Airfix 1/144 DC-9

Posted by kg4kpg on Wednesday, February 24, 2016 10:25 PM

Airfix 1/144 DC-9. I messed up two sets of decals in a row on the DC -9 so she ended up plain white with a NASA logo on the tail. The actual NASA scheme has a blue stripe down the side but didn't have that. I just wanted it done. Call it a whif if you will.

I like the Marine and Navy schemes. The kit really wasn't a bad build. I didn't need any filler but had to do a little clean-up on the engines. I can't attest to accuracy but looks like a DC-9 to me.

Thanks. I've been lucky so far using Tamiya and Model Master gloss white. After I decal, MM gloss clear to finish. I was using Krylon Fusion flat with Future Shine before decalling, but the last bottle I bought was yellowing for some reason. Not much, but enough to say it wasn't white anymore.
