Vidar_710 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Need some guidance on my 1/100 Doyusha Boeing 767 project. I want to convert it from a -200 to a -300. Where (in the fuselage) and how long would the hull extensions be in 1/100 scale? Thanks a bunch... pictures and or drawings if you got them please. Tracy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vidar_710 Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Just recently received my 1/100 scale 767-300 American Airlines decals for this project. :-) Tracy Edited November 3, 2017 by Vidar_710 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 American Airlines livery....NICE choice ! I have always loved the natural metal AA schemes. Those and these MD-80's by US Air: One of these builds I will need to try a natural metal scheme. Good luck with the build and please post pictures.

Vidar_710 Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 Unfortunately, it's the new livery. :-/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) So when do you start? I have the new livery decals for the 1/144 777-300 and am wondering what colour you will use for the fuselage Tracy Edited November 7, 2017 by Trojan Thunder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vidar_710 Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 I'm gonna have to get back to you on that one. I'm gonna come up with some mixes and make some swatches. I'll go out and do a pre-flight instead of letting my First Officer do it so I can see how close I get. My guess is to start with a Gloss White base with various amounts of Silver added in each mix. The color is actually a tad Pearlescent or Candied. But you have to be really close to see it. Tracy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tracy Hi Tracy, Probably a day late and a dollar (or ten) short, but what about adding the silver (and maybe a bit of white) to clear coats and layer that up until you get the effect you want. Or reverse it: a silver base and add white to clear for the overcoats, like the "candy" coats on cars. Or go look at nail polishes - can't imagine there isn't a pearlescent white nail polish that would fill the bill. Look forward to seeing your result, whichever way you go.
