Ray, I am interested to know your thoughts on the Welsh 737 versus the new Aeromodl kits (if, you have one.) Progress is looking good! I see it's on a stick. Are you planning on giving it away as a presentation model? K/r, Dutch

Great eye for detail! Meticulous work as well.

Thanks Gents, @Dutch, I don't have the AeroModl kit (is the 727-200 released yet?). I am sure the AeroModl kit will have a lot more detail and make less work for a project like this, unfortunately they have only announced up to the -500 and the price is a bit rich for me at the moment when you include shipping to this side of the planet. It is for me 🙂 I put some on sticks so I can display more and layer them.

I agree with your thinking. But, you are definitely adding sufficient and simple detail to really make it authentic. I also like the 10/11 Sqn theme. It goes along with your many Orions.

Just found out it's vacform 😮 Any tips&tricks for joining such a huge vacform fuselage?

I wasn't expecting a vacform too

@Łukasz, each fuselage half is 2 parts but it doesn't help much. I reinforce the seams with strips of card to get more surface are to glue rather than just but join each half. I still ended up with a lot of puttying and sanding though. The bulkheads Welsh supply also help but need a bit of work to get them to the right diameter.

The P-8 progresses, antennas installed, primer coat on. I just need to sort out the retraction arms for the weapons bay doors and with weapons pylons.

The Beech in the background reminds me that's the size I usually stick to, as I have no idea where to store the bigger builds 😄

@Łukasz, I should get back to the smaller builds for a bit of sanity. I am working in two 707 types and the P-8 at the moment

Thanks Dutch and Chris, Yes a B200 that has been stripped of paint as it had about 10 layers on it over the years. It is almost ready for a repaint. I am putting it on a stand so need to make some prop disks for it.
