John, I can't see the images. I'm sure they are awesome as I have never seen anything less from you.

I like it, John.  Didn't notice the motif pattern on the tail until viewing a larger linked image - neato!

regards,

Jack

John,

That is an absolute fantastic looking build on such a great classic jet  I love it!!!

Yeah, I know, I missed the deadline!  Here is the 1/100 Nitto 727 in Mexicana colors.  I filled the cabin windows with clear resin and sanded them smooth.  The windshield is the kit part and the eyebrows are decals.  I had Mike Vyukil (Vintage Airliners Decals) make some vinyl window masks for the model from some CorelDraw artwork I supplied.  I put on three coats of model Master flat white followed by one coat of the Testors square bottle gloss white, with lots of drying time between coats.  The decals are more CorelDraw artwork drawn based on photos and are a sort of composite, no two Mexicana 727's were painted the same and the markings are to the taste of the person who will end up with the model.  The decals were printed on a Dell 1250C color laser printer.  Two coats of Future sealed everything up.

thanks guys for your comments looking forword to next GB.

Beautiful build Crown Well Done!

Enjoyed watching the builds progress immensely!! Thanks for having me and understanding that I unfortunately had to pull out. If there is going to be another, and I find my mudhen, (update: found the box but not the plane), I will catch the next flight.

Crown, echoing what the others have said - it looks a very fine piece of work. 

I've a few airliners in the stash, and would be stoked if they approach the  level you have achieved.

regards,

Jack

Great looking airliner Crown, I think it looks spectacular.

Cheers

Tony

That is a beautiful build Crown . I wish I could do so well with an airliner. I commend you on keeping all those small protrusions intact.

Thank you for joining up with the GB. Did you want one of those pictures on the Wall or did you want to take one with a background?

Steve

the E4-B is done with one day to spare man that was fun but toooo many tiny parts. Thankyou for this E4-B to be in your Boeing group build

Getting all 18 wheels on that truck. 

latest pics 

Thanks Guy's reaching the due date

Very nice Crown!

Crown - I really like your EB4, very interesting model.

Thanks for the cooments on my 727 everyone. The white wings were just a peculiarity of those schemes Jack. For the earlier schemes that I mentioned, the wings are natural metal as you suggest.

Regards

Tony

OOOO man that is looking fantastic!! So many wee parts to break off.

these are the latest pics of my E4-B for GB still have 6 days!  

Tony, fine looking build, very well done!

Noticed the wings are white, and not the usual metallic finish seen on airliners.  Was this something peculiar to the 727, or more specific to the Ansett Australia liver?

regards,

Jack

WOW! Tony they all look great!! Love the finish on the most recent addition! MMMMMM 727s Wish I had enough room to finish a build that was started by a friend of mine years ago. He bought a 1/72 727! It's huge lol. Used to work with him, he found out that I model in 1/72 and was clening out his stash a bit and wanted to know if I wanted some kits. Stupid question lol. One of the ones he was getting rid of was this 1/72 727! I could have kissed him lol , not really butI was over the moon. I didn't even know that there was a kit of the 727 that size!

Here's my 727, also officially finished. It's in Ansett Australia livery from the 1980s. THe last few photos are of my three 727-200s, all in different Ansett livery dating from the early 80s to Ansetts sudden demise in 2001. They are all the same aircraft, registration VH-INR, and cover the service life of that aircraft with Ansett. I still want to do another 727-200 in Ansett's 1970s scheme, and a 727-100 in Ansett-ANA colours from the 60s, but these will have to wait for another GB.

The model is ok, but just ok. In the end a few flaws bothered me.

Looking at the models completed for this GB, I'd say it's been outstanding, and a big thank you to everyone that has contributed, but most of all to modelcrazy for administering it.

Cheers

Tony

Steve, you are a machine.  Another excellent example of a Boeing airliner.

regards,

Jack
