I looked at some of your pictures and they were nice. Your site is nice too. I only have these aircraft

Delta 777-200(Geminijet)
Egyptair 777-200(Dragon Wings)
Malasyia Airlines A330(Dragon Wings)
United DC-10-30(Dragon Wings)
United 767-200(Dragon Wings)
World Airways MD-11(Dragon Wings)
Airbus A319CJ(Dragon Wings)
That's what I have now. I plan to get a Continental 757-300 from someplace but not now. It may take time before I get another one but if I do see anymore cheap ones I will probably get one.

Hi mirrodie,

Minicraft MD-80 kit becomes with recessed panel lines, slats, flaps, ailerons and spoilers, so no need to scribe them! I recommend the kit highly, it's exellent! Part fitting is the best I've ever seen in any civil aircraft kit yet!

Welsh MD-11 is a vacu-form kit, it has recessed panel lines too, but because the nature of vacform technique and other things the quality is a bit lower than on injection molded kits (Revell, Minicraft, Hasegawa...). I fill ALL recessed lines on every vac-kit I make (a matter of taste also). What I did with MD-11 was after final clear coat I "scribed" flaps, ailerons and spoilers with dulled pin. Then I rubbed soft pencil against recessed lines [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Oh, and here is the Welsh Models web site: http://www.welshmodels.co.uk

That's right, Minicraft has not released Finnair kit, you have to buy decal separately from Draw Decal: [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Hej Juha,

Nice photos! Did you get your decals from Greg Drawbaugh? He has a great line of decals. I am in the process(very slow process) of building a minicraft 757 in Finnair Santa colors. Keep up the good work.

Jep, that's were I got them! BTW I'm working with SAS MD-80, 87 and A340-300, B737-800 is almost ready! All in current scheme of course [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]


Avianca 757, MD-82 is made from Minicraft kit and MD-11 from Welsh Models. Both in 1:144th scale. I use Badger 150 airbrush for painting. It's difficult to explain all the "trics" and so on, but I suggest you join to AMD (Airliner Modelling Digest) -group:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/airlinermodelling/

Lot's of helpful guys there and a lot of knowledge and tips about modeling! I recommed it highly to everyone, who is interested in airliner modeling!
It's a must [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

And that Avianca B757 in retro colors looks very nice...hmm
Yes Suomi is really cool now, climate is below zero celsius right now [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Thanks for your compliments guys [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
