Aloha 757-200

HNL-Chris · 08-19-2001, 02:35 PM

Before Aloha went for the B-737-700 to fly between the west coast and Hawaii, it was suggested that they might fly the B-757-200.

...Now THAT'S what I'm looking for! Can I put some of these on order HNL-Chris!? I knew you guys would come through

HNL-Chris · 08-20-2001, 11:30 AM

Give me a little time to figure out how to do it right as I'm still not totally happy with the results. Once I get the technique down, I would be happy to make one for you.

How do you apply the decal over the windows but still have the windows showing? Becase I am about to make a Midway 737-700.

AV8TOR · 08-20-2001, 11:48 AM

Alrighty then...

When you're ready my order sheet would look something like this ~

x10 - Firm and another x10 -Options!! How 'bout it??

Gorgeous! I'd love to see you come up with decals to do the pinstriping on a Transtar MD-80!

HNL-Chris · 08-20-2001, 09:54 PM

Pinstriping...might be a little tough. Trying to lay a thin line down on one of these models with very fragile decal paper is hard. My photographs are a little forgiving, but if you look closely at the Alaska MD-11 the lines are not as straight as they should be. Clearly this is a process that takes practice and experience and I'm still learning.

To the earlier question on how to have windows come though the decals. Decals are transparent, so as long as the cabin is white you'll get the true color and details such as windows, will show through.

In our first attempt the color of the logo decal was too blue/red. We've redone it and here's the results.

Wow.......great job! I'm pretty impressed.

That is a very cool looking model Chris. I would also be interested in purchasing one! Oh and I see an Alaska MD-11 in the background!
