Hi,

Thanks!

Jboulin94 · 02-01-2008, 07:38 PM

Lookin good!

Bill-ay · 02-01-2008, 07:48 PM

Gratis John!

RT404 · 02-01-2008, 08:28 PM

I am really looking forward to see this one!! Excellent work so far~

Bill-ay · 02-01-2008, 08:40 PM

Thank you very much! Should be done realll soon.

B-16707 · 02-01-2008, 09:04 PM

my housemate is making this one too! hes gonna chrome out the underbelly with some alclad.

cant wait to see your finished work. for a dude your age billay you make some outstanding models. i couldnt build anything like you when i was that young

Bill-ay · 02-01-2008, 09:19 PM

Im flattered Kai

Thank you for the compliment. Did your buddy finally find one? I guess so! Can I see some pics of his? Tell him that Alclad Chrome dosnt look that good (trust me), it's wayyyy to bright and shiny. Mine is used with regular Alclad.

B-16707 · 02-01-2008, 09:24 PM

naw he didnt find one. just got a ana tristar and getting custom decals made.

hes all over the chrome alclad so i wont spoil his dreams haha.
your underbelly was alclad? which one?

Bill-ay · 02-01-2008, 09:32 PM

WHICH ANA KIT? IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE MOHICAN SCHEME FOR EVER! I WILL BUY THE KIT FROM HIM AND SELL HIM MY BLANK TRISTAR KIT!

It's the regular aluminum one-the most basic. Undercoat and overcoat of Future.

Bill-ay · 02-10-2008, 07:16 PM

I got the whole other side decaled. Luckily the decals didnt "blow-up" on me this time. One of the strip decals had one too many windows, so luckily it spit right where I needed it to split so I could easily over lap one window.
Kai, the Alclad is quite flat in color, but sort of glossy.

ccs757 · 02-10-2008, 07:42 PM

It looks very nice so far!!!, btw, is that stair homemade??

Bill-ay · 02-10-2008, 08:16 PM

Gracias senor! No, they came in a Hasegawa JAL MD-11 kit.

B-16707 · 02-10-2008, 09:33 PM

oic, regular aluminum is the one i bought too...doesnt look like it has much of a WOW factor to it huh. looks like i could have save my money and just used matte aluminum acrylic.

He has the ANA mohican tristar. BUT the plastic is being used, if you want the decals and the box im sure that can be arranged. maybe a decal swap? i dunno.

Bill-ay · 02-10-2008, 09:54 PM

That would be great! Is it the new box or the Love Liner box? Do you have his e-mail? Thanks!

I just printed out some new strip-nose decals for this bird. I can not afford to loose the nose decals, as it would be nearly impossible to fix them.

B-16707 · 02-10-2008, 10:25 PM

yea its the new box, not love liner, i know you are collecting love liners. let me know what you wanna do. are you in this for the decals or do you want the box. he gave me the go ahead if you wanna do a trade for the box+decals for your cx decals.

Bill-ay · 02-10-2008, 10:53 PM

hi Kai, I was really just looking for the Love Liner box and the Love Liner decals (I know theyre the same though). I would still like just those decals though, and the instruction sheet that came with it, and I guess the box

As you can see, my cx decals are already on my model. If you want me to peal them off and give him dry, torn apart decals thats fine with me (sorry, had to be sarcastic on that one). What would he like instead?

B-16707 · 02-10-2008, 10:58 PM

ah i misunderstood and didnt read that you were trading the blank kit. yea he really needs the decals =P, if you want the decals and box and instructions thats no problem if you wanna pay for them now.

B-16707 · 02-10-2008, 11:30 PM

i got good news for you billay. PMed

smoothjazz · 02-20-2008, 12:35 AM

Looking great Bill, btw who made the stairtruck?

Bill-ay · 02-21-2008, 05:37 PM

Thanks Benjamin. The stairs came in with a Hasegawa JAL MD-11 model kit as a bonus, I guess. I can post more pics of the stairs if you wish.

lufthansa340 · 02-21-2008, 10:28 PM
