Airfix 1/144 scale 727-200 VH-TBM TAA 70's

Here you go Paul, here's the Airfix kit that I'm chopping up to make more accurate. I've put resin engines on it, including centre engine exhaust with aluminium pipe in the the centre engine intake.

The wing fences on the leading edge of he that wing are incorrectly represented on the Airfix kit.. On the kit they are on the wing trailing edge which you will need to cut off and then make your own for leading edge. I used plastic card for that. Cut and sand to required shape.

The nose needed a bit of work to make it look Boeing as well..still WIP on mine.

Other than that it's ok..

That looks great Stu. Being a lazy prick, I won't be going to your extent except for the wing fences. Just incase I have a rush of blood to the head and want to do mine properly, where does one acquire said engines and nose from

[Capt NG]

The nose I'm shaping out of milliput and eye ball mark 1.. The engines I got off Ray Seppala years ago.. Don't know where he for them from.. But Airline Hobby Supplies in Pheonix USA sells them..

[hrtpaul]

Thanks mate. I'll look into the engines me thinks

[Knotty]

That's coming along nicely Stu , you have done a fair amount of work on it by the look of it .

It will be a great looking 727 when finished I'm sure .
