Will do - Thanks! I have been on vacation and away the last few days. I appreciate the help all around!

I saw that post -And I have seen some.... lets say interesting replies to help requests there. So whatever is said I take with a grain of salt lol. What I might do is try and compare the Revell 319 to the Zvezda 320 and mark up the 320 to see where the best cuts are - but I was trying to avoid finding that old build

Thanks Dutch!

I have found several graphical representations of how and what to do in order to make the 747-400 from a Zevezda 8i (see below), and similar chop conversions for the 767 and 777 - but for the life of me I cant find anything similar for the A320- to A319. I searched the "New" airlinercafe, but nothing. Is there someplace else I missed? Thanks!

Just to be clear - the brown I used was mixed and matched to the brown printed within the UPS logo on the decal sheet. I have zero idea how that matches to the real Pullman brown. I think if I was to do it again, I might make it a bit darker (a shade or 2). In bright sunlight it looks a bit too bright to me (and I am annoyed that the engine white doesn't match too).

The kit was great - I have seen people rip on it for being a mess. But I didnt blast through it.. The only issue was the bottom between the landing gear - that took a bit of finesse but other than that, it was great - I have 2 more to do as well as a few 800i's. So Ill defer if needed - but from what I remember, Pullman brown is an old railroad color that was used by UPS because of its "elegant" feel and look - and yes its copyrighted - see HERE From what I have seen the brown has not changed at all during UPS's history so the older cheat line livery is (in theory) the sam

I mixed my own from Tamiya brown, with a drop of black as needed to match the brown section of the decal (which is what the tail logo is. I have more images on my site. https://philciborowski.weebly.com/uploads/1/1/1/1/111128705/ups-747-5_orig.jpg

Super excited with how this is looking! I am taking copious notes so (hopefully) mine can be half as good! Where did you get the cockpit PE from? And have you run across for any for the EF? I might just snag two and use those, since the canopy does not have an option to be opened..

Following with great interest - I have these kits myself and was looking for just this type of thread!

1/72 Italeri B-57B straight from the box.

It's actually in Garden City, New York (Long Island). Best place to go if you want to see one of these up close and in person. Much better than the Air and Space Museum IMO.

Just watched those videos - rekindled my need to build an airliner (and not one for my classroom!) I thank you, my wallet does not!

I built 3 of them, and thats the construction method i chose for the 2 that survived. One is AF, the Other BA, and the AF one - the nose works.. yea its not the greatest kit but its still Concorde, and its still 1/72 and its still very impressive when finished.

First post back here in a long, long time- and i have to say that this is simply spectacular! fantastic work!

looks like its going to be a winner! i love that scheme too!
