Hi Everyone, I wanted to share some photos of my recently completed Aurora 737-200 finished with DRAW Decals' Aloha Airlines livery. It was originally intended for a 737-700, but with a little bit of work, they got the job done. A lot of people simply collect these old kits and never build them. True, they do show their age in some areas, but for me, it was an added treat working with plastic that dates back to 1968. I did add a set of resin engines from Contrails, as well as scratchbuilt flap fairings. I took a tiny bit of liberty and added the BOEING 737 titles to the engines, as

Thank you everyone for the compliments and kind words! And Skyhawk... I definitely recommend DRAW. His digital silk decals are very well printed, very durable, but also exceedingly thin. If you've never used them before, it takes a bit of practice. My best advice is to slide them directly from the backing paper onto the surface of the model wasting no time and being very careful not to let them roll-in on themselves. Beyond that, they produce a fine result!

Hi everyone! This is also up over on airlinercafe, but I wanted to share a couple of photos of my newly completed Hawaiian DC-10. I've been chasing after this project for years and years. I originally completed this kit (Doyousha/Entex) as N101AA the prototype DC-10 in it's American Airlines livery, but a big scale Hawaiian Air -10 has always been what I've really wanted. Now thanks to DRAW's new Hawaiian DC-10 sheet, I'm able to say I've got one :) I was even able to name her N122AA 'Kauai' which was really cool because I've got a lot of special memories of time spent on that island.

The owner of the Boeing 40 is actually friends with my teacher. I believe he stopped by here as a guest-speaker last week or so. It's great to finally see the pictures!

Skyway is a GREAT place. One of the last remaining hole in the wall "model shops".

Completely, utterly speechless.

Uh......... wow. Just wow.

The Typhoon comes to mind as well...

Sure was. I woke up at 1:00 and could still hear rotors turning up there, though it sounded like they were on the ground by that time.

I was #108 once upon a time. Long story...

That's funny, I saw / heard it too. Are you sure it was a UH-60? My guess is that they were shooting some night approaches.
