Thanks Don! It's all paint, under a finish coat of Testors GlossCote.

Looks great. Is it all paint or is some of the NMF Alclad?

Very nice. My father, too, flew the 727 for TWA.

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.

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

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.
