Minicraft 1/144 Eastern Airlines 727-200

This is my first airliner in a long while. It's the Minicraft 1/144 Eastern Airlines 727-200. I thought it was a pretty nice kit - the landing gear is quite delicate, so it will take some careful handling, but it looks pretty nice once you get those decals in place.

Looks great! I should pick up that kit. The 727 is such an iconic aircraft. I assume the kit is still available.

The Miss Piggy, my dad was a sim instructor for these at an airline that operated them. I spent so many weekends as a young teenager flying the sim, great airplane and an awesome build. I have one of these in the stash.
