She's certainly looking good

That's going to look STUPENDOUS! 

[Dizzyfugu]

Thank you. Yes, that silver/orange outfit not only looks good inj itself, it suits the 727 also very well!

Wooooow Dizzy, this 727 is looking good! Always loved the Mexicana colors as it look a little like some of the liveries fo US carriers in the fifties and sixties.

Love it!

What rattlecan did you use? (white aluminium allright but, what's the brand?)

Congratulations! I love this addition to the British and Soviet airliners with such engine layout...

That's really good looking Dizzy

Thank you, glad you like it! Did some more finishing touches yesterday evening, including the windows and some touch-ups. And with a black radome the confusion is perfect!
Unfortunately I had to remove the main landing gear again and lower it by 2mm, but now the stance is really good. Maybe I can apply a final coat of gloss varnish today, and then the preparations for the pictures start. The model is quite big (compared with my standard works), so that I will have to scratch bigger backgrounds. But I think that esp. flight scenes should look spectacular with this bright bird.

1:144 Boeing 727-301; "XA-DOK", operated by Aeroméxico (Aerovías de México, S.A. de C.V.); late Seventies (Whif/modified Minicraft kit) - WiP by dizzyfugu, on Flickr

Very beautiful!

[PR19_Kit]

Even without its tailplane it looks sensational! 

I think you should bring it to Telford in November and slide it onto the Airliner SIG stand. We'd hear the howls for miles! 

[TheChronicOne]

Magnificent!!!   Can't wait for the Glamour Shotz (TM).

[ChernayaAkula]

Looks great! 

The Aztec head motif on the fin could also work really well as a roundel, I think.

[Old Wombat]

That is awesome!

[Dizzyfugu]

Again, thanks a lot - never expected that this relatively simple build gets so much attention an positive feedback!

Varnish session was susccessful, despite high ambient temperatures. Now some final assemblies (tail, wheels) and it is finished. I also scratched some larger background posters, this one should look awesome above the Andes.
