727 1/144 need to procure some parts
Posted by ThaDude on Tuesday, April 27, 2010 7:41 PM

Hey everyone,

  This is my first post on this forum, glad I found it. Just got back into modeling airliners, use to do it when I was in the army.

  Anyways back in my army days I started a 1/144 scale 727 that i never finished, found it the other day in my attic and wanna start it up again, only problem is i'm missing the landing gear and i would like to complete it with the landing gear down. Any suggestions where i could find some gear or does anyone have some extras they could set me up with?

 To fill you in about the 727, I want to complete with the eastern whisperjet white finish, need to find where i can get a set of those decals. Also need to scribe panel lines in the fuselage.

Following up on this, I would also like to know if landing gear could be scratch built and if anyone has done it with thier models.

The eastern whisperjet scheme that i mentioned is one of the scheme's that i want to do. I'm also thinking about the delta widget scheme for it, so i'm in decision mode right now. Where can i get the shades of white for either paint job?

The reason for my schemes is I liked the airlines paint schemes from the 80's and early 90's and want model airliners from that era. I know the whisperjet scheme is from the 70's and eastern switched to an all metal in the 80's. That's pretty much what i want to do with the models i build. I've seen the pics of everyone else's builds and they are awesome!

David,

Check Airline Hobby Supplies in North America for the decals you want. I've always had good luck with them.

Cheers, Aaron
