Wow Brad!

Your port side rear photo almost looks like the real thing.

Great work. Hope you have some to enter into the competition at the national convention in July. I am sure you will do well.

These photos make me say more, please!

Thanks so much DLmd11. Yes I like that photo too. I might have to build one for myself for the convention in July! Here is a better pic of the build for you!

Pardon my inattention, Brad! I really thought this is the same thread as the earlier one since it's the same title but it's truly a master piece of work! Great job! Again, I love those weathered details on the wings, flaps and rear fuselage!

Thank You D-AIHC!

I guess it's sorta of the same thread... I ran out of photo space in my storage and had to delete some photos...I hate to delete some of the older pics to make room for new photos. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks Again,
Brad

The decals have a very thin coat of future on them. Just don't cover your brush strokes when brushing the Future on.

I'm sure I sound like a broken record by now Brad, but nice job my friend! The best part is, she's all mine! haha.

Guys, as good as she looks in the pics, I can tell you she looks even better when she's right in front of you.

Zubart, the Daco kit is very nicely done if you've never seen one up close, so good choice and look forward to seeing your Aloha 737!

I love the flap detail! The B737 in the dirty config. looks amazing. Well done Brad. If I had the coin (and space to show models) I'd commission you to make me a Southwest B737-300 mustard rocket.

Hi Brad

I was just thinking to put the post here so others can see it as well .

Can you please tell me is there any kitset that actually has transparent windows ? ( WOW imagine the beauty you made with that )

And one more question , Sorry if its dumb one but I dont know much about modeling , Dont the decals come off after a while ? or that "Yellowing "syndrome that happens to some of the diecast models in the custom build models?

Iam overly excited Honestly I get goosbumps when I look at your models . Absolutely fantastic !! When my time comes for my own 735 ?


Kind regards,
Ben

Hi Ben,

The decals should stay clear after time...The thin coat of Future hopefully will prevent any tarnishing or yellowing of decal film glue. Also decal solvent helps remove any extra decal film glue that is left over too. The -200 Airfix has clear/open square windows.

Brad
