ACAM Model Expo 2019 Challenge Build Official Thread.

I spent a little bit of today working on both my 737s. I'd re-primed my -300 the other day and found a whole lot of areas that needed putty (at one point, I put it through a caustic bath, which I think removed it all..) so I got started on that. I also finished filling in all the windows on my -200.



Now to putty, putty, and more putty!

Oh yeh caustic will eat filler really nicely.

Good to see Damo. That's 5 in the build so far with another 3 (Paul S, Ray S and Brad) awaiting kits. So who else wants in on the action?

[BradG]

Thanks Ray!

What retailers do you guys use for airliner decals?

[Cap'n Wannabe]

I guess that would depend on which one you're building..
Draw Decals is but one...

That's a good one Damo, was just looking for suggested sites based on what people have used and trust. I couldn't find much available in Aus retailers.

Hawkeye does a couple of Ansett schemes, ANZ and Air Pacific if they float your Baby Boeing.

I find Airline Hobby very good for this kind of thing. It's where I found the Aeropostal decals I'll be using.

But, as they say in the classics, 'here are two that I made earlier'.

An Ansett New Zealand -100 made using Hawkeye decals:


I have no idea where I got the Air Nauru decals for this -200 from:

And here's what arrived in the mail this morning. No backing out now ...
