MaRiO FDZ Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) Hi fellas... I uploaded this to the In-Progress Pics 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 Edited November 30, 2011 by MaRiO FDZ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MaRiO FDZ Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Thank you Fellas :) So my airbrush got kaputt, so no painting... that leaves Decals!!! :D Thanks for your comments :D Take Care Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFlyingDutchman Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 The decals look awesome on the bare metal!! Will there also be some more coloring on the wings like shadowing between the moving surfaces and walkway stripes? :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaRiO FDZ Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) Thanks man :) yes, I still need to wash the panel lines (which I deepend engraved them prior to painting), and some filthying up of the control surfaces. I have no airbrush right now, so I'm stuck with decals or assembly only, so... hehe But thanks again!! :) Take CAre Edit to add Sunlight Photos...

boeing767mech Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Nice looking model. If you don't mind I have one comment. Your nose gear is to tall. The top of the nose landing gear is mounted too low is should have more of the flat vertical casting in the wheel well. If I can I will try to get you pictures of one of my airplanes and the wheel well. 777 have a slight nose down angle, and yours looks to be level. David Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Very interesting, but at the same time that's an easy fix. I'll see what I can do about it, I'm using aftermarket landing gear, so I'll see how to shorten it. Thanks for the heads up Take Care Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaRiO FDZ Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 I 'zed Easy fix :) Thanks! Take Care Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Chladek Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Just don't take that model flying with you Mario, or else sunlight coming through the cockpit windows might glint off that finish and blind you. ;) MANNN that is one BRIGHT looking polished aluminum look. I LIKE IT!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GraemeT Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Great paint job on this 777, especially in the sunshine. Masking looks very sharp. Look forward to seeing the completed work. Graeme Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaRiO FDZ Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Thank you very much Guys :) I just hope I can get my airbrush back quickly to finish this baby. Next in line, either a Trumpy Vigilante 1:72 or an Academy 1:48 Apache... Take Care Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaRiO FDZ Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hi fellas Still no airbrush, so that leaves non painting items... Wash and weather. Oil washed Mineral spirits with Flat black. No complains what-so-ever. Thanks for your comments Take Care Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guilherme Kosciuv Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Great work!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaRiO FDZ Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Fellas: FINISHED!!! Well, sort of. Waiting for a minor decal on the engines (GE Decal) and it is officially completed. Took about a year to finish, with major road blocks, but Done. First one I've finished in almost 3 years. Guess I haven't lost my groove :) Anyways Thanks for your comments Take Care Outdoors: Indoors: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
