Like this!  I don't know how  far down the rabbit hole you want to go, but I an faairly certain the SAS 767s had P&W engines, whereas the Zvezda kit comes with GE engines only.  The differences are subtle however. (shorter and more rounded hot exhaust cowling).  Sergey Druz makes the correct P&Ws, but they are expensive.

Must be something in the air (or to do with people named Kevin!)

Had a quick 'in the box' visual of it last evening. Generally, a very nice looking kit with extremely fine engraving detail. It has good old fashioned moulded window apertures and windscreen transparencies, but no internal bulkheads or cockpit detail! My example does exhibit some fairly severe warpage on the right wing and a more minor one on the right upper fuselage half, but otherwise, is good (my understanding is that most of these kits are OK, but that some do occasionally suffer from this problem).

Nice one, Derek!

That should be nice - Good luck Kev.
 
I think that I may still have an old Welsh Models vacform SAS MD-80 or 90 somewhere, but I suspect that the decals will all be cracked due to aging!
 
Derek

Nice! I have an SAS MD-80 underway that I need to finish, a gift for a good pal.

Glad you're still at it Anothony!  Nice work.  

Great work Kev.

Fantastic work from you Anthony (and, I assume, Kerry as well). That nose leg is gorgeous and looks so detailed - very definitely (and visually obvious) FG.1 nose leg! The auxiliary intake door modifications also look spot-on.
 
Thanks for the update.

Finished.  This build fought me every step.  Almost made multiple trips to the bin.  You may have heard the screams.  *I never got my lazy butt organized to post finished pics in a timely manner.

Looks great!

I decided I needed a nice easy Tamiya build. It's a fantastic kit that literally clicks together. I added some aftermarket decals from Moose, which are very nice. Sweden purchased a batch of nightfighter mossies post war that served into the 1950s. Most were left in their British colours, some however were repainted, this is one that was repainted.
 

 

 

Another one bites the dust.
Finished this fun and different project. It's a commission build of a Gripen C but painted up like the Gripen E prototype.
I have to say that I'm, myself, partial to this scheme. It's simply gorgeous and fun to paint.
The kit is the Kittyhawk in 1/48 with a bit of CMK resin and Aires exhausts. And it's a horrible kit as you know...this particular one suffered from the fuselage halves being of different length....
But I'm not griping about the Gripen... I'm a modeller after all :P.
Anyways here is what it ended up like.

Cheers and thanks for the peaks

With the Minicraft build almost at the finish line, I thought I'd share the current state of this one:
 

 
Despite weeks of filling/sanding/priming, there's still a couple of minor flaws to fix, but it's nearly ready for paint. The question is, re-scribe the fuselage or no?
 
Kev

I appreciate all the feedback. Very helpful. Thank you.

Man, you forget to check in for a month or six and you miss all sorts of cool stuff...!

A little more progress. Mostly bits and bots left ...
 

 

 

 
Thanks guys...
