Braniff 'Flying Colors' 727-200
Posted by B17Pilot on Thursday, August 1, 2013 10:48 PM

Just finished a repaint/fix of an 1/144 Airfix 727. It originally had Pan Am markings on it, but it was done when I first started modeling again. I found many errors on it, so I stripped the paint, fixed problems and found Braniff decals for it.

Sorry for the late reply, been buried in Microsoft books. I'm not sure who made the decals, I'll check when I get home, hopefully I saved the instruction sheet with the left over decals.

Well I finally got around to searching for those decals. The Braniff decals came from Flight Path #44101

excellent build and colour scheme - seems like a very long time ago since I remember seeing a 727 around the UK

I was able to get the Braniff font on line and am now able to print my own using CorelDraw and my Alps MD-1000 printer.
