Revell B-738 completed! :)

Hi all,

I had originally planned to cut up two kits and make a -900 series, but after the first one was used as a "chew toy" for the dog, I just went ahead and done this one as the -800. This kit was built as N26215, Flight #1726, from Newark to San Diego; the airplane my wife and I made our first non-stop coast to coast trip together in, on Sep 1 '07. :coolio:



*No aftermarket parts were harmed in the construction of this model*

The kit supplied winglets and engines were cut, filed, filled, and sanded. Aluminum Foil was used to replicate Natural Metal areas.


Enjoy,

Take care,

instead of the tin foil have you seen the Alclad airbrush paints, they can give you the same effect only smoother.

Yes, I am familiar with Alclad and do use it on some applications, but foil can be made to be AS smooth as the paint, and, you have more texturing leeway with foil, using some #0000 steel wool and a piece of t-shirt material. <

Looks pretty smooth to me. <
