Bri2k Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) You know what they say. Some days you get lucky... ...and other days you get a Minicraft 707. The nose was a rhinoplasty nightmare. I wanted to do something a little different, so I came up with the idea of making pusher engines from drinking straws: Bri2k Edited May 26, 2012 by Bri2k Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bri2k Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 While it's no prize-winner, I learned a lot about the peculiarities of the 1/144 Minicraft 707 which should help me with the other five of these I have in the kit stash. Decals are the 1/144 Minicraft Delta DC-8 set by Cartograph which will curl if you're not careful. The props are white metal courtesy of AeroClub and the engine nacelles were made from drinking straws, drop-tank tips and wheels. I always imagine that something awful happened and Boeing couldn't get working jet engines and had to do something to sell all those 707 orders. I call this the 707P - P for Pusher.

Bri2k Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) Yes I know, the maintenance crew at this airport is slacking badly, especially on runway Bri2k. I should make a 1/144 scale guy with a lawnmower... Bri2k Edited May 26, 2012 by Bri2k Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OHCRJ900 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 It's an original idea..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
