I couldn't resist, a 70% scale of the T7-300 panel in poster form, much bigger than I thought...and there's the overhead and center console as well...glad I didn't opt for the full-size version.
SWMBO is ok with this part...not sure how to sneak the rest in ...may have to move it to the lads area. <_<

The 737 is a kit from a company called Skyline (Daco) models. I think it's the best 73-400 in 1/144, but hard to find now.(Ive got 3)
This one was a test run and far from perfect...but I like the way it came out. I love those old girls ... I'm a real Parcel air fan boy.

A little 1/144 GE-90.

That 737 has come up pretty well mate. Good work. You know the pitfalls now so you'll find the next one easier.

Cheers Nick, just a tester ....and much dirtier than the real PAK.
Lots of bits are not fitted, and the cargo door is wrong ....but, I have it on the desk for inspiration.

The weathering around the front door looks quite convincing. The next thing will be to take a knife to the join lines along the fuselage before painting. The intake ring and the wing roots look a bit tricky.

Young Nick, to be honest, I feel sorry for sacrificing that kit to fit and decal testing. I just threw it together.
However, I've learned a lot, and the next one will be worth showing. I will seek advice from you when I start.

Picking away at the TriStar, 747 is still on hold ...really need to settle on one subject :rolleyes:

Cool model. If you changed the rego to PAT the weathering would be quite accurate :D

Thank you Sir , the proper build will be PAT . Will try to get some close-up detail shots of all her bits beforehand.
