longmc Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I have a good friend who is returning to the airlines, and will be flying Boeing 777's for American. I I am building the mini craft 1/144 kit for him and would like to find decals for their new scheme. Does anyone know where I can get some decals for this scheme? cheers, Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jennings Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Unless you're far into it already, I'd toss the MC kit in the trash and get a Zvezda 777-300ER. Night and day difference in accuracy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
longmc Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Well, apparently my order has been "lost" in shipping. I did not see the recommendation of paying the additional fee for certified mail when I ordered. Back to square one. Anyone have a set, or know where I can find these in N. America?

JeskiM Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Speaking of those decals and that paint scheme: Exactly what Gray color is it ? Is there an FS equivalent that I can use ? The decals give no instruction as to what colors to paint the aircraft. - Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kg4kpg Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 That's a bummer about your decal order. I bought the same scheme for a 737-800 from Nazca and they arrived just shy of 4 weeks. I didn't upgrade the postage either. I ordered others from them a few years ago and it took a while then so I knew what to expect. As to the color, I don't know either. Google wasn't helpful either.

JeskiM Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Yea, I've come to the realization that there is no single FS color that can match it. After some digging I found that American Airlines refers to the paint color as Silver Mica. I suspect that I will have to experiment using a few different things: 1: Using a silver base color (like Tamiya TS-76) and a Pearl White overcoat (Tamiya TS-45). 2: Use paints that can be found at auto body repair shops that have similar types of effects. 3: Other ideas !?! Anyways, not to hijack this thread. I ordered from Nazca before. It took about 4 weeks for the order to get to me (Texas) from Germany. I also had to contact Gaston to change my address as I didn't notice at first that my address attached to my old paypal acct was for my previous address. I did not pay extra on the postage etc. - Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
