Aussi and Rob, those are nice 707/135's!

I got a light coat of primer on the X-20 today. So far it's not looking to bad.

I also started on the instrument panel

Very soft detail.

I concur..that resin kit is very cool. I managed to get some work on the 707 tonite. White/aluminum and some decal work (I needed to see some progress!). Hopefully the big decals will settle down overnight.

Sweet looking build Rob.

Hey Mach, the X20 is looking good under the primer. Looks like you have got most of the resin covered nicely. Rob, the VC-137 is looking good with some paint and decals. I always like the decalling stage for my builds as it means i am almost finished! You have also reminded me about the Dragon 1/144 VC-25 AF1 kit I have in the stash.

I filled the few pinholes, sanded, and reprimed.

The surface is looking not too bad. The instrument panel and seat are just dry fitted to see how everything fits.

Looking good Mach, those are some deep panel lines.

I have been masking the 738 , needless to say the winglet has broken off for the 4th time now and I am running out of "want to complete the model need"

It will be my last airliner for a long time :-(

I will however complete it...

Hang in there Theuns, your almost there. I've never built one with winglets so I can not feel your pain.

I am Loving that X-20 !

I am calling this 777 Done. The Decals are from Liveries unlimited, I was worried they would not snug down tight. But in the end all worked out great. I cant wait till Zvezda releases thier 777-300. This kit was pretty terrible.

i seem to have gotten into 1/72 (OTS) helicopters. we have one entrant here so i am tempted to change my build to a helo; MH-6, CH-46, MH-47, if i do there will be zero ground stuff as it looks like i have the only one with the JGSDF PATRIOT. and the Trumpeter 1/35 are due out the end of the year. ummmmm?

Whaaaa? Wayne is thinking of building a target?

That's fine Wayne, any one of those would do.

All builds are looking great!!! The weathering is awesome! I work at Melbourne Australia airport and must say that not all airliners are pretty up close. Wink

Great job B1 Yes very nice masking, I've always liked United's colors, and the 777 is such a great looking plane. You really did it justice as you always do.
Thank you so much for being a part for the build, and when Zvezda releases their 777-300, maybe you could jump in again with that one.

I updated the roster and Cody will get you up on the wall just as soon as he can. He's been pretty busy as of late.

Thanks MC, I will probably do one more. It will be a 1/72 kc-135A converted into an R model. Won't start till mid September though. But thanks again.

Nice job on the United B777 Garrick (B-one). Just saw this build on FB in the Scale Aircraft group as well. Thought I was seeing double :-) You mentioned Flightpath decals there and Liveries decals here, which were they? I do recall Minincraft supplied these decals in one of their first boxings of this kit.

Pretty looking 777 B_One, and I dont mind posting both here and on the Airliners forum. The 777 happens to be my favorite airliner now.

Thanks all, Yeah the decals are flightpath not liveries, i was looking at an aloha airlines decal sheet while I was posting the 777 on here and the Aloha one is liveries unlimited.
