Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 One more airliner I decided to try. Wanted something I had actually flown on as a kid. Added LACI flaps; was tougher than I thought and didn't go as well as hoped. Even with a lifetime of modeling military aircraft, I was surprised at how many basic mistakes I was trying to overcome. I must say you airline builders are most skilled in your area of specialty! Also replaced the strut of the nose gear, after learning from a NWA build how weak that part is. Also reshaped the lip of the tail intake to be sharper, and made clear wingtip lights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) Yes, Andy, I would say that you nailed it perfectly! Lovely build. Love the Republic scheme as well; classic! Edited August 28 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
STEN8 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Wow! That's nice. It really shows off how the 727 wing just fell apart when taking off and landing. Nice job! Harry Lutz, FL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

boeing767mech Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Awesome work, my only suggestion would be to add a bit of sot on the side of the fuselage around the APU exhaust. Seeing your model is bringing back memories of working on 727's early in my career as an aircraft mechanic. David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
