McDonnell Douglas DC-8 Super 63 Nitto 1/520
Box art
Box rear and comprehensive instructions 😉
Sprues and decals
Fuselage and wing
Wings can be attached without glue ...
Wing tip was dented, so I'm trying to restore it with super-glue.
Done
Wings , stand and tailplanes sprayed Weicon Spray Chrome. Quite good finish for a rattle can.
Wings masked and metallic grey brush painted.
Not bad ....
Old decals being tested in a hidden place ... just in case ... turned out to be good and very thin (too much in fact) .. 🙁
J from Japan wrapped and cracked ... brrrrr 🙁 ... I'll try to do some paint job to correct it
Nearing completion ... from this side looks rather good ,,, isn't it ?
In the end I decided no to fix undercarriage to the airplane ... Just PVA glued it to the inside of the stand ,,,, just in case I change my mind in the future ....
J from Japan Airlines broke and has been hand painted .... could have been worst ... 😉
Finished
