Many have posted about their dislike to the hushkit "Pipes"...to me, they look cool. Purchased this release a year ago on Ebay. Nobody wanted it, so at 9.99; I was happy to snap it up.

Thanks for the nice editorial pics TCS.

Sure they look cool. What I - and many others as well - dislike is the sound coming out of these "pipes" as opposed to "no pipes".

Nice pics Trevor!

Nice pics Trevor!

Hushkits suck. period. Plus, these are a bit too narrow on the model.

On the other hand, anything Trevor puts on that diorama of his is gonna look like gold!

This model is one of my faves along with the DW PanAm 722Adv.
Why are there so few 72s with winglets?

Delta tested them for a very short time....but the scheduled 727 days in the US are long over. Miss them for sure~

Always enjoy visiting Trevors airport and I quess I am one of the few people here who prefer the DW 722 over the GJ model. Nice set up.

Thanks, didn't know that.

There used to be a B721 w/winglets operating out of Adelaide but I haven't seen it for a while now. There was another privately owned version based in Sydney.
Maybe they too (sadly) have been put to pasture.

Steve, you are not alone in being a fan of the Dragon B727s.
My absolute faves are the United Stars and Bars 722/721 set I have. Just fantastic. Oh, the Ansett pair are also excellent.

Count me in as a huge fan of Trevor's airport and DW's 727s!

I Wouldn't Say Few. DW Is Still More Accurate & Collectors With Eyes See That.
