Fly DC-9 finished
Posted by Don Stauffer on Wednesday, October 26, 2016 10:57 AM

Got my Fly DC-9 finished last week.  Rainy spell here, so no outdoor photo backdrop shots- maybe later this week.

Looks just fine, Don. What was the NMF? Sure appears real.

That's a great-looking model, Don.

And it brings back fond memories of seeing these at my home airport a long time ago, so thanks for that.

Polished aluminum Alclad.  I am sorry I used the polished rather than the airframe aluminum. I think it looks just too polished.  I had intended to do more panel work with either frisket paper or Post-its and regular aluminum, but I was racing to get it ready for Nordiccon, and didn't have time.  I may do it yet, one of these days.

The sun is shining today!  That let me shoot outside!  Here are some photo backdrop shots against MSP (Minneapolis- St. Paul).

Okay, there is a major goof in this next picture.  Can you see what I did wrong?

One of (IMHO) the prettiest liveries on any airliners, ever---and your particular aircraft is absolutely stunning! Really nicely done.

Didn't spot your challenge the first time around.

Is it the odd shadow from the horizontal stabilizer---a little too close to the photo background?

Still great work, though!

Great job Don, both aircraft and photo depiction. You are getting that photo thing down!
