Looking nice.

As far as the ink is concerned... I'll check what I can do for you Boats. Of course you can use acrylic water paints as well.

Looks great Boats. Nice that they made the seatbelts random rather than printing the same image over and over again.

Here is another update build report fpr the skytrain after letting the skin No, 5 and the interier cabin unit dry over night its time for its installation.. all of the paint work touch up is done before it is installed after the intallation ofr the cabin unit i proceed aft tomorriow I should have the intire fuselage unit completed skin 5 is glued to the forward fuselage unit when it was dried i burnished out the seams nad gave it a coat of areogloss clear dope, in the morning I will resume in the burnishing .. I proceed aft to the rear fuselage skins the skin No.6 I* removed the boading doors i will make them opperable when i get to it when the fusleage is done I will do some weathering it will fill thye bill on my skytrain a paper purist wouldn,t approve of this method but what the hey its all about modeling no beauty contest here thats for certain.. some ereas of the fuselage need a little clean up here and there no sweat I will get it done it will give me something to do while parts are drying Here aree the update pictures.

Boats - love it mate, I'm going to try and get one myself!!!

(My very first model was a paper-card Space Shuttle 'Columbia' btw, approx. 1:72 scale, about 60 cm long. Lost when the garage (my bedroom) got flooded, but never forgot it)

Andy, looked closer at the seat belts after your comment. Seems to be a basic pattern of 3 different forms, repeated for each bench.

Here is another build report for the day looking like a Dakota now or getting there, Ok the rear fuselage unit is now complete letting the structure dry over night tomorroiw i will join the intire fuslage assembly.. On the following pix I have started and finished the cconstruction of the rudder and dorsal fin. I gave the fuselage units a good burnishing to smooth out the seams.. Tomorrow I will have the intire fuselage completed and the fun part will begin with the massive wings, Buty before I get started on that I will do some wearheri9ng on the intire fuselage unit. Here are the updates for the day more tomorrow.

Impressive Boats.

meatloaf109 · Dec 10, 2012

Very!

A4K · Dec 11, 2012

Yep sure is!

Hear ya too Boats. Lost a few models in moves, including a lovely balsa wood Airtrainer I made. Still going too (next move: April), so my current collection is mostly 'transportable bits' rather than complete kits. As I said elsewhere, anything completed over the last 16 years was given away to interested mates or neighbours, rather than have them trashed in the moves.

Wurger · Dec 11, 2012

A good job Boats.

Airframes · Dec 11, 2012

Coming together nicely Boats, and looking more impressive every time. The guys who design these kits are darned good!
