I have to say the decals are quite excellent and have not given any problem at all. I actually do like the window decals themselves. They really pop off the green stripe.ShaunW wrote:Wow, those Alitalia decals look excellent, Tony and the build is really coming to life now.

Looks like Lucyfur is something of an expert, considering the eyeballing you're getting!!
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!!

Looks great Tony, I have one of these stalled at the moment. Can't decide on a scheme.
Did you consider using an aftermarket windscreen decal?

Looks terrific. Nice that because the fuselage and wings are different colours, you can add the wings at the end.

It's definitely a plus. It's made it quite easier to decal it also.dwomby wrote:Looks terrific. Nice that because the fuselage and wings are different colours, you can add the wings at the end.

I appreciate the offer, but it's almost done. And while not perfect, the windows did come out ok.RayS wrote:I have a spare, PM me if you want it.coptermech wrote:Never even thought about that.

Re: Airfix 1:144 Alitalia Boeing 727
Aside from mounting this to the base, which is currently stained and drying, the 727 is finally complete. This is the first kit I've done or finished in more than a year. It did help with the modelling mojo a bit. Once I mount it to the base, I'll post some better pics. I did take a little liberty with some of the paint, particularly the engine nacelles. But as I model for the fun and not accuracy, I think it's quite ok. Enjoy, and as always, I enjoy feedback no matter the opinion. And I apologize for the pic quality. I just use my phone camera as it's easier to snap and post.
