Barmy!  Loving the colours Kit.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Me too, and they're REAL, for goodness sake! I have enough AirCal sheets left over to do something else too.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

All painted up & (almost) fully decaled (decalled? :-\ ) this looks much, much better than I was expecting it to.

Well done, Kit! Great job! :thumbsup:

:cheers:

Now I have the windows and windscreen decals I've made lots of progress today.

All the windows and most of the emergency exits are in place, plus the windscreen of course. It looks much more like an aircraft now, but I have to make some more emergency exits as the ones I have in stock are breaking up.  :banghead:

I WAS hoping to post pics of the finished DC9-60TW tomorrow morning as I've added all four wings, the landing gear and scratched the tiny landing gear doors over the last few days. I'd also glued the rear stairs in place and was about to add the etched frets for its handrails this evening, but the darn thing slipped out of my grasp and crashed to the floor!  :banghead: :banghead:

Three of the wings have come un-glued and the nosewheel leg has gone, although I've found the two tiny nosewheels. Mrs_PR19 and I are off for an Autumn break tomorrow so I'm not going to even try any more work on it before we get back next Friday.

Sometimes I HATE gravity!  :angry:

Of course this also means I'll be a nosewheel leg short on another of my DC9s, grrrrrrrrrrrrr..............

You wouldn't be saying that if you kept floating up into the trees whilst on your Autumn break !  :thumbsup: Too bad about the drop...but it sounds fixable. Have fun on your holiday and we're looking forward to seeing this all wrapped up !
