jasonsw · 10-19-2007, 07:22 AM

also, what material do u use to make those flaps? whoa!

good to see your awesome work once again! it's been so long!

centaur747 · 10-19-2007, 10:34 AM

This looks awesome! It makes me want to start building kits again. And I would really love the flaps and reversers. Is there a way to get those add on parts for customizing?

Hi jason,

It's the old Revell DC-9-15 kit. I belive it's 1/120 scale. I made the reversers/flaps/spoilers from styrene myself.

Thanks for the kind reply!

Yes, I'm still kickin here at a snail pace...lol! Been busy trying to buy/sell to a new home...Errrrrr. Yea, Ray did a GREAT job on the decals and art work for this build. Just have to give him time. He's the best around to scale up any custom size art-work in my book. 1/120 is an odd scale too.
Thanks Kaitanium for the reply. I think your work is great too...
Best,
Brad

Hey,

Thanks again for your reply. Yes I had to fill all the windows (pass/cockpit) before any painting and decals. Also panel lines are a little too much on the top of the wings and a few spots. They were sanded down a bit. It's a great kit. I think Evil-Bay has a few for sale.

Regards,
Brad
