    Lockheed L1011-1/200 Hasegawa

    Thanks, just one slight problem I need to address, the tail is warped, might run it under hot water. I tried bending it but it has "memory" AKA residual stress I guess they call it. No matter I will straighten it.

    Lockheed L1011-1/200 Hasegawa

    Thanks, I am still learning myself, I started building at 10 years old and am now 73 years old. Been there done that many times over and I am amazed at all I am still learning.

    Lockheed L1011-1/200 Hasegawa

    Simple, not all airlines used the same window configuration. Do you not understand that some after market decals , like my Eastern Airline ones, are different?

    Lockheed L1011-1/200 Hasegawa

    Windows puttied up and sanded. I had a seam on top that had a slight step so I filled it and will sand it as soon as the putty hardens.

    Lockheed L1011-1/200 Hasegawa

    I flew on Eastern Airlines from CT to FL, stop over at Miami then to Nassau Bahamas in 1983. Nice flight and HUGE interior, wide body. Here's a period picture of passenger loading in Nassau in the late 70s early 80s

    B-52G-Griffiss AFB 1990s-1/200 DML

    If you build this remember to flip part D2 180 degrees. The piece with the front intake fans has the scoops on top of the engines instead of under them, you have to make a hole in the engine body larger to accept it right side up.

    Air Force One-VC-137C SAM 26000-1/144 Minicraft Freedom One donor kit

    This is the Boeing 367-80, the one and only prototype for the 707. Only one was ever made and did a barrel roll in front of some potential buyers. This is one plane I'd love to see molded in 1/144 plastic.
