch up on the base of the Vertical Stabilizor... that, and the corroguard underneath, but no full mask is needed now. Pics... Thanks for the comments Take Care

Hey Apparently There's this guy from Inside Tamiya that has leaked some info!!!

I heard they were finally doing the B-17G in 1:48....

I just love the weathering on that thing. Very Nice work. I love it!!! Take Care

Specially the shaded NMF you did there. Preshading? Pastels?? Either way, I like it! :) Take Care

Gotta love the NMF, with different shades. VERY nice work!! Take Care

What the heck?? DUde, it looks as if you dipped it in wash :P hahah Jk. Nice work!! Take Care

One quick question though... how are you going to mask that superb job for the rest of the assembly?? Again, Nice Work Take Care

I don't mix Alclad not even with another Alclad... but I do spray on top of 'em. Gives satisfiying results :) HTH Take Care

Get a Tamigawa.... Nice OOB tu get back in the saddle :) Take Care

Nice Build :) Take Care

Nice!!! building my own with Contrail's Landing gear and corrected nose. After shortening a couple of 737-800 to 700's I preferred to stay away from those, but yours came out nicely :) Take Care

Build and then paint. Some parts requiere paint before assembly, but not wings/fuselages. Take Care

WOw, SUperb work on this build!! Love it. Crips and sharp!!! :) Take Care

I glued using CA, but, like most of the guys here have said, you need to reenforce with something. Styrene works. HTH Take Care

Nice! What boxing is it?? (the question comes for what engines did you use? PRatts, GE or RR??? Nice work. I'm doing mine right now in NMF with Aeromexico COlors :) Take Care

LIKE LIKE LIKE!!! I'm in. I build more civilians nowadays... thanks!! Take Care

I go for Tamiya TS-26 and TS-27. Pure White and Flat White... Take Care

If its a question of it being a -10 instead of a -30, that's no problem at all. I'm planning on building a FedEx bird, and they have both, so.. Take Care

No gloss coat needed for the Aluminum tape (unless you're painting over it, you'll need a Primer. Future works fine). As a sealant, I dip my decals in water, then in future, then after they're set, brush future over them... and finally seal the whole thing with WD-40 ;) HTH Take Care

Yes it does. They need to clean and inspect the props every so hours. As for Performance, yes, but the thing makes up for it aerodynamically. That said, as the thread has so much insisted... It is a Maintenance hungry aircraft. Take Care
