virsago_mk2 Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Model base: Revell 1/200 Boeing 737-200 British Airways Here's my model progress. Actually, my model is almost finished, just need decals since last September. The main landing gear is very-very bad, so I decided to make it in flying pose. Later I'll scratchbuild a display base. Some pics.. Enjoy... Assembled & puttied model. Windows filled with Miliput.. Pylons got thickened with Tamiya Epoxy putty smooth type. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

virsago_mk2 Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 Here's the current model. Still clean, needs some decals. I made my custom decal using Adobe Illustrator CS. Here's a preview of it. Btw, I'm still looking for a blank water slide decal paper. Can anyone help me? Where can I find it in Perth? Is there any great model store in Perth which sells decal paper? Please help me.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big Kahuna Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Hey there, I live in Perth too. Down south in Waikiki. The names Nenad Mitrovic. What's yours? We have a Perth and Districts Model CLub meeting next Wednesday night. Wanna come along? Iron Mike is President. Would be good to see more board members come along. 737 looks good BTW. Discount Hobbies has the Testors decal paper, but also Stanbridges in Mt Lawley has a good range of decal paper too. Give either a try. :huh: Nenad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
